Park Sok-min (Hangul: 박석민; born June 22, 1985 in Daegu, South Korea) is an infielder who plays for the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization. He is nicknamed Beu-Kol-Dwae (Hangul: 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 Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps baseball team from 2005 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.
