Park Sok-min (Korean박석민; born June 22, 1985, in Daegu, South Korea) is a Korean former baseball player. He played for the Samsung Lions and the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization. He is nicknamed Beu-Kol-Dwae (브콜돼). He bats and throws right-handed.

Professional career

After graduating from Daegu High School in 2004, Park made himself eligible for the 2004 KBO Draft and was selected by the Samsung Lions in the first round of the draft. However, he failed to make an impact in the rookie season, serving backup infielder during the whole season. After the 2004 season, he served in the military by playing for the Sangmu Phoenix baseball team from 2006 to 2007.

In 2008, Park returned to the Lions and became the starting third baseman for Samsung.

In 2015, Park signed a four-year, $8.12 million, contract with the NC Dinos, becoming the most expensive third baseman—breaking the 4 year, $7.28 million mark previously set by Choi Jeong of the SK Wyverns—in the KBO.

On July 16, 2021, Park was suspended the remainder of the season (72 games with 70 games left) after breaking COVID-19 social distancing rules.[1]

Characteristics

His nicknamed Beu-Kol-Dwae (브콜돼), which literally translates into broccoli + pig. This nickname derives from his stocky figure and curly hair.[2]
