The batting average of 0.154 Lotte's batting average is shaking...I couldn't touch the coach's sighing ball.

"There are players who have to do their part...It's so out of sync."

The series winning, which had been continuing in a good mood, was cut off. Now we have to look further up in earnest, but the strength of the lineup is not the same as before.

The Lotte Giants will play the SSG Landers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th.




Lotte lost to the KIA Tigers the previous day by 5-6 and one point. Starting Lee Min-seok was shaken greatly, and in the bottom of the eighth inning, the fastest Jang Doo-sung in the league was out on KIA Na Sung-bum's explosive home pitch, missing the tail of the chase.

The first words of Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game on the day, were lamentations that `the bat suddenly doesn't fit very well.'

"The scene of scoring five points in one inning was good against KIA the previous day, but he was too bad against Yang Hyeon-jong. Even though the ball speed was a little lower than before, he sighed, saying, "The pitcher with a very good command."

Among them, Ko Seung-min and Yoon Dong-hee, who have been the backbone of the lineup along with Reyes and Jeon Jun-woo, have been in serious slump recently. Ko Seung-min's batting average in the last 10 games is only 179, while Yoon Dong-hee is only 154 (4 hits in 26 at-bats). Son Ho-young's fire bat immediately after the first-team call-up was rarely displayed against KIA.

If so, we need a player who can act as a turning point. Veteran Roh Jin-hyuk did his part in the match against KIA on the 6th with one hit and one walk, including a timely hit, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning in the previous day's game and struck out in vain. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `It's a ball in the middle, but I'm sorry I missed it. On the defense side, he expects to play the role of first baseman (along with Na Seung-yeop and Jung Hoon)", he explained. If Jung Hoon is a right-handed pinch hitter and first baseman, Roh Jin-hyuk is expected to play the role of a left-handed pinch hitter and first baseman.

Still, Han Tae-yang overcame the difficulties at the beginning of the game and activated his first home run to revitalize the lineup. Director Kim Tae-hyung said, `I'm a type of person who quietly does what I have to do. It's good to hit a real pitch well, but the ability to follow the ball is still unfortunate. There are still too many strikeouts. I think it will get better with experience. "
