In a moment of crisis, there was no need to find a savior from afar. Jung Hoon (38), a 16-year veteran of the Lotte Giants in professional baseball, proves himself that his time is still not over.

Jung Hoon started as the second designated hitter in the regular season showdown with the Doosan Bears at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 5th, and led his team to a 6-1 victory with three hits, one RBI and one run from four times at bat. This season's first multi-hit game and a three-hit game. 카지노사이트

He struck out at bat for the first time in the first inning, but hit a critical hit in the second inning in the third inning. There was no follow-up hit. When Yoo Kang-nam was leading by one point in the fifth inning due to his solo shot in the fourth inning, Jung Hoon played the starting point for an additional run. Jung Hoon, who appeared in the fifth inning with no runners on one out, hit a sharp pitch to left field and became a double. Doosan left fielder Kim In-tae tried to make a sliding catch, but he failed to clear the ball, and Jung Hoon ran all the way to the second base. Later, Na Seung-yeop's ground ball to the third base, and Jung Hoon stepped home until Reyes made a timely hit to the left field. 

In the sixth inning, he hit a wedge-shaped RBI single himself. In the sixth inning, he garnered a deep timely hit to the left field from an opportunity with one out and runners on second base due to leadoff hitter Jeon Min-jae's infield hit and sacrifice bunt by Jang Doo-sung. It was a three-hit game, and a timely hit to lead the game to 5-0. Afterwards, Jung Hoon was replaced by Han Tae-yang to wrap up the game on the day. 

Lotte suffered a crushing defeat of 3-15 on the previous day. The team's batters still have no chance of finding a way out. However, as Jung Hoon opened a door, the team was able to overcome the shock of the crushing defeat. Not only on the day of the game but also at a time when Lotte was in crisis this year, Jung Hoon always appeared as if he were a savior. 

The season started off unsettlingly with one win and five losses in the opening six games, and it was a start of the current trend from last year's. However, he led his team's victory with a decisive double at the match against KT Wiz in Sajik on March 29. He appeared as a leadoff hitter in the fifth inning when the score was 1-1, hitting a double to right field, and later scored the finishing goal by hitting a double to Jeon's double. He ended his three-game losing streak and led his team to its second win of the season.

On the following day, he pulled his team out of the mire of defeat against KT on the 30th. In the ninth inning, when his team was losing 2-3, he took the batter's box as a pinch hitter with one out and runners on the second base due to Kim Min-sung's walk and Information Geun's sacrifice bunt. Jung Hoon, who faced KT's fastball closing pitcher Park Young-hyun, did not miss a real pitch and scored a timely double to divide the left-center gap, tying the game 3-3. The team remained in a 4-4 draw at the end of the 11th inning, but Jung Hoon blocked one loss. 

And in the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 2nd, he played a decisive role in leading the team's winning streak. And on this day, Jung Hoon once again led the team to victory and imprinted the fact that he is the savior he finds in a moment of crisis.

Last year, when the fielders left the field due to a string of injuries, Jung Hoon sacrificed for the team by playing not only as a first baseman but also as a left fielder and as a third baseman who had rarely seen him in the past. Thanks to Jung Hoon's sacrifice, he was able to fill the position that created a gap without difficulty, and he was able to rebound after May and compete in autumn baseball. 

Lotte also suffered a flurry of injuries this season. Ko Seung-min, Son Ho-young, and Hwang Sung-bin are currently absent from the main league. However, Jung Hoon is supporting the team in the dugout and on the ground, laying the foundation for a rebound. He continues to play as an indispensable role. In January 2022, Jung Hoon signed a three-year FA contract worth 1.8 billion won and will become a FA once again at the end of this season. He still shows that Jung Hoon's time is not over.

After the game on Thursday, Jung-hoon said, "I was able to go with consecutive weekend series losses, and I am happy to help my team win. As a veteran, I try to communicate with the team with my role and responsibility," adding, "I will continue to do my best to play the role of a veteran. Finally, I want to thank the coach who trusts me until the end and sends me to the game."
