With this hit, Son Ah-seop surpassed KBSN Sports commentator Park Yong-taek (150 hits for 7 consecutive seasons
2012-2018 seasons) and set a record of 150 hits for the first 8 consecutive seasons in the KBO League.
He also recorded 200 bases, becoming the second player in history to complete 200 bases in 11 consecutive seasons, putting him on par with Dae-ho Lee (2005-2011, 2017-2020 seasons).
