'Painful errors' for 10 consecutive games... 'League's most disgraceful record' casts dark clouds over the standings race

The Doosan Bears are crying over their errors.

This season, Doosan has committed 91 errors, ranking first among the 10th teams in the league for the most errors. From the game against KIA Tigers on the 15th through the game against KT Wiz on the 27th, they have recorded consecutive errors in 10 straight games. Sitting in fifth place, Doosan managed only four wins and six losses during this period, widening the gap to third-place KIA and fourth-place LG Twins by 2.5 games.

Especially during last week's road series against KT, defensive errors led directly to crucial runs, resulting in heartbreaking extra-inning defeats on two consecutive days. In the game on the 26th, Doosan had taken a 1-0 lead, but in the bottom of the third inning, consecutive throwing errors by third baseman An Jae-seok and shortstop Park Chan-ho allowed KT to take a 2-1 lead. On the 27th, with Doosan trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs and a runner on third base, another throwing error by An Jae-seok surrendered an additional run.

This season, Doosan's Park Chan-ho has committed 16 errors, ranking second in the league behind LG shortstop Oh Ji-hwan (17 errors). An Jae-seok is tied for fifth with 13 errors, followed by Park Jun-soon and Park Ji-hoon, each with eight errors (tied for 16th place). Four Doosan players are among the top 20 in error count.

Doosan attempted to revamp its infield by acquiring free agent shortstop Park Chan-ho this season. With An Jae-seok, previously a regular at shortstop, moving to third base, backup third baseman Park Ji-hoon took on first base duties as well. Lee Yu-chan has alternated between second base and shortstop, while Kang Seung-ho experimented with right field early in the second half after playing both first and second base.

An Jae-seok, making his first full-time appearance at third base, continues to show inconsistency. Second baseman Park Jun-soon also displays fluctuating defensive performance compared to his batting. Additionally, frequent errors have been recorded from Park Ji-hoon and Kang Seung-ho, who have alternated at first base, as well as from Severino.

Doosan had previously set a KBO League record for the most consecutive games without an error, going 14 straight games from April 15 against SSG Landers to April 30 against Samsung Lions, surpassing the previous record of 13 games (achieved four times). However, as the season nears its end and every win or loss becomes increasingly critical, a string of painful errors has cast dark clouds over their standings race.
