The hottest battlefield in the Golden Glove competition is the outfield, which picks three players in total.
Among domestic players, Samsung's Koo Ja-wook, who has achieved a strong performance, is expected to take one place, but the remaining two seats are difficult to predict prematurely.
SSG Eredia, who ranked first in the batting average, second in hits, and third in RBIs, and Lotte Reyes, who broke the record for the most hits ever and ranked second in the batting average, are a little ahead in terms of records.
However, kt Rojas, who has played evenly in batting indicators and contributed a lot to victory, and Hong Chang-ki, who ranked first in on-base percentage for two consecutive years, are also considered strong candidates.
The pitcher is expected to compete with Samsung's Won Tae-in, KIA's Nail, and NC Heart.
Won Tae-in and Nail took the most important indicators, the title of multiple wins and ERA, and Hart, who ranks first in strikeouts, second in ERA, and third in multiple wins, is considered to be ahead in overall performance.
In the infield, only the third baseman position was reserved by KIA Kim Do-young, who played the best in the KBO this season,
The first base of
is expected to be Austin, the RBI king, Davison, the second base is expected to be Kim Sun-bin, the MVP of the Korean Series, Kiwoom Kim Hye-sung, who is challenging the Major League, and KIA Park Chan-ho and SSG Park Sung-han, who hit more than 300.
In the catcher category, Samsung's Kang Min-ho is leading, and the designated hitter is interested in the fierce battle between Choi Hyung-woo, Kim Jae-hwan, and Kang Baek-ho.
[Min Hoon-ki / Baseball commentator: With a wide variety of records pouring in on the batting side this year, at least two players will compete fiercely in each position except for third baseman Kim Do-young.]
