Lotte Giants Na Kyun-an was replaced after a disappointing report card in his first appearance in 6 days.

Na Kyun-an started against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th and left the mound in four ⅓ innings.

He allowed three runs on six hits, one hit-by-one ball and three walks. Every inning, the runner went to second base, and he struggled repeatedly. The number of pitches reaching 85 shows this well. It was a strong pitch that lasted three runs.




Only the first inning was clean. He struck out Cave and Yang Seok-hwan, ending with a three-way exit.

In the bottom of the second inning, he gave up the first run. Third baseman Son Ho-young's error made it to second base with one out, and Doosan's Oh Myung-jin's timely hit. He then allowed two consecutive hits to Doosan's Kim Min-seok and Kim Ki-yeon, giving up two runs, but Kim Min-seok was out at third base and took a breather.

At the bottom of the third inning, he allowed Cave and Kim Jae-hwan to walk, facing a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second bases, but struck out Kang Seung-ho to overcome the crisis.




In the bottom of the fourth inning, he was hit again by Oh Myung-jin and Kim Min-seok, followed by Kim Ki-yeon's sacrifice bunt and Park Joon-young's walk to load the bases with one out. Na Kyun-an handled Jung Soo-bin with a fly ball to the second base and Cave with a fly ball to the left field, and held on as he lost another run.

That was it. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Yang Seok-hwan, the first batter, allowed a hit to Kim Jae-hwan. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung put up with it once more and dragged Na Kyun-an, but he couldn't stand Kang Seung-ho's almost hit to the middle of the right. If it wasn't for Lotte center fielder Hwang Sung-bin's defense, the game could end there.

Against the next pitcher Song Jae-young, Doosan's Oh Myung-jin recorded an RBI infield ground ball deep in the second base, and Na Kyun-an lost three runs. Compared to the contents of the game on the day, it was a very fortunate score.




This year, Na Kyun-an is riding a roller coaster every season. In his first appearance against SSG Landers on March 27, he allowed two runs in four ⅔ innings and then the Hanwha Eagles (two runs in five ⅓) and the KIA Tigers (three runs in six innings), but he was sluggish in the Kiwoom Heroes match on the 15th with five runs (three earned runs) in four innings.

He pitched hard again with one run in five ⅓ innings against the Samsung Lions on the 20th, but failed to fill the fifth inning again. The maximum speed of fastballs (30) came out to 147 kilometers, and he mixed and threw fork balls (32), curves (14), and cut fast balls (9). There were 48 strikes and 37 balls.
