1st base head first sliding capability man Jo performance. 

There is a player who says, "I have to slide to first base so I don't get hurt." Cho Ha-haeng, who continues the Doosan Bears track and field tradition, is the main character.

Of the 37 hits Cho Sang-haeng hit this season, as many as nine were bunting. This is why when Cho Ha-haeng enters the batter's box, the opposing team's corner infielders play forward defense in unison.

Despite pressure from the opposing team, Cho Ha-haeng's surprise bunt continues. He is confident that he can create an infield hit if he hits the right direction of the ball.

The match against Samsung in Daegu on the 22nd. Cho Soo-haeng, the leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning, sprinted to first base after making a surprise bunt. Samsung catcher Kang Min-ho, who caught the ball, had no choice but to feel urgent. He threw to first base with all his might to catch Cho Sang-haeng, but the ball missed. Cho Sang-haeng, who did head-first sliding, got up immediately and ran to third base. Doosan ran away 3-1 with Cho Ha-sung stepping home on a follow-up hit.

First base head first sliding. It's a controversial play. There are many opinions that they should refrain because they are not faster than feet and have a high risk of injury. Recently, KIA shortstop Park Chan-ho also suffered ligament injury in his left finger while sliding headfirst to first base.

Fans are worried to see Cho Sang-haeng throwing himself toward first base without hesitation if they think they can live.

"There is no fear or burden of injury at all," Cho Ha-haeng said of the first-base head-first sliding. There is also an opinion that it is faster to enter with your feet, but my sliding is the result of the body's own response. I slide without realizing it. Most of all, I have to slide so that I don't get hurt."

What's the secret to not getting hurt?

"I've had a lot of bunt hits since college. Since then, I have learned my own sliding method. "At the moment of the base touch, you raise your finger slightly." In fact, if you look at Cho Ha-haeng's play, he is avoiding impact with his left hand touching the first base and slightly lifting it at the same time.

Cho's outfield defense is often admired.
This season is the year when Cho Sang-haeng takes off as a starting member. The outfield defense has already risen to the highest level in the league. "We won because of Cho's defense," Lee Seung-yeop praised the team's victory against Samsung in Daegu on the 22nd.

However, he is still lacking in batting. Shaking the opponent's infield with a surprise bunt is also a desperate struggle for survival. 스포츠토토

Cho Ha-haeng said, "As I continue to play, my personal record is improving, but I can never be satisfied. "You have to be much better to become a main player," he said, evaluating himself coolly.

Cho's batting average this season remains at 0.214. However, his batting average, which was less than 10 percent until July, rose to 0.270 in August, and he is showing good performance of 0.283 13 hits and 4 RBIs in 46 times at bat in September.

Doosan is strong this fall. Cho Sang-haeng's foot baseball is adding a big boost.
