"There is weight in the batting line...."

Noh Jin-hyuk (35, Lotte Giants) hit a home run against SSG Landers on the 10th.

He played in the top of the seventh inning on a logistical basis, hit Chung Dong-yoon's fastball to hit the left fence in the bottom of the ninth inning when he was losing 0-10. Roh Jin-hyuk's first home run of the season.

Roh Jin-hyuk, who transferred from NC to Lotte before the 2023 season, has played less every year due to injuries. Again this year, injuries such as wrists continued, and he never made the first team in the first half.

Noh Jin-hyuk was called by the first team as captain Jeon Jun-woo fell out with a hamstring injury.

The batting was not bad. He had a hit against the KIA Tigers on the 6th, his first game of the season, and even his first home run on the 10th.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also welcomed Noh Jin-hyuk's performance. Lotte is the lowest among the 10 teams with a team batting average of 204 in eight games played in August. I hoped that Roh Jin-hyuk would become a new vitality.

Manager Kim said "The team is not very strong in slugging. I think it plays the role of Jeon Jun-woo. Currently, three left-handed hitters and outfielders are not good either. (Yoon) Donghee is getting better little by little"Depending on the situation, Ko Seung-min can go to the outfield." Wouldn't the batting feel as good as it does now??There should be a punch to . Roh Jin-hyuk's presence will put weight on the lineup, so I'm going to use it as first base for the time being."

Lotte's new foreign pitcher Vince Velasquez will make his debut against Daejeon Hanwha on the 13th. Tucker Davidson, who has been with him this season, has a 10-5 record with a 3.65 ERA in 22 games, but Lotte has recruited Velazquez, who can pitch more confidently. Coach Kim said, `We have to see him throw it when he comes, but the way he threw it before was better than Davis. I'm looking forward to it."

Lotte's new foreign pitcher Velazquez is playing catch while the game between SSG and Lotte, which was scheduled to be held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 9th, has been canceled due to rain. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.08.09/
