In the words of Lotte Giants' Jeon Jun-woo, 'NO FEAR (without fear)' came to mind. The words that miraculously caused Lotte, which had always been in a sense of defeat at the bottom since manager Jerry Royster took office in 2008.
Jeon Jun-woo, who played under Royster at the time, was still running without fear.
Jeon Jun-woo led his team to second place alone by swinging a hard hit in a home game against the LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd. No. 4-Jun-Woo Jeon, who played as a designated hitter, went 4 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored. It's the first time this season that I've had four hits. In the at-bat where no hits were made, he stepped on the first base due to an opponent's error and went as a runner in all at-bats.
There were two impressive scenes. Down 2-3 in the bottom of the third. Jeon Joon-woo, who took first base thanks to a shortstop error as the leadoff hitter, attempted to tag up to second base when Na Seung-yeop made a fly to center field. Center fielder Park Hae-min caught it deep and quickly sprayed the ball. It was a close game and the result was tag out. It seemed a little too much.
Jeon Joon-woo hit a double at the bottom of the fourth inning with no outs and runners on first base to hit the right fence. After advancing to the third base, Jeon Min-jae's ground ball in front of the third baseman took advantage of third baseman Koo Bon-hyuk's throw to the first base, and touched the home faster than the ball thrown by first baseman Kim Hyun-soo to increase the score to 7-3, 4-point difference. Since then, Yoo Kang-nam was caught on a ground ball in front of the third base, so if it wasn't for Jeon Joon-woo's shrewd base run, it would have been 6-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning.
After the game, I asked Jeon Joon-woo, whom I met in the dugout, why he ran to second base in the bottom of the third inning. "I didn't play because I thought Park Hae-min's shoulders were weak because my feet were fast, but I decided that I could play because it was a deep ball."`````. But Park Hae-min's throw came too accurately" In the meantime, he showed an aggressive mind without fear, saying, `If you don't try, you won't know the result.'
The same goes for the home dash in the bottom of the fourth inning. Jeon Jun-woo was thinking in his head that he would run when a situation like a ground ball hit by a miss came out" Asked if he was playing to make up for his outing in the bottom of the third inning, "If that's the case, I shouldn't run."," he said with a smile.
