Facing fierce criticism, Kang Baek-ho (24, KT) spoke directly.
Kang Baek-ho is in the middle of the controversy with the so-called ‘Arirang throw’ that came out at the LG match in Jamsil on the 18th. It was an LG attack at the end of the 5th inning with KT leading 3-2. Kim Hyun-soo, first baseman, hit right fielder Kang Baek-ho. It seemed to be 1st and 3rd base, but a problem arose when Kang Baek-ho put the ball into the infield. A loose throw that draws a large parabola exposed a gap, and Park Hae-min, a fast-footed runner, caught it and quickly made a home.
KT, who lost momentum, eventually lost 5-9. Kang Baek-ho’s complacent play, which allowed a tie in vain, was inevitably criticized.
Eventually, on the 23rd, he posted an apology through his social network service (SNS). “First of all, I apologize for this controversy. I think it is a worthy play even if I receive a lot of criticism from many people.”먹튀검증
He continued, “I think it was definitely my fault, and I know that many people have really high expectations and support for this season.” I apologize once again for hurting you.”
“There are many games left in the future, so I will work hard to help not only me but also our team to rebound further. I may not be able to satisfy everyone with my play, but I will try to become a player that the fans who support me can proudly see and satisfy.”
