"The other team cares about (Hwang) Sung-bin. That's the role the team wants."

It has the power to change the flow. It also has the ability to raise the team's energy level by two to three levels.

It is given to Lotte Giants Hwang Sung-bin (28). Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 17th, smiled when Hwang Sung-bin was mentioned.




"Four hits are not important, but it's important to make the opposing team pay attention to Sung-bin. That's the player's role, the team's expectations."

In the first inning of the previous day, Hwang Sung-bin stole third base and home in succession with two outs and runners on first and second bases. After Kang Baek-ho in 2021, he became the second player in professional baseball history to steal two bases between one official pitch.

It was a chance to score, and Jeon Jun-woo, the fifth batter 'Captain', stood at the batter's box. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, it became two consecutive Bumtaros. If Hwang Sung-bin's stolen base failed, it was on the verge of handing over the flow at once.

It is Hwang Sung-bin's ability to make that 'decision' and put it into practice. In the first year of his debut in the first division, he recorded 10 stolen bases and 12 stolen bases and failed, but as a result of accumulating experience in the face of reality, he recorded a success rate of 83.6% with 51 stolen bases and 10 failed bases last year.

This is also the point where head coach Kim Tae-hyung admires. Director Kim Tae-hyung didn't do it by asking "." The timing was completely caught by himself," he said with a tongue-in-cheek.

Recently, the combination of No. 9 hitter Jang Doo-sung and No. 1 hitter Hwang Sung-bin has been bothering opposing batteries and infielders. It is a combination of two athletes competing for the top spot in Lotte's track and field division. They are two players who are so fast, and Jang Doo-sung is so good that he feels like he has no gaps in his shoulders.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung is aiming for a plus effect. It's psychological pressure on the opponent's battery.

"Not frightening hitters. But it's troublesome to go out. So the battery becomes urgent. The bench instructs 'Even if it's just right, stick fast' And when I go out? We're going to second base."
