Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung has been in trouble these days. He is struggling to keep his third place somehow, but his team's power is not on his mind.
In particular, the pitching staff has a wide range of starters and bullpens, but the batters are devastated by repeated injuries.
Na Seung-yup, Yoon Dong-hee and Hwang Sung-bin are absent from the main players alone, while Jang Doo-sung, who filled Hwang's gap, and Lee Ho-joon, who supported Jeon Min-jae, also left due to injury. After much consideration, Yoo Kang-nam, who is not yet in perfect condition, was registered in the first team for the purpose of reinforcing the lineup.
Head coach Kim Tae-hyung repeatedly said "I don't want to touch Ko Seung-min's position", but in the end, he is using Ko Seung-min to first base and Han Tae-yang to second base in the reality that first baseman other than veteran Jung-hoon is not good enough.

It is the first real game in 18 days since it was canceled from the first team on June 2. On this day, Na Seung-yeop had no hits, one RBI, and one walk in three at-bats. He also struck out two.
In his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, he tried to hit the first pitch, but only hit a fly ball to center field. In the bottom of the third inning, with two outs and no runners, he struck out as a rookie.
Na Seung-yeop, who appeared at the first and third bases with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, trailing 0-8, scored an RBI with a sacrifice fly. He also drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. However, he struck out three pitches in his last at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning and failed to report his first hit since returning.

It has been in a sudden slump since May. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `It's because the swing gets bigger because I'm greedy. You have to let go of your impatience"I waited. However, he showed a terrible slump with a batting average of 195 (16 hits in 82 times at bat) and an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.527 in May, and eventually went down to the second division.
To make matters worse, he was even injured after being hit in the face by a ball during defensive training in the second division. Fortunately, there was no problem with the ophthalmology, and it was only a symptom of intraocular bleeding. Still, the return schedule was delayed, such as being hospitalized.
