The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on the 10th that Choi Jung, a "right-handed slugger" representing the SSG Landers and the KBO League, has been selected as the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League Monthly MVP. 토토

Choi Jeong won 21 out of 29 votes (72.4%) and 155,287 out of 402,000 fan votes (38.8%) to beat the rival candidates with a total of 55.62 points. He was named the monthly MVP for the first time in four years since June 2019.

SSG topped the team's home run category with 34 home runs last month (June). Among them, Choi Jung recorded the most home runs in the team. In addition, he is tied for the lead in this category with 19 home runs in the season as of the 10th.

SSG Landers' flagship hitter Choi Jung was selected as the KBO League's monthly MVP in June 2023.
Choi Jung hit 11 home runs in June alone. Choi Jung-eun, who overwhelmingly topped the personal home run category in June, shot three consecutive home runs in a row from the Doosan Bears match at Jamsil Stadium on June 22 to the Samsung Lions match at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 24th.

He also hit back-to-back at-bats in games on June 1 and the 23rd of the same month. Choi topped both categories with 27 RBIs and a .787 slugging percentage a month. Most of them maintained the top spot in batting performance, including second place in scoring (23 points), fourth place in on-base percentage (431.00), and 1.218 OPS.

Choi also has 448 home runs. If the current pace is maintained, it is worth aiming to surpass Lee Seung-yeop (former Samsung, personal career 467 home runs, current Doosan coach) and become the No. 1 KBO League home run player within this year.

Choi Jung, who was selected as the MVP in June, will be given 2 million won in prize money. With the support of Shinhan Bank, 2 million donations will also be delivered to Pyeongchon Middle School, Choi Jeong-eun's middle school.
