Lotte Giants' Jeon Min-jae (26) has returned to the first-team entry.

Lotte registered infielder Jeon Min-jae in the first division entry ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th. At the same time, infielder Park Seung-wook was excluded from the first-team entry.

Jeon Min-jae transferred from Doosan Bears to Lotte in a trade ahead of this season. Lotte sent fielder Kim Min-seok, Choo Jae-hyun and pitcher Choi Woo-in to Doosan, and received Jeon Min-jae and pitcher Jung Cheol-wol.




Jeon Min-jae, who joined Doosan in the second round of the rookie draft (40th overall) in 2018, gained experience by playing in 100 games last year.

Jeon Min-jae, who served as a backup, started showing off his talent after moving to Lotte. Both batting and defense blossomed. In 73 games in the first half of the year, he hit .34 with three home runs and became a 'trade blessing'.

It was almost a season to be reborn as a main player, but the injury was hampered. At the end of April, he was hit by a ball in the head, and on the 21st of last month, he was excluded from the entry due to fine damage to his internal oblique muscles.

Lotte was injured in the second half. Jeon Min-jae, captain Jeon Jun-woo, and catcher Yoo Kang-nam left. Jeon Joon-woo suffered wrist pain after a hamstring injury, and Yoo Kang-nam had difficulty in both offense and defense due to foul balls. In the midst of this, Jeon Min-jae is the first to return.

After going through a recovery period, Jeon Min-jae improved his sense of practice through the Futures game at Sangdong Stadium on the 9th. He entered the fifth at-bat and drew a single hit and a walk. He proved that there was nothing wrong with his physical condition while playing defense. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also decided to call up. Director Kim said "I'm in good shape. I posted it because there was nothing special about it."

Jeon Min-jae, who was registered in the first team, was immediately listed in the starting lineup as the eighth hitter and shortstop. Lotte will be a strong supporter. Lotte lost four consecutive games on the 9th when it lost against Hanwha. The 50% winning rate collapsed, and it was 1.5 games apart from KT in fifth place. There is a busy road to go.




Lotte formed the starting lineup in the order of Han Tae-yang (second baseman), Ko Seung-min (right fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (center fielder), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Kim Min-sung (designated hitter), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Min-jae (striker), and Son Sung-bin (catcher). The starting pitcher is Alec Gamboa. Coach Kim said, `We deployed a lot of right-handed hitters considering the opponent's selection (Ryu Hyun-jin)."
