The two masters who made a mark in professional baseball. They once played for the Doosan Bears. They took off their respective uniforms and met again, holding the baton of a new team. Coincidentally, they are one-wooden legs.
Lotte Giants and Hanwha Eagles will play a three-game series at Sajik Stadium in Busan from the 28th.
This is the first meeting this year between Kim Tae-hyung, the Lotte Giants' manager, and Kim Kyung-moon, the Hanwha Eagles' reliever, who has been on shaky ground. They are teachers and students who always say they care and respect each other, but the world of victory cannot avoid each other.
There was also an atmosphere in which the baseball community rejected "old boys." However, the two so-called "charismatic masters" were chosen by the two teams that went head-on this year.
Coincidentally, it is a one-wooden bridge that both teams met to make a leap to the mid-range position. Lotte has achieved four consecutive wins against the Kiwoom Heroes-KIA Tigers, achieving consecutive winning series, and is gaining momentum. In June, it has 13 wins, nine losses, and one draw, ranking second in monthly performance after the Samsung Lions (14 wins, nine losses).
Hanwha has also seen its performance increase by six wins and four losses recently. As a result, the three consecutive showdowns between the Hanwha Eagles with 35 wins, 41 losses and two draws (winning rate of 0.461), the Lotte Giants with 34 wins, 40 losses and three draws (winning rate of 0.459), and the two teams ranked seventh to eighth without any wins.
The catalyst for Lotte's recent upturn is its explosive batting lineup. As for pitchers, Wilkerson (1.82 earned run average in four games) showed remarkable performance. Park Se-woong, who seemed somewhat disappointed, also struggled hard by allowing one run in six innings on Tuesday, securing a rebound point. However, Na is facing disciplinary action after suffering from the worst year, and Barnes will return around the start of the second half. The bullpen is also in the process of securing veterans again and establishing a new team to win.
On the other hand, the destructive power of the batting lineup, which ranked first in the team batting average (31.12), fifth in homers (24), first in RBIs (158), and first in OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage, 0.863) for a month in June, was beyond imagination. When Jeon Joon-woo returned, Son Ho-young and Ko Seung-min continued to be out, but Hwang Sung-bin, Na Seung-yeop, Yoon Dong-hee and Park Seung-wook are outstanding, with Reyes at the center.
In contrast, Hanwha ranked fourth (4.38) in ERA, centering on Ryu (1.80 in four games) and Barria (2.49 in four games), ahead of Lotte (5.38). Young guns such as Moon Dong-joo, who was removed from the main league after a slump, and Hwang Joon-seo, who went down to the bullpen, need to join the team. 메이저놀이터
On the other hand, younger players including Choi In-ho (34.43 percent) and Hwang Young-mook (307 percent) among those who played 40 or more at-bats for the month of June are showing strong momentum. At this time, central hitters such as Roh Si-hwan and Peraza need to make their best efforts. At the Doosan Bears match on the previous day, Noh also showed off his strong presence in front of the chairman who visited the stadium by hitting two hits and five RBIs including a home run.
It is a showdown between Kim Kyung-moon, an eagle, and Kim Tae-hyung, a seagull, and two masters who will lead the bird alliance, which is still unfamiliar. Initially, there was a rain forecast throughout the three consecutive games, which worried everyone, but it seems to be gradually easing.
