According to the club, Son Ho-young’s hamstring has not been very good recently and he was excluded from the entry for management purposes. Son Ho-young, who had hit in 30 consecutive games, ended up with a no-hitter in the Gocheok Kiwoom game on the 21st, and was on the verge of setting the team’s record for most consecutive hits (Park Jeong-tae’s 31 games). He wore a Lotte uniform through a trade from the LG Twins earlier this year and is performing better than expected with a batting average of 0.324, 8 home runs, and 37 RBIs. However, he was a designated hitter in recent games due to hamstring pain and was forced to take a short break. Noh Jin-hyuk was promoted to the first team instead of Son Ho-young. Noh Jin-hyuk is performing poorly this year with a batting average of 0.153, 9 hits, and 4 RBIs. On this day, Lotte had Hwang Seong-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Lee Jeong-hoon (designated hitter), Jeong Hoon (third baseman), Park Seung-wook (shortstop), and Son Seong-bin.
