Jeon Jun-woo started as a designated hitter in the home game against the LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 3rd and scored two RBIs and two runs in four at-bats, leading his team to a 5-2 victory.




He hit a cool shot in the bottom of the fourth inning when the score was 0-0. After one out, No. 3 Reyes got on base with a left-handed hit, he hit a two-run shot from LG starter Lim Chan-kyu to left-center. In the ball count 1B1S, when the changeup of 127km for the third pitch was concentrated in the middle, he made it a home run. It was his seventh home run this season and his 220th career home run.

Jeon Jun-woo was sluggish at the beginning of the season, but he is doing better and better as the day gets hotter. Jeon Jun-woo, who had a batting average of 266 (29 hits in 109 at-bats) until April, failed to meet expectations, posted a batting average of 333 (30 hits in 99 at-bats) in May, and improved to 322 (28 hits in 87 at-bats) in June. Why I'm looking forward to July more.

After the game, Jeon Jun-woo said, "Everyone in the squad knew that there was a game against the teams that were attached to the top of the all-star break, and that it was an important series. In particular, the game against LG was not always easy, so it seems that the part of trying not to miss the actual pitching in the opponent's selection led to good resultsI think the part where hitters, including "(Kim) Min-sung, entered the batter's box intensively, could have brought the victory. In a situation where there are many injuries, veterans such as Jung-hoon and Min-sung were able to maintain the team's ranking well because they cheered up," he said, thanking his veteran colleagues.

Lotte is approaching autumn baseball for the first time in eight years since it reached the semi-playoff in 2017 as the third place. And now, there is only two games difference from the No. 1 Hanwha Eagles. It is a position where you can look not only at fall baseball but also higher.

Jeon Jun-woo said, "I will do my best to build as many wins as possible in the remaining games until the All-Star game."is determined.
