The SSG Landers failed to produce a single winner at the KBO Golden Globe Awards held on Nov. 11.

The overall winners, the LG Twins, had three winners and the NC Dinos had three, while the Doosan Bears, Kiwoom Heroes, Hanwha Eagles, and Samsung Lions had one each.

SSG is one of the teams that hasn't had much luck with the Golden Gloves.

However, there is one player who stands out. Their third baseman, Choi Jeong, is an active legend. He has a whopping eight Golden Gloves. This is second only to Yang Ji-Ho.

He won his first Golden Glove as a third baseman after his debut in 2011, and has since won it eight times in the same position, including three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013, 2016 to 2017, 2019, and 2021 to 2022.

Choi failed to win an award at the ceremony. Junior Noh Shi-hwan (Hanwha) won the Golden Glove for third base for the first time in his career.

Aside from Choi, no SSG player has won a Golden Glove in the past 13 years. Kim Kang-min, the 2010 outfielder, was the last player other than Choi to win the award. Despite winning the Korean Series in 2018 and 2022, no SSG player won a Golden Glove. Even Choi didn't win in 2018, and he was the only winner last year.

He won his first Golden Glove in 2008, his second year as a professional, when he won two titles and was named league MVP. But that was it.

There was a hiatus in the major leagues, and with foreigners dominating the pitching category since 2014 (except for Yang Hyun-jong in 2017 and Ahn Woo-jin in 2022), the chances of winning the award have dwindled even further.

In fact, the number of Golden Glove winners is not the only measure of a good organization. SSG won the team title last year without a single individual title. They prided themselves on being a "one-man team" with no standouts.

But the Golden Gloves, which are only awarded to the best players at each position, are an honor for the team as well as the individual player. It's a sense of pride that you've produced an iconic player who represents the league. You should take it as an obligation to create more new stars. If you don"t have an overwhelming performance, there are other ways to win votes with your star power.

Golden Globe winners, not the best. This will be an important task going forward for Landers, which needs a new sign.
