Looks like Hee-seop Choi turned it around in Korea.


I know there's still some Choi fans around True Blue. After news of Choi's bad year in Korea last year, you might be heartened to hear this.

From the Korean Times

The Tigers star hitter led the team's offence with seven homers in each of April and May, but opposing pitchers seemed to figure him out after that.

The first baseman, who recorded a .321 batting average in April, hit just .260 in May and has hit just .152 through 16 games in June.

However, Choi still wants to be the home run champion at season's end and thinks Sunday's blast could be the turning point.

``When I was struggling in the slump, it was really hard. I am hoping that this home run will help me turn things around and I will find my old form,'' Choi said.

Star-divide

Hopefully, Choi can keep on having a good year in Korea.

Hee-seop ...

Choi had a tough time acclimating to MLB. Never got comfortable. But good to hear he’s having some success back home.
