Lower the "Sungdam"...Yoon Na-na and Hwang-son are flying

One of the main reasons Lotte did not have a good performance in the 2024 season is its shallow playing field. Young players, including Yoon Dong-hee, Na Seung-yeop, Ko Seung-min, Hwang Sung-bin and Son Ho-young, who are called "Yoon Na-go Hwang-son," did not have much experience. On top of that, there were no replacements enough for the departure of one injured player to directly affect the team's performance.
In the 2024 season, Lotte ranked second after KIA (0.301) with a team batting average of 0.285 but ranked eighth with 125 home runs.스포츠토토
Lotte restored the fence in the outfield, which had been raised to 6 meters, to 5 meters. Upon hearing the news that the fence had been lowered, players were confident that the number of home runs would increase. Son Ho-young said, "I will try 20 home runs," and Yoon Dong-hee said, "If I can hit it, I will hit it."
With Victor Reyes and captain Jeon Joon-woo, who recorded the most hits in a season, in the lineup together, if they show off their mid- to long-distance appearance, they can bring back memories of Lotte's central lineup, which was called "Hong Dae-gal" in the past.
The key to the mound is the revival of starting pitcher Park Se-woong. Having recorded six wins and 11 losses in 30 games last year, Park scored 12 runs (ten earned runs) and 2.78 ERA in 32.1 innings in five games in September. If he achieves 10 wins in three years since 2022, the mound will regain stability.
In the bullpen, expectations are high for the performance of free agent duo Koo Seung-min and Kim Won-joong.
Koo Seung-min and Kim Won-joong gladly stamped their seal on staying at Lotte in the stove league last winter. If Koo Seung-min, who had only 13 holds last year, makes more than 20 holds and Kim Won-joong makes 30 saves following the 2023 season, Lotte's back door is no longer unstable.
Lotte ranked second with 123 team errors last year. We believe that leadership of the coaching staff who are good at defense, including head coach Cho Won-woo and bench coach Kim Min-jae, will make up for this.
