Hwang Seong-bin (26) of the Lotte Giants laid the foundation for a reversal of the atmosphere with a play full of fighting spirit until just before the injury replacement.카지노사이트
Hwang Seong-bin started as the 8th hitter center fielder in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ Doosan Bears game held at Ulsan Munsu Baseball Stadium on the 2nd. It was the first opportunity to start in four games since the match against Sajik Samsung Lions on the 27th of last month. Lotte coach Larry Sutton expected Hwang Seong-bin to radiate the same energy that he usually emits on the ground and energize the entire team.
At the end of the 5th inning when Lotte was trailing 0-2, Seongbin Hwang announced the start of the chase. Jeon Jun-woo, the lead hitter, went to base with a left-handed hit, but Park Seung-wook and Han Dong-hee could not hit the follow-up hit, so Jeon Jun-woo was tied to first base even after two outs. At this time, Hwang Seong-bin complained of extreme pain after being hit in the right shin by the second foul hit on the ball count 0-1. He had to lie on his back for a while and endure the pain.
Still, he didn’t put down the bat. Then, runner Jeon Jun-woo at first base also boldly attempted to steal second base. The initial decision was an out, but as a result of video reading, it was read that Jeon Jun-woo’s foot touched second base first, and it was overturned to a safe. It was the moment Hwang Seong-bin changed to second base in a situation where the inning almost ended in the middle of the at-bat.

Seongbin Hwang did not miss this golden opportunity. Opponent ace Raul Alcantara threw two more balls in a row to get a full count, probably because he was shaken by the changed decision. Hwang Seong-bin hit the slider on the 6th pitch and hit the ball at the right time. It was a moment that perfectly raised the dugout atmosphere while chasing 2-1.
Although he opened the beginning of the pursuit, it was difficult to hold on to the ground any longer. As soon as Hwang Seong-bin stepped on first base, he was immediately replaced by runner Kim Min-seok.
An official from Lotte explained, “I was hit by a foul ball on the right shin, so I replaced it to protect the player. We will not go to the hospital.” This means it is not a serious injury.
Hwang Seong-bin stepped down, but seemed to have left good energy in Lotte. At the end of the 6th inning, Lotte succeeded in balancing the score 2-2 with Jack Rex’s heavy hit at second base. However, Koo Seung-min, who took the mound in the top of the 8th inning, allowed Doosan giant Yang Seok-hwan to run a two-run gun in left midfield, losing 2-4 and bowing his head.
