The Lotte Giants lost 1-3 in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League NC Dinos held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 24th in the 5th game of the season ‘Nakdong River Derby’. Lotte, which was running 4 consecutive victories in this year’s ‘Nakdong River Derby’, was put on the brakes.
Lotte, which finished April as ‘exclusive 1st place’, is continuing a good trend in May. As of the start of the game on the 24th, the win rate of 9 wins and 6 losses is 0.600, and it is also in the top 3 in May. However, Lotte, who is popular, is not without worries at all. It’s a team batting average that has stagnated. The batting average, which was good at 0.262 (3rd in the league) in April, fell to 0.243 (7th) in May.
Lotte made a big change to the entry prior to the game on the 23rd due to repeated stagnation in the batting line. It was a call-up of Ryan Long, who served as the hitting coach for the first team until the year before last. Coach Larry Sutton said, “There are injured players, players who are tired from playing a lot of games, and players who are in poor condition, so the overall team batting cycle is falling.” “he said.
Of course, even if the coach of the batting part in the 2nd team joins the 1st team, it is not easy to improve the pace in an instant, but it was clear that Lotte was looking for various ways to revitalize the battered line. However, on the 24th, the Lotte batting line was silent again. Considering that there were 10 left bases by the end of the 6th attack, it was not a game that could not be won.
At the end of the first inning, trailing 0-1, Lotte took a chance with two outs loaded with Han Dong-hee’s hit, An Chi-hong’s walk, and Yoon Dong-hee’s infield hit. Here, Kuk Hae-seong, who recently wore a Lotte uniform, failed to take advantage of his first opportunity as a well-hit hit led to a floating ball in center field. And in a situation where there were no runners out in the third inning, Jeon Jun-woo’s hit and An Chi-hong’s walk gave him another chance to score, but this time it was scoreless as Yoon Dong-hee withdrew with a floating ball in left field.
Even in the situation where the possibility of scoring was the highest, there was no ‘fixer’. At the end of the 4th inning, after Kook Hae-seong and Kim Min-soo got a series of walks, Lotte took a chance on 1 out, 2nd and 3rd base with Ji Ji-wan’s successful sacrifice bunt. In order to somehow score points, Lotte made a winning move by using Noh Jin-hyeok as a pinch hitter instead of Lee Hak-joo. However, Noh Jin-hyuk and Kim Min-seok’s bats did not hit the right time.
Lotte, who missed several chances to score, scored with difficulty only in the attack at the end of the 5th inning. In the bottom of the 5th inning, Jeon Jun-woo hit a triple to the right of the center fielder, and An Chi-hong made up for one point with a shortstop grounder at 1st and 3rd base. However, Lotte’s scoring stopped here. Lotte failed to score an additional point until the end of the game, such as lowering its head in the 6th inning with a chance of 1 company and 2nd base.
Lotte’s team batting average in May was not good at 0.243, but the team scoring position batting average was still excellent at 0.281 (2nd place). However, in the game on the 24th, there were no solvers in numerous chances. Lotte left 11 bases and regrets.
