Nexen Heroes slugger Park Byung-ho has become the country's third player to hit over 30 home runs in four consecutive years.
 
The 29-year-old infielder hit his 30th homer of the season against Samsung Lions in Pohang on Thursday in the third inning.
 
Park hit 31 home runs in 2012, 37 in 2013 and 52 last year.
 
With his latest homer, he made a big step toward winning his fourth straight home run title in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO).
 
Samsung Lions slugger Lee Seung-yeop holds the record for most consecutive 30-plus homerun seasons, going yard more than 30 times for seven straight years from 1997 to 2003.
