Futurity's steal king is stretching in the first team as well. When it comes to speed, there is a faster player than Hwang Sung-bin.

Lotte Giants' Jang Doo-sung (26) is the main character.

Jang Doo-sung, a Dongsan High School native, wore a Lotte uniform in the second 10th round (93rd overall) when he was nominated in 2018. Just because a sub-pick player survived for eight years, it is possible to guess how great a tool Jang Doo-sung is.




His feet are fast, but he also obeys the sliding skill of throwing his body to the elasticity he receives every time he turns the base.

During that time, he was famous for literally being a 'fast' player among 'start, speed, and sliding' which are called the three elements of stealing. After coming out as a pinch runner, he was repeatedly caught in check and produced a heart-wrenching appearance several times. It was not easy to meet the reputation of the Futures League steal king (37) in the first team in 2021.

However, he made 14 stolen bases (82.3%) in 71 games last year, impressing the head coach. This year, Yoon Dong-hee is showing off his talent to the fullest by taking over the right field position while falling into a slump.

Jang Doo-sung's talent also shone without regret in the Kiwoom Heroes match held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th. He also solved the regret of his mistake, which he took on somewhat unfortunately.

Jang Doo-sung's home pitch was recorded as an error when Kiwoom made a timely hit with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the second inning. The throw itself was headed home in one bound. Additional runs continued as it bounced off Yoo Kang-nam's leg side. The official record is a throwing error to right field.

However, Jang Doo-sung picked up Kiwoom Jeon Tae-hyun's line drive ball with a diving catch with two outs and a third base in the top of the third inning and hit a hit in the bottom of the third inning, trailing 0-4. It was Lotte's first hit, which had been tied up by giving up three strikeouts to Kiwoom starter Rosenberg. Hwang Sung-bin drew a walk and continued his chance. It didn't lead to a score, but it was enough to change the flow. Lotte followed with two runs in the fourth inning.




He appeared as a leadoff hitter in the sixth inning when he followed 4-5, and hit again to get on base. With one out and a runner on the second base, Jeon Min-jae jumped home with his unique explosive speed during his timely hit. Jeon Jun-woo's home run played an important stepping stone in the process of turning the game around and winning the come-from-behind victory.

Not only are the feet fast, but the shoulders are strong. Manager Kim Tae-hyung explained about Lotte's three foot baseball players, Hwang Sung-bin, Jang Doo-sung and Kim Dong-hyuk, saying, `I don't know how much Jang Doo-sung or Kim Dong-hyuk will do if they give me a chance because they have good tools, but in fact, there are not many opportunities to use them.'

"Jang Du-seong is fast, so he is safe in some cases, and he has a wide range of defenses. He has a good ability to catch up with the ball, and he deserves to leave the defense to him with confidence. You're doing a great job," he added. Last year, Lotte established itself as a starting point for foot baseball, with Hwang Sung-bin ranking third (51) in on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS). Now it's Jang Doo-sung's turn to support him.
