He made a fatal mistake in the match, but the trust of the head coach is strong.
The Lotte Giants will play the second game of the weekend series against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 26th.
Lotte will play as a lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (first base), Son Ho-young (third base), Reyes (left wing), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Han Tae-yang (second base), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher) and Park Seung-wook (striker). The first choice is Lee Min-seok.
Jeon Jun-woo was absent from the clean-up for the first time in a long time. He will start batting more comfortably in the sixth designated hitter.
Instead, it is notable that Son Ho-young, who has a good batting sense recently, was placed in No. 3 and Yoon Dong-hee in No. 5, forming a clean-up with No. 4 Reyes.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said, `Han Tae-yang has had good hitting power since the spring camp. It was good to see him overcome without missing a real pitch and not being pushed by the power of the real pitch. These days, I think I've gained some confidence to follow breaking balls."
As for Jeon Jun-woo, he said, `It was good once, but the pace is not good these days. I got down (to No. 6). I expect you to hit me from behind. Also, Son Ho-young and Yoon Dong-hee are getting along well these days.
Hwang Sung-bin, who made a critical error in the top of the seventh inning with a 5-3 lead the previous day and provided an excuse for one run, will start as the leadoff center fielder. Lotte's starter Davison barely filled the fifth inning, and Jung Chul-won in the sixth and Choi Jun-yong in the seventh inning made all-out pitching on the mound.

In the process, Choi Joon-yong was shaken by Hwang Sung-bin's error in missing Park Chan-ho's fly ball to center field after one out, and allowed the bases loaded with one out. Here, the choice of putting Hong Min-ki in one beat quickly was effective. Hong Min-ki extinguished the fire with a minimum number of runs with Choi Hyung-woo's sacrifice fly to center field and Na Sung-beom's strikeout, and made a decisive contribution to the victory by blocking it well until the eighth inning.
On Hong Min-ki's timing, Kim Tae-hyung said, `We had to put out the lights first. Earlier, I thought about dragging Jeong Cheol-won a little more, but I decided that it would be better to cut him off when it was good. It's a pity that the error came out, but the pitcher has to be prevented, and Joon-yong didn't go well. Fortunately, Min Gi cut it off well," he sighed.
