Lotte registered pitcher Park Si-young and infielder Choi Hang in the first division ahead of the match against the Busan KIA Tigers on the 9th. Instead, infielder Park Seung-wook and outfielder Cho Se-jin were canceled.
Park Si-young was released by KT after the end of last season and is in the first team since returning to Lotte for the first time in five years. He also stayed in the second-tier camp during the spring camp before the season. Choi Hang will return to the first team in 12 days since his cancellation on the 28th of last month.
Attention is drawn to Park Seung-wook, who was canceled in a day. Park Seung-wook went down to the second division on the 27th of last month and was called by the first division ahead of the game the day before.
He started as the main shortstop along with the registration of the first team, but was sluggish, making no hits in two at-bats in batting and two errors in defense. In the top of the second inning, he failed to catch Lee Woo-sung's ground ball to shortstop and spilled it backward to record his first error. Kim Jin-wook pitched well without losing a point by holding a no-hitter march until the fifth inning, but if there were no errors, he might have been more energized with a perfect score.
Park Seung-wook, who only hit a fly ball in his first at-bat and an infield grounder in his second at-bat, did not play at-bat due to the failure of first baseman Ko Seung-min to steal a base in the bottom of the sixth inning.
However, he failed to catch Kim Tae-gun's fly ball in defense in the top of the seventh inning, causing a big crisis. Fortunately, neither error led to a loss, but it was a moment when the team's atmosphere was greatly disturbed. In the end, considering that Lotte suffered a come-from-behind loss by four to five and one point on the day, the responsibility is not light.

Park Seung-wook has yet to record a hit this season. He has no hits in 9 at-bats in 10 games, and one ball that fits his body is all about getting on base. He also has fast feet, so he can use the pinch runner and infield multi-ro, but manager Kim Tae-hyung just chose to cancel it.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game, sighed when asked about Park Seung-wook's error, saying, `It's not a ball that will miss it so much.' There seemed to be a lot of disappointment with the game the day before.
Regarding Park Si-young, he explained, `I called him to take a look because he was a player who threw a little before.' Regarding the current bullpen situation except Jeong Chul-won, he also added that `Park Jin, two left hands (Jeong Hyun-soo and Song Jae-young) and Kim Kang-hyun are the only ones left.'
Park Seung-wook joined Lotte after being released from KT Wiz and replaced Noh Jin-hyuk as the main shortstop. In particular, he recorded his first 100 hits in his debut last year, making his career high. However, as many as 23 mistakes were the problem. Park Seung-wook is scheduled to become an FA after this season, but he is in a position to get out of the slump in offense and defense.
