I thought, “I’m a double-digit home run guy, too.”
Lotte Giants’ Son Ho-young played a “life game.”
Son Ho-young led his team to an 8-3 victory with a three-run shot in the first inning and a wedge solo shot in the eighth inning against the LG Twins at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd.먹튀검증
The homer had many meanings. It was his first multi-homer game in a single game since his debut in the pro league. On top of that, he also recorded his 10th and 11th career double-digit homers. He had 19 hits in a single season as a member of LG in the 2022 season, but he is poised to break this record only with homers this year.
Due to the collapse of the infield team, it was traded in the middle of this season led by manager Kim Tae-hyung, and this is changing Son Ho-young’s baseball life. He is constantly playing in the trust of manager Kim and is becoming an absolute being who leads the Lotte lineup at this point.

Son Ho-young said of his home run record after the game, “I thought so after the game. I thought I could hit double-digit home runs. I’ve never imagined that before. It was all the more special for me.”
Son Ho-young continued, “Actually, I thought it would be a double-digit home run if I hit one more. I was happy, but I couldn’t tell because it was early in the game. Still, my second home run in the seventh inning came at a time when I needed to score one more run, so I was happy then. I was very happy with the multi-homer game itself.”
Starting with a multi-hit game against the NC Dinos on April 27, Son has continued to display good batting performance until the away game of the Incheon SSG Landers. In two away games in Incheon, he had five hits, including one homer, and five RBIs. “Until then, I think I had a strong mindset that I should aim for it,” Son said. “I thought to myself, ‘When did I start aiming for it?'” he explained the secret of his stellar performance recently. “I wanted to see the ball and hit it well.
Son Ho-young said, “We have to endure it. What a great opportunity this is. I don’t think it’s the right time to say it’s hot.”
