The KBO Records That Became History Because Someone Was the First to Cross Them
The Players Who First Opened the Doors to 200 Wins, 2000 Hits, 30-30, and 40-40
Reading the KBO records that became history because someone crossed them for the first time in order of numerical value can make it easy to overlook the differences in eras and roles. This is because the number of games, hitter-pitcher environments, player positions, and team circumstances varied greatly. This list selects actual players and seasons that can be verified in the official KBO records and legend materials, examining how we can understand the league's scale and game environment at the time the familiar numbers were first achieved.
Each item includes conditions for comparison, not just the magnitude of the records but also their achievement process. We avoided values that change daily, like those from the ongoing season, and focused on confirmed historical records. While the same player may appear in multiple lists, we explain them through different questions about single seasons, first milestones, pitching, foreign players, and retired numbers.

Lee Man-soo's First KBO Home Run
Lee Man-soo's First Home Run in KBO League
The first item in "The KBO Records That Became History Because Someone Was the First to Cross Them" is Lee Man-soo's first home run in the KBO League. This was the first home run of the league, hit during the opening game at Dongdaemun Baseball Stadium on March 27, 1982. The historical significance lies in the fact that a single hit became the starting point of the official record for professional baseball. The basic information to verify when looking at the official records includes his team, the Samsung Lions, the benchmark time, 1982, and the key record, KBO's first regular season home run. By placing these three pieces of information together, we can better comprehend the game environment and player role that shaped this number.
When comparing Lee Man-soo's first home run in the KBO League with players from other eras, we must first distinguish the number of regular season games, plate appearances, innings, ballparks, and the trends in hitting and pitching. The cumulative record of Lee Man-soo's first home run highlights his consistency, while the rate records reflect whether he met the minimum appearance standards. Numbers such as his wins, RBIs, and runs scored—indicative of his teammates' support—should not be explained solely by individual ability.
The reason we've placed this at the first of the eight is that it concretely shows how we can understand the scale of the league and game environment at the time when familiar numbers were first achieved through the specific player’s career. For record 3994, let's first check the year of accomplishment and then look for the current standards in the same category. Finally, summarizing in a sentence what the record of Lee Man-soo's first home run demanded most strongly from technique, stamina, strategy, or consistency results in a narrative that goes beyond just numbers.

Jang Jong-hoon's First 40 Home Runs in a Season
Jang Jong-hun's First Season with 40 Home Runs
The second item in "The KBO Records That Became History Because Someone Was the First to Cross Them" is Jang Jong-hun's first season with 40 home runs. In 1992, he became the first in the KBO to surpass the 40 home run milestone with 41 home runs. It’s worth examining the process in which a player developed from a developmental player to a key hitter, changing the benchmark for the era of power hitting. The basic information to verify in the official records includes his team, Binggrae Eagles, the benchmark time, 1992, and the key record, the first season achieving 40 home runs. By placing these three pieces of information together, we can better understand the game environment and player role that shaped this number.
When comparing Jang Jong-hun's first season with 40 home runs to players from different eras, we need to first distinguish the number of regular season games, plate appearances, innings, ballparks, and hitting-pitching trends. Jang Jong-hun's cumulative record for his first season of 40 home runs emphasizes consistency, while the rate records reflect whether he met minimum appearance standards. Numbers like his wins, RBIs, and runs scored, which reflect his teammates' support, are more accurately explained when not solely attributed to individual ability.

He became the first player to record both milestones in his rookie season, creating a symbol of combining power and speed. This demonstrates the difficulty of maintaining both records concurrently. The basic information to verify when looking at the official records includes his team, Hyundai Unicorns, the benchmark time, 1996, and the key record, KBO's first 30-30. By placing these three pieces of information together, we can better comprehend the game environment and player role that shaped this number.

It opened the door to an accumulation record that requires maintaining the minimum number of plate appearances and productivity over a long period. It allows us to appreciate the value of consistency versus the explosive performance of a single season.

After reading all the items, it becomes clear that old records are not just numbers in a museum but rather benchmarks for the next generation to challenge. By looking at the dates and league size when the records were set, as well as the batting order, defense, and relief operations, we can more fairly understand how the familiar numbers were first achieved. It is also important to avoid conclusively determining the superiority of current players based on just one item.
When rechecking, make sure to first look at the year and the distinction between regular and post-seasons in the KBO official records. For batters, it's good to connect to appearances, on-base percentage, and slugging; for pitchers, innings and earned run average; and for retired numbers, contributions beyond records to the franchise. By selecting the most astonishing number and the most enduring process, you create your own path to exploring baseball history.
