Lotte Giants' Park Chan-hyung is the main character. On May 15 this year, he was confirmed to join Lotte and wore a uniform as a nurturing player.
be quick enough to ' have one's qualifications' has been evaluated. The official player registration was decided in a month, and he was promoted to the first team on June 18.
The talent recognized in 'Fireworks' is also working on the professional stage. Above all, he is full of confidence without being intimidated. differ in the usual phrase 'temperament'
In about a month, he will cover all positions by playing eight starting games, including second base (28 ⅓ innings), third base (35 innings) and shortstop (13 innings).
What's more surprising is the batting. He hit .40 (16 hits in 40 at-bats) with five RBIs, a home run and a triple, and was given a table-setter mission with the trust of manager Kim Tae-hyung.
There is a great deal of confidence in oneself. Lee Ho-joon was the hero of the walk-off hit against the Doosan Bears in Busan on the 9th, and Shim Jae-min was the winning pitcher who protected the mound, but Park Chan-hyung was the player who led the winning process.

After that, he was silent in the third at-bat, but Park Chan-hyung's "Gut of liver" shone even more in the 11th inning of extra time when the game was decided.
Lotte, which was leading during the regular inning, used up all the must-win teams. Finishing pitcher Kim Won-joong has been unable to take the mound for two days due to shoulder pain. Veteran Shim Jae-min, who played in the first division this season, was in charge of the mound.
Doosan, on the other hand, had room in the bullpen. Kim Taek-yeon, who took the mound in five consecutive games in the ninth inning, recorded Blon, but Lee Young-ha in the 10th inning and Park Chi-guk in the 11th inning. As such, Doosan had the upper hand in psychological terms.
'Psychological superiority' refers to being relaxed without rushing. It's not something you can do if you play with a feeling of being chased hastily. On the other hand, you shouldn't believe in yourself and act confidently.
Park Chan-hyung was the lucky star. In the top of the 11th inning of extra time, Doosan's first batter, Park Joon-soon, got on base with a deep infield hit toward the shortstop. For Lotte, it was an absolute crisis.

Park Chan-hyung's judgment was swift. Without hesitation, he dashed head-on, and as soon as he caught the ball, he sprayed the ball to second base. It was not a bunt that completely killed the century, but it was difficult to see the runner's movement because it was in front of the pitcher, not the third base. First baseman Park Joon-soon also has speed.
But Park Chan-hyung had confidence. Even the throw was fast, strong and accurate. As it was, it was a perfect defense that almost killed the front runner out and the batter Park Gye-beom.
The next batter, Kang Seung-ho, is a grounder towards third base. It was not particularly fast, and the handling of the bound was ambiguous because it was a missed ball. The defender's step was not easy because it was just in front of the third base.

After the game, Park Chan-hyung said, `The first bunt defense situation could be caught on a one-bound basis, so there was an instant judgment that we should play second base. In the process of catching the ball, (Son) Sung-bin's call to second base also helped the game to be bold. I think my body was able to react because I heard advice while training bunt with coach Moon Kyu-hyun before the game"I looked back.
Then "In the second batting defense, it was a tie in overtime, so I strongly thought that I should not send a runner to the scoring position." When I caught the ball, the first baseman was about three-quarters away and I thought I could catch it enough"He showed clear pride in his defense, throwing, and calculation.
In the end, Lotte kept the top of the 11th inning without losing a point, and won the game with a hit by a second-year rookie Lee Ho-joon in the bottom of the 11th inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases.
