It's unusual. Lotte Giants center hitter Jeon Jun-woo injured his hamstring.

Jeon Joon-woo started the game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 5th as the sixth designated hitter and was replaced by an injury after just one at-bat. In the bottom of the first inning, he hit a ground ball to the first base in the first at-bat with two outs and a full base, and ran all out to live somehow, but he had a problem with his left hamstring.

Jeon Jun-woo complained of severe pain. I was able to walk on my own, but I limped off the ground.




A Lotte official said, `Jeon Jun-woo is currently suffering from pain in his left hamstring. After watching the progress, we will decide whether to have a hospital examination or not," he said.

Jeon Jun-woo looked limp and uncomfortable to walk when he left work after the game. It will not be easy to play right now. Hamstrings are an injury site with a very high risk of recurrence, and once injured, you should get enough rest. If the hamstring is damaged, a long-term departure is inevitable. For now, Lotte decided to watch the progress.

Jeon Jun-woo is the core of Lotte's offense. In 104 games this year, he hit .288 (108 hits in 375 at-bats), seven home runs, 64 RBIs and an OPS of 0.783 to show his veteran strength. He is the second most RBI solver in the team after Victor Reyes (80 RBIs). Third place Na Seung-yeop has 38 RBIs, which makes a big difference.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung was worried about the overall drop in hitting pace before the game. In the second half of the year, as the mound has risen, it has maintained a stable third place, because if the lineup does not continue to explode, there is no idea when the crisis will come again.

Coach Kim said, `The hitting pace is not that good right now. From the manager's point of view, there should be something that can overcome a pitcher with good pitching, but the hitting pace is not very good."

Lotte's batters were completely defeated by KIA 0-2 with Jeon Jun-woo leaving early on the day. He failed to score points as he only produced three hits in a short period of time. Sung Young-tak and Han Jae-seung, who took the mound in relief in the 7th and 8th innings, were young pitchers who lacked experience in must-win pitching, although they were pressed by KIA starter James Nail's six scoreless perfect pitching. Nevertheless, Lotte's batters failed to target them at all and bowed their heads. For Lotte, it was a situation in which I desperately thought that `if there was Jeon Jun-woo.'




Will Jeon Jun-woo be able to return to the ground soon. Attention is focusing on Jeon Jun-woo's recovery period.
