Jeon Min-jae (24, Lotte Giants) started the game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 19th and recorded one hit (one home run) and two RBIs in three at-bats.
The team lost 3-10, but they kept their pride with a home run.
In the top of the fourth inning, Samsung pitcher Lee Seung-min hit a fastball as it came to the center in 2B2S against Samsung pitcher Lee Seung-min and crossed the left-center fence.

Kim Min-seok, who joined the first round of the 2023 rookie draft (3rd overall), Choo Jae-hyun, who has played in 95 games in 2021, and right-hander Choi Woo-in, who can throw fast balls, were sent to Doosan. Lotte received Jung Chul-won, a pitcher from the 'New In King', and Jeon Min-jae, an infielder who played in 100 games last year.
At that time, most viewed the main trade card as Kim Min-seok and Jung Cheol-won. It was a trade between a batter who had 100 hits in his first year of his debut with the first nomination and a pitcher who even experienced a finishing pitcher by throwing a 150km fastball.
At the start of the season and over 20 games. A surprise star appeared.
Jeon Min-jae has been making a name for himself since mid-April. He has hit in 14 consecutive games since the game against Doosan on the 4th, recording a batting average of .406 in 23 games. He has a batting average of 463 in 16 games in April.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who watched Jeon Min-jae during his tenure as Doosan head coach, highly valued his experience by playing in 100 games with Doosan last year. Coach Kim said, `I think playing 100 games in the first team last year helped me"It's good to come to Lotte now and have the flow or something like that. I'm good at guessing, but I think I pay particular attention to that part when I get a hit"I looked at it.
Another official said "It's time to do well. He grew little by little as he gained experience last year, but it was good when he came to Lotte. Also, as I received the opportunity at Lotte, I felt confident.
He was putting a lot of effort into the 'getting right' part, but Jeon Min-jae even showed off his slugging power by hitting a home run. The .400 batting average continued, and now the home run is added.
Although he is showing his peak hitting sense, coach Kim expressed his intention to manage his physical strength. Director Kim said "I think he has a good face. We need to maintain this pace a little more" and "I'm trying to save my stamina from next week."
