It was a shot that put Taipei Dome, which was in a festive mood, into silence for a moment.메이저놀이터

Ryu Joong-ilho and Na Seung-yeop (Lotte Giants) who shed tears at the Taipei Dome were all comforting. When they were trailing 2-6, they hit a solo shot over the right fence with only two outs in the top of the seventh inning as a pinch hitter. Although the game ended with a three-point loss, it was enough to leave a deep impression.

There was a fifty-fifty chance of going to Taiwan.

His batting average of 312 (127 hits in 407 times at bat) in 121 games, seven homers and 66 RBIs, and his on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.880, were sufficient to serve as a call to the national team. His experience at the Lotte Giants also stood out amid assessments that he could not find a professional first baseman. However, he has many multi agents to cover the first base. Na Seung-yeop needed more than the impact that Lotte showed.
"I don't have a professional first baseman, but I have a lot of resources to watch him play," Na said. "I'm doing my best by continuing to practice at the first base. Fortunately, my batting condition does not affect me as I was in the wrap-up camp after the season. I am fully fit and maintaining a good coach. I think I just have to go home early." On the competition points, Na said, "All I have to do is to be tall. Everyone is good, but I'm not as tall as I am."

Na Seung-yup was absent from the starting lineup against Taiwan, but did not miss a chance to draw an arch. This demonstrates why Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who is known for his picky and strict taste in players, appointed him so seriously. Perhaps, he took advantage of Na's talent when he jokingly said, "I will join you (in the closing camp) as soon as I fail (in the final roster).

Na Seung-yeop started to show off his talent that he had been recognized since high school. In addition to batting average of 300, he also produced doubles, which ranks fifth (35) in the entire league, has a sharp pioneering eye, an on-base percentage of .411 or higher, and a batting average of .354 in scoring areas. As the team grows further, it is highly likely that he will establish himself as a new flagship player of Lotte. For the Korean national team, which lamented that it has no clue about No. 4 after Noh Si-hwan's injury, it is worth mentioning Noh's name as a new flagship option.
Lotte has had no victory for 32 years. However, numerous talents that they have developed have brought joy to the Korean baseball in the international arena. Attention is focusing on another talent that Lotte has created, the way forward.
