Ahead of the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match to be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 29th, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung rejoiced, saying, `It is no exaggeration to say that (Park) Chan-hyung won the last few days.'
Lotte is 3-1 in four games after escaping from its last 12 consecutive losses.
Park Chan-hyung went 10 for 18 from 21 at-bats in these four games, one home run, five RBIs, and four runs.
In particular, the match against KT in Busan on the 28th saved the team from the brink.
Park Chan-hyung fell behind 1-2 and became a hero in the bottom of the 10th inning of extra time. He appeared as the leadoff hitter and hit KT closer Park Young-hyun's first pitch to cross the right fence.
Lotte won the game 3-2 after leading the game to the 11th inning. Park Chan-hyung also showed off his presence in the bottom of the 11th inning with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. Later, with the bases loaded with two outs, Ko Seung-min exploded a timely hit.
Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `Park Chan-hyung continues to live as the leadoff hitter, leading to a score. The pace is the best right now. Park Chan-hyung is doing it, so (the help) is really great."
Lotte regained third place with this victory.

Park Chan-hyung hit a batting average of 399 with an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 1.036 in 30 games. His batting average in the last 10 games is hot at 0.469.
