Surprise replacement in 3 innings → clenched! Na Seung-yeop's poison in the first inning against the 'Blue Pea Ace'
Na Seung-yeop hit a timely RBI in the ninth inning.



He solved the disappointment of the previous day with one big shot.

Lotte Giants' Na Seung-yeop hit his second home run of the season.

Na Seung-yeop started as the fifth batter in Game 2 of the weekend series against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 20th. Na Seung-yeop, who appeared on the first and second bases with two outs in the top of the first inning, hit a three-run home run over the right fence after hitting a low changeup in the middle of Samsung starter Won Tae-in's 130km with a ball count of 1B1S.



The second season, the distance was 120 meters. Although he has a slender physique, he showed off a cool shot like Na Seung-yeop, who has been confident in his muscles built during his military days.

In particular, Na Seung-yup's presence stands out. Na Seung-yeop was suddenly replaced after finishing the third inning the previous day. Jeong Hoon, who played as a third baseman, entered the first base instead, and Choi Hang participated as a third baseman.



As a result of checking with the Lotte club, there was no special injury to Na Seung-yeop. The only problem was the sluggishness, which hit only 265 in July.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said "I was hitting too much, but I died helplessly. I took it out because I thought it would affect the defense. It's not a fighting style."



The coach's trust was still there. On this day, Na Seung-yeop also started as the fifth batter and first baseman. However, with a down payment of 500 million won, Na Seung-yeop's pride, who once knocked directly to the Major League, could not have been intact.

Na Seung-yeop hit a home run in his first at-bat and heated up Lions Park, which was full of 24,000 people.

On this day, Lotte participated in the lineup of Yoon Dong-hee (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second base), Jeon Joon-woo (left fielder), Reyes (right fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Choi Hang (third base), Son Ho-young (designated hitter), Park Seung-wook (striker), and Information-geun (catcher). The first choice is Lee In-bok.

The starter is Won Tae-in.
