35 years old 2.1 billion FA after returning to the first team in 33 days...I'll watch the cool head coach.

One-club man and must-win team. FA veteran with a total of 2.1 billion won (2+2 years).

Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung has a cold eye. Will Koo Seung-min be able to perform well again in the first team.

Lotte announced Koo Seung-min's entry registration on the 29th. I filled the vacancy of Park Jin-hyung, who was canceled the previous day.




Koo Seung-min was listed in the opening entry this season, but it was canceled on March 26, just four days later. A situation that could be humiliating for a 13-year veteran of his debut.

I changed my mind and hung on to pitching. After four perfect ⅔ in the last four games in the Futures, he was called to the first team again.

However, there is currently no place for the must-win group, which was expected before the season. When asked about Koo Seung-min, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Gocheok Sky Dome on the same day, flatly said, `I just registered because I heard that the arrest was made.'




"When it was best, he was a pitcher who threw up to 150 kilometers. I wonder how good the forkball angle would have become. I know it's up more than it was at the beginning of the season."

Currently, Lotte has no special bullpen positions except for setup Jung Chul-won and closing Kim Won-joong. Fortunately, Jung Hyun-soo and Song Jae-young seem to hold out well in the position of the semi-pil Seung-jo.

Choi Jun-yong, who is out due to injury, is urgently needed. Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `Choi Jun-yong has two live pitching sessions this week. You have to look at the situation"If the pitcher who used to throw in the first team went down because he wasn't feeling well?" is in good condition, you can raise it right away. But the player in the second division has to wait and see," he stressed.




Reyes, who suffers from thigh pain, will play as a designated hitter again on the day, and Jeon Jun-woo will take over the left field as it is.

Lotte will play in the lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second base), Reyes (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (left wing), Son Ho-young (third base), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher) and Jeon Min-jae (striker). The starter is Barnes.
