"Like fate, the last ball went to Jeon Min-jae."
Like the exclamation of the broadcasting crew, I tasted the waves of life that fluctuated every day like a bird. Lotte Giants 'Lucky' Jeon Min-jae is the main character.
Jeon Min-jae literally went between heaven and hell in Game 3 of the Weekday Series against the Hanwha Eagles at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 19th. He had three hits in a long time and was very active, but he almost became the one who lost the team.
He has been showing signs of his physical strength recently. He played his first 100 games in seven years as a professional last year.
This year, he played 397 innings at shortstop in the first half of the year, surpassing the shortstop's defensive innings (395 innings) last year. There are only 58 games now, but the total defensive innings is only 40 innings apart. It takes more than a week. It's the first time in my life that I've ever experienced a physical load. Even the position is shortstop. It's natural to put your energy into it.
Once hitting a .400 batting average, it has now fallen to the .330 range. In particular, the batting average hovered around 20% in June. Following Hwang Sung-bin, Jang Doo-sung was also used as a leadoff as he was injured, but soon came down to the lower batting line.

And he repaid the coach's consideration for the first time in a long time. He hit an RBI timely hit in his first at-bat in the second inning, and appeared as a leadoff hitter in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively, and got on base with hits. In particular, the on-base in the seventh inning was a valuable moment that led to two netting points.
However, the error in the eighth inning almost blew everything. It was Lotte that Choi Jun-yong took the mound following Jeong Cheol-won these days and began to solidify his victory. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, he induced Noh Si-hwan to hit a ground ball to shortstop, but Jeon Min-jae's throw to the second base fell to the side, leading to two runs in an instant. Choi Jun-yong, who was shaken at the moment, even allowed Chae Eun-sung to make a timely RBI, and was quickly chased by a one-run gap.
Fortunately, Choi Jun-yong cut off the follow-up hit well, and changed catcher Information Geun took a breather by blocking Hanwha Kim Tae-yeon's steal to second base. Closer Kim Won-joong allowed a heavy hit to leadoff hitter Lee Jae-won, and he became nervous until the end with a sacrifice bunt, with one out and second base, but there were no additional runs.

In particular, Ahn Chi-hong's grounder rolled in front of Jeon Min-jae, and Jeon Min-jae calmly handled it well and finished the game. The broadcaster laughed, saying, `As if it were fate, the last ball went to Jeon Min-jae.' Fortunately, it ended with a 'happy ending' for Jeon Min-jae, the person in charge, but I'm worried about the frequent mistakes in recent years. It's already the eighth time this season, and it's a day when Bok-dong's chest won't be comfortable.
