Who's Park Se-hyun.

Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 14th, when the exhibition game between the Lotte Giants and the Hanwha Eagles was held. Lotte was blocked by Hanwha's mound wall and lost 0-2. It's an exhibition game where the result doesn't matter, but if you lose due to empty-handedness as the opening approaches, you'll get upset.

But it wasn't without income. Starter Park Jin pitched three scoreless innings, and the pitchers who threw afterwards also threw the ball confidently. It was a good thing to block two runs from the Hanwha slugging line.




Among them, a pitcher named Park Se-hyun stood out. I came out in the seventh inning and erased three batters with 15 balls. With one strikeout. I caught Shim Woo-joon, Lee Won-seok, and Choi In-ho. They were never easy hitters. Regardless of the result, it seemed obvious to throw a fastball with a maximum speed of 148km in the middle with confidence. It was also great to show a fast ball against Lee Won-seok and take the timing with a crystal slider.

Did Lotte have a pitcher like that?' and this year's rookie. After graduating from Bae Myung-go, Lotte is a prospect selected in the second round of the rookie draft. The down payment alone was 150 million won. Quality means being a good pitcher.

No matter how much it is an exhibition game, other rookie players tend to be nervous about the first professional game that is broadcasted nationwide and spectators come in. But this player never looked like that. This mound was not a luck either. He already became a winning pitcher by pitching ⅔ innings against the LG Twins on the 11th. In the top of the eighth inning, when the two teams were facing 2-2 with one out and one on the first base, they made their first appearance in the exhibition game, and they walked leader Lee Young-bin to get on base, but they ended the inning by inducing Koo Bon-hyuk to ground out and striking out Oh Ji-hwan, a pinch hitter. Lotte scored the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning to become a winning pitcher. Oh Ji-hwan's strikeout was also a fastball in the middle of 146km. Oh Ji-hwan wasted this.

Lotte drew attention by selecting left-hander Kim Tae-hyun from Gwangju Jeil High School in the first round. Kim Tae-hyun is also taking the mound in an exhibition game, but his arrest is not rising due to the aftermath of his hamstring injury. Meanwhile, an energetic rookie pitcher named Park Se-hyun, who did not have high expectations, has emerged, raising expectations. Of course, there will be a lot of things to clean up to become a first-team player, but based on the qualities shown now, it is in the mood to become Lotte's new must-win team in a short time.
