Another "long-term backup" player is showing the momentum to leap to the main player. Lotte Giants Junghoon Lee (28) is the main character.

 

This season, Lotte gained momentum with players who did not have much experience in the first division showing their potential. Outfielder Ahn Kwon-soo, who was released from the Doosan Bears, has established himself as a leadoff hitter, and Yoon Dong-hee, a second-year outfielder who played only four games (based on the first division) in the 2022 season, has also become the main player.

 

In July, he fell from fourth to seventh with the lowest winning rate (0.294·5 wins and 12 losses) among the 10 clubs, but Jung Bo-geun, a former backup catcher, showed a "surprise" performance with a batting average of 50% (0.529) in 15 games he played in August.

 

The player who took over Jung Bo-geun's baton is Junghoon Lee. He is showing a strong batting sense with a batting average of 0.438 (21 hits in 48 at-bats) in 18 games he played in August.

 

Junghoon Lee also led the team's attack by making meaningful results for each at-bat in the match against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 20th, when Lotte lost 6-7. After hitting a hit after two outs in the top of the first inning, he scored the first run with a follow-up batter double. In the second inning, he brought runners on the second and third bases home with a right-center hit in a two-out full base opportunity. Junghoon Lee added one more hit in the fourth inning. 3 for 5 in this game. For the third time in August, he had three hits in a game.

 

The 2023 KBO League match between Lotte Giants and Kiwoom Heroes was held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the afternoon of the 20th. Lotte Junghoon Lee is delighted after hitting a left-handed hit in the first inning. 

 

Junghoon Lee was nominated for the KIA Tigers in the 10th round (94th) in the 2017 2nd rookie draft. He, whose position was a catcher, played only 61 games in six seasons (2017-2022) for KIA. After the end of last season (2022), he was notified that he could not renew his contract.

 

Lotte's general manager Sung Min-kyu asked Park Heung-sik, the current batting coach who coached the Junghoon Lee when he was the manager of the KIA Futures team, for his opinion and immediately took the recruitment process when a good evaluation came out. 스포츠토토

 

Junghoon Lee, who wore the Lotte uniform, changed from a catcher to an outfielder to save his hit. He was called up to the first division in mid-July after being evaluated as being able to play outfield defense in the actual game. He mainly played as a left-handed pinch hitter and got a chance to be a designated hitter (DH), and even became the starting outfielder (left fielder) for the first time in the match against the Busan NC Dinos on the 2nd. Lotte manager Larry Sutton said, "Currently, Ahn Kwon-soo, Yoon Dong-hee, and Kim Min-seok are mainly in the outfield, but Junghoon Lees will also be able to receive more (playout) opportunities."

 

Lotte has won three Winning Series (more than two wins) in four consecutive games since the second week of August. Junghoon Lee is revitalizing Lotte, which is seeking to make another leap forward.

 

Will Oh Seung-hwan (41), a closer representing the KBO League and the Samsung Lions, be able to achieve his first 400 saves in KBO this season.

 

Oh Seung-hwan's pace this season was different from the previous year. Although Blonsave was only in the fourth inning, the number of runs increased, and the pitch was not as good as in previous years, giving a 2% disappointment. He has a 4.37 ERA this season. It is the worst since the 2009 season (4.83) and the 2010 season (4.50).

 

On May 3, he had his first start in his debut and went down to the second division twice, having a difficult first half. He once gave up the finish to left-hander Lee Seung-hyun. Oh Seung-hwan's performance in the first half of the year was 2 wins, 3 losses, 10 saves, and 2 holds with a 4.80 ERA in 26 games.

 

However, with the start of the second half and the rebound of the team, Oh Seung-hwan is gradually recovering. He played in 16 games in the second half, recording one win, one loss, 10 saves, and a 3.52 ERA. He had already made 10 saves in the second half. The hit rate, which was close to 30% in the first half, fell to the early 20% range in the second half. He made seven saves in August alone.

 

Oh Seung-hwan set a record of 390 saves for the first time in KBO and 20 saves for three consecutive years against the KIA Tigers at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 20th. In other words, KBO's first 400 saves are now only 10 saves left. The 30 saves, which felt far away in the first half of the year when they had a difficult time, are being caught in front of them little by little by little. Oh has made more than 30 saves seven times so far. 스포츠토토

 

Even before the opening of this season, Oh Seung-hwan expressed his desire to achieve 400 saves. During training in Okinawa, Japan, Oh Seung-hwan said, "I've always been quiet about my personal performance, but I want to make 400 saves as soon as possible this time." "I want to change the record," he said. "If other players aim for my record, I think there will be a better pitcher on the bullpen side." In the past, few players played long runs as a closer and bullpen. I was also able to grow into a professional closer by meeting director Sun Dong-yeol. I didn't think, 'I should make a few saves.' "These days, there are many articles, and amateur and young players are setting goals, so I'm trying to work harder first," he said.

 

Oh Seung-hwan is an indispensable player in KBO's finishing history. On April 27, 2005, he recorded his first save against the LG Twins at Daegu Civic Stadium. In the second year of the 2006 season, he recorded 47 saves, the most in a KBO season. So far, he has recorded 47 saves twice (2006, 2011), and has recorded more than 40 saves four times (47 saves in 2006, 40 saves in 2007, 47 saves in 2011 and 44 saves in 2021.

 

On September 18, 2007, he achieved 100 saves (180 games) in Gwangju KIA Tigers, and on August 12, 2011, he recorded 334 games in Daegu KIA Tigers, and the youngest KBO 200 saves in history at the age of 29 years and 28 days. On April 25, 2021, he achieved 300 KBO saves against KIA in Gwangju. Coincidentally, 100 saves, 200 saves, and 300 saves were all against KIA. From 2006 to 2008, 2011 to 2012, he won a total of six No. 1 saves titles.

 

On June 6, he set a historic record of 500 saves in his career between South Korea, the U.S., and Japan against the NC Dinos in Daegu. Will Oh Seung-hwan be able to make another history before the end of this season. Samsung's remaining games this season are 38 games away. As Samsung's recent flow is good, it is worth looking forward to Oh Seung-hwan's record challenge.

The match between KIA and Lotte was held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 13th. Lotte won 6-1. The players are having a ceremony.

 

The two main teams of the Nakdonggang River Derby, the NC Dinos and the Lotte Giants, will mark the week of fate.

 

It will play six consecutive games against strong teams on the road to solidifying fourth place and entering the semifinals.

 

NC, ranked fourth, is ahead of Doosan, ranked fifth, by 2.5 games with 52 wins, 2 draws and 48 losses in 102 games. To put it bluntly, this is the result of Doosan's recent decline. NC will play three consecutive games during the week in SSG and Incheon, and then move to Changwon to play three consecutive games over the weekend against the leading LG.

 

Lee Jae-hak is expected to return to Choi Sung-young and Shin Min-hyuk. Pedi tenor will be deployed to play a game without concessions against leading LG.

 

Lee Jae-hak's return is expected to be a great help. The lineup, which scored double-digit points in two of the last three games, is a big boost.

 

The 2023 KBO League game between the Doosan Bears and the NC Dinos was held at Jamsil Stadium on the 19th. NC Pedi is struggling.

 

It is a week of fate for Lotte to advance to the semifinals.

 

After playing three consecutive games during the week with the leading LG in Jamsil, he will move to Busan and play three consecutive games against second-place KT on weekends.

 

Starting with Wilkerson on the 22nd, all the aces such as Barnes, Na Kyun-an, and Park Se-woong will participate.

 

Lotte, which revived its hopes for the semifinals with four consecutive wins, suffered a sweep defeat to Kiwoom, the lowest-ranked team, over the weekend and was put on a sudden brake.

 

However, there is still hope amid the sluggishness of the fifth-ranked group. It's only 1.5 games away from fifth place.

 

As they suffered an unexpected losing streak to Kiwoom, they can revive the spark of the fifth round if they cause a stir against the first and second-place teams LG and KT.

 

The LG-SSG match was held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 19th. LG won 11-2. The players are celebrating their victory.

 

It is also an important week for the first and second-place teams. 스포츠토토

 

Leading LG must easily overcome the six consecutive games between Lotte and NC, which will be a sketchy decision.

 

The second-place KT will meet Lotte on the road after KIA, which is at the crossroads of entering the semifinals. SSG, which fell to third place, will play three consecutive games against Doosan, which has recently been turned on amid a slump, following the NC match during the week.
