"The Golden Glove Race between Park Chan-ho and Oh Ji-hwan. They worked so hard in the 2023 season that no one would feel awkward. However, according to the detailed data on shortstop defense released by KBO, pure defense was Park Chan-ho's advantage, and voting score was Oh Ji-hwan's advantage. 토토사이트 순위
Park Chan-ho also has a slight advantage in his defense record based on the statistics. For the WAA, Park Chan-ho is ranked fifth in the league with 0.986, and Oh Ji-hwan is ranked 12th with 0.748.

In terms of overall batting average, Oh Ji-hwan is ranked 12th in the league with 91.57 percent, and Park Chan-ho is 25th in the league with 90.49 percent.

Oh Ji-hwan had a batting average of 0.268 with eight homers, 62 RBIs, 65 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases OPS of 0.767.
Based on Sports2I, the official KBO record label, Oh Ji-hwan has a rating of 3.63 and Park Chan-ho has a rating of 3.58. On the other hand, based on Stattiz, Park Chan-ho has a rating of 4.14 and Oh Ji-hwan has a rating of 4.11. On top of that, Oh Ji-hwan has the combined championship premium of LG and the MVP premium of the Korean Series.
Perhaps Park is looking at Oh's various premiums objectively. There was also a time when Park failed to contribute to KIA's semifinal battle due to an injury at the end of the season. Anyway, the voters' choice is over, and only the announcement will be made on the 11th.
Considering Park's interviews with him over the past few years, the Golden Glove is one of his wish lists. Choosing the national team is another wish list. If he gets the Golden Glove this year, he will be recognized as the best in the league objectively, and even if he doesn't, there will be no big gap with Oh anyway. Park remains the best shortstop.
Still, he hit .300 for the first time this year. It is okay to be proud and to maintain motivation. Kim Hye-sung (Kium Heroes) may return to shortstop next year, and Kim Joo-won (NC Dinos) is likely to grow exponentially with his national team experience. Park Sung-han (SSG Landers) and Lee Do-yoon (Hanwha Eagles) also have a good chance to take off. Park Chan-ho, who has become the best shortstop in the league after hardships, will enter the 2024 season to secure his position.
