"Oh, this is a really deep-rooted order..."

The 39-year-old captain will take the leadoff. Lotte Giants' No. 1 hitter position is full of worries.

Lotte will play its eighth game of the season against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 26th.

On the same day, Lotte will play in the lineup of Jeon Joon-woo (left fielder), Jung Hoon (designated hitter), Ko Seung-min (first base), Reyes (right fielder), Kim Min-sung (third base), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Jeon Min-jae (striker), Han Seung-hyun (middle fielder), and Han Tae-yang (second base). The first choice is A.C.E. Gamboa.

Kim Dong-hyuk has been in charge of leadoff positions where Hwang Sung-bin and Jang Doo-sung were missing due to injuries one after another. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said "Kim Dong-hyuk is still a little disappointed in hitting." I need to know how to let go of the bat, but I hold it so tightly that I only think about turning it. Then, the moment I saw the ball, my body was already leaning forward. "I wanted to give the youngest (Han Seung-hyun) a chance to play.", he explained.

Shortstop Jeon Min-jae is next. However, physical consideration is needed to play the main shortstop in the full season for the first time this season. In the end, after much consideration, he explained that he created a table setter for Jeon Jun-woo and Jung-hoon.

A game between Samsung and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 20th, and Lotte Information-geun, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, cheers after hitting a two-run double in the bottom of the second inning. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.06.20/

Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `We need to give Jeon Min-jae a break, but even if he goes out, it will be very difficult to start another player,' but added, `It is true that it is difficult to replace him because there are many games that are tight every game and follow even after losing.'

'8 Billion Catcher'Yugangnam-do wears a main mask for the first time in a long time. Head coach Kim Tae-hyung added Yoo Kang-nam because he said, `Today's starting pitcher is going to be easy. Information-geun has a bad knee, and he was hit by a lot of balls yesterday", he explained.

In particular, Park Jae-yeop and Yoo Kang-nam were also seen warming up by playing catch in the fifth inning when Information Geun was in pain. Head coach Kim Tae-hyung replied, `If it had been replaced, Park Jae-yeop would have been released, and Yoo Kang-nam would have been on standby as a pinch hitter in the second half.'
