The key cards at the time of the trade were Kim Min-seok and Jung Cheol-won. Kim Min-seok is gaining momentum by seizing the leadoff and center fielder in Doosan. On the other hand, Lotte did not even have the timing to put in Jung Cheol-won, a must-win group, in the opening two consecutive games.
Instead, Jeon Min-jae, who started as a shortstop in the second game, showed agile movement in defense with two hits and one RBI. The main shortstop Park Seung-wook penetrated the sluggish gap.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th, said, `Park Seung-wook is not very good at the exhibition game and even now. So I tried (former) Minjae, and it's okay. I'll try to write more for now."
Jeon Min-jae is a player who was received from Doosan at the time of the trade between Kim Min-seok and Jung Cheol-won. As the trade grew, Lotte sent another outfielder, Choo Jae-hyun, and a tall new pitcher, Choi Woo-in. Instead, he has been receiving Jeon Min-jae, who can cover the infield position with Jung Cheol-won.

In the exhibition game, Han Tae-yang and Lee Ho-joon mainly played shortstop, and Jeon Min-jae was used as an infield multi, including third base without Son Ho-young. However, when the season began and Park Seung-wook's poor performance was unusual, Jeon Min-jae immediately became the main player. Jeon Min-jae, who started against LG in Jamsil on the 23rd, played 2 hits and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats against Son Joo-young, who has become a native ace of LG.
As a result, he also had a chance to start against SSG on the same day. Lotte will play in the lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second base), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Reyes (left wing), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Son Ho-young (third base), Jeon Min-jae (striker) and Information-geun (catcher). The starter is Davison, a new foreigner.

Davison is a pitcher with a fastball over 150km and various pitches such as sweeper, curve, and fork ball. In particular, he is considered a tricky pitcher due to his good deception (hiding the ball).
Head coach Kim Tae-hyung predicted that he will take the mound twice a week on Tuesday, saying, `I think it will be a little difficult to throw more than 100 balls, and I hope you throw about 100 balls.' "It's my first appearance, so how to put the first button is very important. I'm going to focus on how much I can throw my ball," he stressed.
