It was literally 'SuperCatch'. A shot that saved the shoulder of the finishing who was suffering from repeated failures. It was a decisive scene that made the head coach laugh out loud while watching the game nervously.
Choi Hang (30) of the Lotte Giants is the main character. Choi Hang saved his team with a miraculous jump catch on Kwon Hee-dong's hit on the left-handed line with the bases loaded with one out in the top of the ninth inning against the Busan NC Dinos on the 6th.
Lotte 'Long Hair Finishing' Kim Won-joong took the mound from a 6-5 one-run gap, causing a one-out full base crisis with consecutive hits and wild pitches. The nightmare of losing its presence due to the failure to finish the last five consecutive games seemed to come back to mind.
However, Choi Hang pulled up one out count like a thousand gold, and Kim Hwi-jip was grounded out to shortstop to end the game. He was thrilled to add a save for the first time in 39 days since the match against the Hanwha Eagles on June 28.

He's having an Altoran-like year on the team that recognized his worth. His batting average of 244 with 12 RBIs and OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.585 is not very good. However, as Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung vowed at the time of recruitment, he diversified the pool of players, while showing a strong presence in offense and defense when needed.
Choi Hang, who met after the game, was full of smiles. He was put in as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he did not live up to expectations at bat. Instead, he made 'one' in defense in the top of the ninth inning.
"NC players hit the third base a lot. I was preparing for one, believing that it would comeChoi Hang's expression, which said, "The record of his 13th year of professional career was seen.
It was a ball that was bent over the third base line as the ball took a rotation. Choi Hang "I prepared by drawing various situations in my head. Still, it never comes as I thought. You have to be prepared all the time," he said with a smile.
From Choi Hang's point of view, the ball is passing like a bullet. However, at the moment, the flying ball looked like 's slow motion'.

Choi Hang got a pretty daughter on the 5th, the previous day. Kim Won-joong, who made a save like a gem in a long time, believed that "(Choi) Hang-yi would catch her unconditionally because she had a daughter born and had good energy," he said with a big smile. Lotte has recently given birth to Koo Seung-min and Choi Hang in succession, giving the team a good flow.
Choi Hang also feels like her daughter's gift from the spotlight she received for the first time in a long time. When I asked for a photo pose, a good smile filled my face. I asked for a word from my daughter.
"I hope you don't fall into a bad way." Let's go the right way. Let's walk with Dad's hand!"
