Lotte Giants rookie Han Seung-hyun (19) tasted his first hit since his debut.

Han Seung-hyun started in center field as the eighth batter against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 26th, and hit a left-handed hit in the second at-bat in the fourth inning.

It was his first hit in his ninth game this year, his second start, and his sixth at-bat.




Han Seung-hyun from Jangchung High School set the record of consecutive home runs at-bats in a weekend league game against GD Challengers BC in August last year.

Among Jangchung High School players who are famous for having a lot of tool guys, he is said to be the first to have agile and speedy skills. It is a style that is comparable to KT Wiz Jung Joon-young, a high school senior, but it was evaluated as having strong shoulders. In last year's rookie draft, he wore a Lotte uniform with the 84th overall ranking in the 9th round.

The down payment may vary depending on the order of nomination, but once you enter the professional league, everyone starts from the same starting line. The player who shows this well is Han Seung-hyun. Before the season, he was a rookie in the 9th round, but he was an unregistered player. He was not even called by the first-team spring camp. However, after consistently receiving good reviews in the second division, he was thrilled to be promoted to the first division with official registration on the 5th.

Initially, Lotte's center fielder resources were Hwang Sung-bin, Jang Doo-sung, and Kim Dong-hyuk, who are called the "three shots in baseball", including national outfielder Yoon Dong-hee. However, Han Seung-hyun emerged as an alternative due to the all-time bad news that Yoon Dong-hee, Hwang Sung-bin and Jang Doo-sung collapsed due to a string of injuries.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung's evaluation of Han Seung-hyun is focused on defense. Coach Kim Tae-hyung's iron rule is that "defence comes first before anything for a second-tier player to come to the first team." On top of that, his feet are fast and his shoulders are not bad, so he has wide utilization as a pinch runner and logarithmic ratio. Although it is not a completely refined resource yet, the center fielder resource needed a player who could cover the position at any time, except for Kim Dong-hyuk.

In particular, Han Seung-hyun, who was replaced by a major defense against the Samsung Lions in Busan on the 20th, caught Kim Ji-chan's sharp ball with a diving catch in the top of the seventh inning and immediately threw it to first base, catching even first baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk, who had already started, making a proper impression on Lotte fans.

In his first at-bat against NC, he stepped down with an infield grounder, but appeared as a leadoff batter in the second at-bat in the fourth inning, pulling NC Mok Ji-hoon's fourth 142km fastball at the ball count 2B1S to create a left-handed hit. It was his first hit since he made his professional debut.

He had an RBI chance in the fifth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, but the coach's choice was pinch-hitter Na Seung-yeop. Instead, Na Seung-yup perfectly rewarded the expectations of head coach Kim Tae-hyung and Han Seung-hyun by shooting a three-run 115-meter come-from-behind final over the right fence..

After the game, Han Seung-hyun said "Park Jae-yeop and Park Chan-hyung had hits earlier, but their first hit in the first division came later than expected. I'm very happy to be out today. I got a lot of birthday wishes from the members"He didn't hide his excitement.

In the second division, he thanked Lee Byung-kyu, coach Yoo Min-sang, and defense coach Park Jung-hyun for intensive training.

Before the season, he was a rookie in the 9th round, but he was an `unregistered' player. The first team registration and first hit, which were the top goals, have already been achieved. He also impressed manager Kim Tae-hyung and Lotte fans a lot. Han said his goal is to `play this season without getting sick, and to play for the first team as long as possible and to contribute to the team.'
