Jeon Min-jae, who almost fell into hell.

Lotte Giants' Jeon Min-jae rode the roller coaster really well. How dizzying it must have been, as the game almost flew into his own hands. But I won, so it's a happy ending.

Jeon Min-jae is Lotte's best 'Cinderella' this season. Although the trade drew attention as Kim Min-seok (Doosan) and Jung Cheol-won (Lotte), it is Jeon Min-jae who benefited the most from the trade. In the days of Doosan, he was only a backup infielder, but he came to Lotte and immediately secured the main shortstop position.




I had no choice but to. The bat burst in solid defense. He caused a syndrome by hitting a batting average of 424 per month in April, and continued his tremendous momentum with a batting average of 388 in May. The number of fans engraved Jeon Min-jae's name and number on the uniform of Sajik Stadium has increased exponentially.

But the first full-time season can't always be good. In June, the bat that had been hitting so well began to become dull, and the batting average in June was in the 10% range.

The game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 19th was a stage of reversal. Manager Kim Tae-hyung placed Jeon Min-jae, who had recently been sluggish, in the ninth. an order to ease the burden. When I went to No. 9, I came back to life like a fish in water. a three-hit blast. In particular, with two outs in the second inning, the team's second timely hit scored a great concentration. Lotte took the lead by hitting a timely hit with two outs in the first inning after Jeon Joon-woo and Jeon Min-jae in the second inning both missed a chance for a situation with one out.




The joy of playing the first three-hit game in June was also brief. A huge accident occurred in the eighth inning with a 4-0 lead. Choi Jun-yong, a must-win group, was shaken by a walk by An Chi-hong and a hit by Moon Hyun-bin. It was okay because I had four points to spare. Choi Jun-yong induced No. 4 Noh Si-hwan to ground out to shortstop. A double play course. However, Jeon Min-jae, who was in a hurry, threw the ball to a place where second baseman Han Tae-yang could not catch it. Mistake. The ball rolled to the fence outside the foul line on the first base side. Two runners home-in and Noh Si-hwan had the worst situation to go to third base. Jeon Min-jae's throwing mistake is obvious to anyone.

Han Tae-yang is regretful when Lotte shortstop Jeon Min-jae's throw to the second base fell behind when Hanwha and Lotte played at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 19th and Hanwha Roh Si-hwan hit a ground ball with no outs and runners on the first and second bases in the top of the eighth inning.

Even worse, Hanwha Chae Eun-sung's timely hit was made. 3-4 first base with no outs. An atmosphere of tie or reversal has been created. However, pinch hitter Choi In-ho struck out and the fire was extinguished, and pinch runner Kim Tae-yeon's failure to steal a base following Hwang Young-mook's outfield fly allowed Lotte to maintain a one-point lead. It was the moment when Jeon Min-jae died and was revived.

In the end, Lotte won with Kim Won-joong's save in the ninth inning. Jeon Min-jae became a night where he could sleep with his two feet out. If it had been a tie, not a reversal, it would have been embarrassing to see teammates in the dugout and locker room.
