At the beginning of the season, Lotte Giants seem to be ahead in calculating the profits and losses of the "extra-large trade" with Doosan Bears. On the same day, the joys and sorrows between the two trade main cards were completely mixed.토토사이트

In November last year, Lotte and Doosan made a two-to-three trade in which they exchanged key resources of their respective teams. Lotte gave away outfielders Kim Min-seok, Choo Jae-hyun and pitcher Choi Woo-in, while Doosan gave away infielder Jeon Min-jae and bullpen pitcher Jeong Cheol-won in return for benefits.

Throughout the spring camp and exhibition games, the spirit of the trade seemed to be leaning toward Doosan. Kim Min-seok, who suffered an extremely sluggish performance last year, showed off his batting performance starting from the practice game of the spring camp, and displayed stellar performance in exhibition games with a batting average of 0.333 (10 hits in 30 at-bats), four RBIs, four runs and one stolen base. Kim, who was selected as Doosan's leadoff this year by overcoming Jung Soo-bin, made a good start by reporting two hits and one walk from the opening game.

However, the hot bat suddenly began to cool down. He only added one hit each in the games on the 23rd and 25th, and after his first at-bat hit against KT Wiz on the 26th, he fell into a silence of no hits in 15 times at bat until the game against Kiwoom on the 2nd. There has also been no walk on base since the opening game, and he has struck out 11 at-bats to rise to No. 1 in the league.

In the end, Doosan eliminated Kim from the first-team roster ahead of Tuesday's game. He believed it would be better to find a sense of hitting in the Futures League than to insist on playing in the first-team league amid shaky batting balance.

On the other hand, Jung Cheol-won, who was the main card of the trade along with Kim Min-seok, won his fourth hold of the season on the same day, rising to No. 1 in the hold category.

Jeong Cheol-won, who suffered a slump last year with his earned run average soaring to 6.40, also showed good performance at exhibition games as did Kim Min-seok. He pitched in a total of three relief games and did not yield a single earned run during three innings. He also brought the good mood during exhibition games to the regular season.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the only one who carries the back door of Lotte, which has been torn down due to the departure of key bullpen players such as Koo Seung-min and Choi Jun-yong. Jung has taken the mound six times this season, including two consecutive games (April 2 and 3) and three consecutive games (March 27, 28 and 29). In fact, he is playing the role of a must-winner with Yoo Chang-soe.

The results were good, too. He pitched in six games as relief pitcher, recording an ERA of 1.69 (one run in five ⅓ innings). At the game against the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday, he pitched in the bottom of the eighth inning as relief pitcher, and turned the opponent team's center batting line, which led to Noh Si-hwan, Chae Eun-seong and Kim Tae-yeon, into three outs. His maximum speed on fastballs was 148 kilometers per hour, and he maintained strong pitching despite frequent pitching.

Meanwhile, another trade transfer Choo Jae-hyun started the game as the second batter and right-handed pitcher against the Kiwoom Heroes on Thursday, and remained silent with no hits in four times at bat. Choo, who started this season with the Futures, hit hard with a batting average of 0.467 (7 hits in 15 times at bat), two homers, three RBIs and an OPS of 1.512 in six games. However, he has struggled with a batting average of 0.143 (one hit in seven times at bat) in three games since his call-up in the first division.
