"It was a vague situation, but he threw it boldly well."

The team that was shaking at the end of the first half was caught by a young player from the independent league. Lotte Giants' Park Chan-hyung is the main character.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th, said, `I think the players have gained confidence that they can do well.'

"Even to me, I was anxious. There was no player to hit except Reyes Jeon Jun-woo. There were few big innings, and it was a series of close games and squeezing every game. Although the overall record is good, the coach had a lot of worries when looking at the batting order."

Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `I think our players have good energy, though. "The losing game is hopeless, but don't you score somehow, and don't you win because young players like (Park) Chan-hyung did well?" he said. "There are three to four games that are a real waste, but especially the LG-Doosan match is difficult."

The game between Doosan and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 9th, and Park Chan-hyung, with one out and runners on the first and second bases, is happy with an RBI with a lucky RBI infield hit in the bottom of the second inning. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.07.09/

He then laughed about the third place in the first half, saying "It's not even third place at the end of the season" and "It's going to get better and better." Pitchers such as Hong Min-ki and Lee Min-seok also played a big role in pitchers," he stressed.

Park Chan-hyung's two bold second base throws stood out at the top of the 11th inning of overtime the previous day, when he won after a bloody battle of 254 minutes. Leading hitter Park Joon-soon got on base with a hit, but he boldly got out of second base on the next batter Park Gye-beom's bunt. When Kang Seung-ho grounded out, he also caught a second base out at a really close time to lighten pitcher Shim Jae-min's shoulders. Lotte won the game with Lee Ho-joon's walk-off hit in the bottom of the 11th inning.

In response, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `I bunt at first, but he didn't come in. I ordered him to come in as soon as possible. So I came in, but I didn't have a good position to hold the ball. Still, he boldly threw well."

The Kang Seung-ho hit was ambiguous because he was afraid of hitting the base, and it was very tight timing to catch a runner at second base. He added, "Maybe the posture was unstable to throw to first base."

"He's good. Coach Kim Min-jae also said, "He looks better in real life, but he's right."
