Jeon Min-jae (26), who created a new wind for the Lotte Giants this year, overcomes his injury and raises the bat again.
Lotte said on the 8th that Jeon Min-jae had no abnormalities after an ophthalmic examination at the National Medical Center. From the 9th to the 11th, we will conduct technical training at the Futures team, and then participate in the Futures League games to enhance our sense of practice."
Jeon Min-jae suffered an unexpected injury while playing in the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match on the 29th of last month. The opposing pitcher's 140km/h two-seam fastball hit Jeon Min-jae's helmet. The ball didn't hit the face or head directly, but the aftermath of hitting the helmet was quite big. The helmet hit the headshot and spun, hitting him in the right eye, resulting in an intraocular hemorrhage. This is the background of the ophthalmic examination on this day.
Jeon Min-jae was heading for his best season since his professional debut this year. Since graduating from Daejeon High School and joining the Doosan Bears in the 40th place in the fourth round of the second round of the rookie draft in 2018, he has been expected to be an infielder with strong defense, but he has rarely caught a chance to become a main player. Then, in his seventh year as a professional, he played in 100 games, the most in his personal season, hitting like Altoran at bat last year. As a shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman, he proved his stable defense and batting average of 0.246 (61 hits in 248 at-bats) with 32 RBIs, and was traded to Lotte ahead of this season. Lotte, which needed infield reinforcement, had a good impression on it.

Jeon Min-jae, who was desperate while changing his uniform, flew wild from the opening. He had a batting average of 0.387 (36 hits in 93 at-bats) in 30 games before his injury. During the month of April, he showed a batting average of 0.423 (33 hits in 78 at-bats) with an OPS of 1.002, contributing to Lotte's leap to the top. He was also honored to be nominated as a monthly MVP for the first time in his career, as he ranked No. 1 in batting average in April. Although the April MVP lost to Hanwha Eagles ace Cody Ponce, Jeon finished second with a total score of 21.55 points, receiving 116,390 votes, the most in fan voting.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung hopes Jeon Min-jae will return to the ground healthy without headshot trauma. If he recovers his condition in the Futures League and continues his performance as he did in April, he is expected to become a thousand troops. Coach Kim plans to give Jeon Min-jae enough time to recover and return as rookie Lee Ho-joon is filling the vacancy well.
