Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung does not talk too much. It's like a cold city guy. It was the same when explaining the return of center hitter Yoon Dong-hee.
But it looks like it's just what it looks like. When Yoon Dong-hee performed very well, head coach Kim Tae-hyung could not hide his happy expression.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung adjusted his entry for the first team ahead of the match against Doosan Bears in Busan on the 30th. I called up Yoon Dong-hee and canceled Han Seung-hyun. Coach Kim Tae-hyung briefly said, `It's on the date, so I raised it.'
Yoon Dong-hee went down to the second division on the 20th. It was because of a hitting slump. I filled 10 days and came up right away. Just before the call-up, he had hits in three consecutive Futures League games. It definitely revived the sense of hitting.
Yoon Dong-hee was immediately put on the starting list. He was the sixth batter and center fielder. He swung two hits, one homer, four RBIs and a fire bat in four at-bats. He raised his on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) to 0.799 with a season batting average of 281.
Yoon Dong-hee showed his presence from his first at-bat. Lotte started heavy after giving two runs from the top of the first inning. In the bottom of the first inning, there was a chance to load the bases with one out. Yoo Kang-nam recovered one point with a sacrifice fly.
Yoon Dong-hee exploded a sweeping double to left-center with two outs and runners on first and second bases. 3-2 come from behind.
The game was up and down on the day. Lotte turned it over 3-2 and turned it around 3-5, then turned it around again 6-5, but it was a chaotic situation that turned over again 6-7.

Yoon Dong-hee turned around the ground and came into the dugout. Director Kim Tae-hyung greeted at the front. Yoon Dong-hee hit a powerful high-five. Director Kim Tae-hyung's mouth opened wide. Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who has a good physique, even stumbled.
Unfortunately, Yun Dong-hee did not become the main character of the game. Doosan tied the game. After 11 extra innings, it ended in an 8-8 draw.
Yoon Dong-hee's performance faded without being linked to the team's victory. However, it is expected to be a great help to Lotte's ranking fight for the rest of the season.
