Finally, it's my first professional stage start. Lotte Giants infielder Park Chan-hyung will make his first start since his KBO League debut.

Lotte Giants infielder Park Chan-hyung, born in 2002, immediately served in the military and completed his military service when he was not nominated as a professional. After playing in the independent league Yeoncheon Miracle in 2023-24 and Hwaseong Coryo in 2025, he applied for a tryout of the baseball entertainment program 'fireball' and even passed it. He joined Lotte Giants on May 15, 2025 as a nurturing player and appeared as a surprise star, setting a new record for four consecutive hits in his debut, starting with his first hit as a professional on June 19.




Park Chan-hyung was called up to the first team when Son Ho-young, the main third baseman, was injured. Starting with his first hit against Hanwha on June 19, he also set a new record for four consecutive at-bats (one home run) since his debut. On the 27th, he made two hits, one home run, two RBIs and two runs in four at-bats against KT. On the 28th, he also threw another hit as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. 5 for 7 since debut.

Park Chan-hyung is a batter with batting talent who can hit the ball, which Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also recognized. However, the batting is good, but he is still uneasy in defense. He played shortstop instead of Jeon Min-jae against KT on the 27th, but showed signs of anxiety in defense.




Lotte lost two consecutive games to KT over the weekend. He is on the verge of losing three consecutive games. Lotte is unable to set up a normal entry due to a string of key players. Senior players, who have been consistently starting, are also losing a lot of physical strength these days when the weather is getting hot.

For Lotte, Park Se-woong will start the last game of the weekend's three consecutive games against KT. KT is Cuevas. Park Chan-hyung will make his first professional start against KT right-handed pitcher Cuevas.

On the 29th, Lotte's Kim Dong-hyuk (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (right wing), Reyes (designated hitter), Jeon Joon-woo (left wing), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Park Chan-hyung (second baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Min-jae (striker), and Park Seung-wook (third baseman) are starting to try to escape the losing streak.
