"To the end...."

Jang Doo-sung (26, Lotte Giants) started as the first batter and center fielder in a home game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th and recorded two hits and one RBI in five at-bats.

After Hwang Sung-bin was out due to a finger injury, Lotte gave Jang Doo-sung the leadoff position. Jang Doo-sung, who joined Lotte in the second round of the rookie draft in 2018 (93rd overall), played as a major defense or pinch runner until last year due to his fast feet and stable defense.




At the beginning of this season, the opportunity did not seem to be easy to reach as the main player in the first division. However, he showed his competitiveness as a first-team player by firmly taking advantage of the opportunity he gained from Hwang Sung-bin's injury absence.

The game against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 7th. Jang Doo-sung's shot led his team to victory. In the first at-bat of the first inning, he grounded out, but did not miss the chance created in the third inning.

In the top of the third inning, when the score was 1-1, Lotte's Han Tae-yang hit a triple after one out. Jang Doo-sung then played against Doosan starter Choi Seung-yong and hit a slider for the sixth pitch in 2B2S. He pushed the ball outside the bottom of the strike zone as it was, and the ball went behind left field. The third baseman homered, and Jang Doo-sung, who sprinted, settled on third base. Jang Doo-sung scored with a subsequent ground ball by Ko Seung-min.

He struck out in the fifth inning, but made another hit with no outs and no outs in the top of the seventh inning to create a chance with the first and third bases. Later, Jang Doo-sung also homered as the follow-up hitter's timely hit continued.

Lotte won 9-4, and escaped three consecutive losses. It was a valuable victory obtained while main players such as Hwang Sung-bin, Na Seung-yeop, and Yoon Dong-hee were out due to string injuries.

After the game, Jang Doo-sung said "The team was in a difficult situation because there were many injuries, but now the players were able to unite and focus more and win." We need to do better and hold on until sick players such as Na Seung-yeop, Yoon Dong-hee and Hwang Sung-bin recover and join the team"I'll try to make the team go up further with today's game."




Jang Doo-sung, who expressed his feelings about winning, added one last word. It was a word for family. Jang Doo-sung said, "Finally, I want to say thank you to my wife who always helps me at home, and thank my mother-in-law and my father-in-law for supporting me." he said.
