Will the Lotte Giants be able to shake off the nightmare of injury in the new year? Fall baseball has failed for seven consecutive years, as players have been hampered by injuries every time they are on a good track.
Kim Min-seok (currently Doosan Bears) left the mound just before the opening of the exhibition game due to ruptured abdominal muscles. Since then, Han Dong-hee, Hwang Sung-bin, Jeon Joon-woo, Jeong Hoon and Son Ho-young have suffered from hamstring and abdominal muscle injuries. Yoo Kang-nam and Choi Jun-yong underwent knee and shoulder surgery, respectively, and ended the season. Shim Jae-min, who had been suffering from the injury, failed to return to the mound in the end, and pledged for next season.
Lotte strived to overhaul and nurture off-season players. It has refined the basics of rookie players by establishing an unscheduled overseas wrap-up training session. It flopped down its "one-club man" Kim Won-joong and Koo Seung-min, both of whom worked hard to crack down on internal issues.
Having suffered from chronic pain, Ko Seung-min and Son Seong-bin underwent surgery and worked hard for rehabilitation. Jeon Mir, who complained of elbow pain, also underwent elbow surgery, and Kim Jin-wook decided to cancel his enlistment in the Armed Forces athletic unit due to his injury and aim for rehabilitation this season.
Except for Jeon Mir, who underwent surgery late, the team will participate in the spring camp, which will begin at the end of January, and will be at war over the entry of the new season.
The key to the starting lineup is the two seats except for Barnes, Davidson and Park Se-woong. Except for Koo Seung-min, Kim Won-joong, and veteran Kim Sang-soo and Han Hyun-hee, the bullpen session is close to Muju.
Kim Jin-wook and Na Kyun-an are one step ahead in the starting competition, but Lee Min-seok, Shim Jae-min, Chung Hyun-soo, Choi Yi-joon, Lee Byung-joon, and Park Joon-woo are looking for an opportunity to explore the situation. The bullpen is also expected to be competed by Park Jin-Kim Kang-hyun and Song Jae-young, who stood out last year, and veteran Jin Hae-soo, Park Jin-hyung and Park Si-young, starting with Choi Joon-yong, who returned from injury, and Jeong Cheol-won, who joined in a trade.
Above all, they need to stabilize their home turf to catch them. Yoo Kang-nam, the "8 billion FA," is expected to feel more responsible. The competition among catchers, including Son Seong-bin and Information-geun, is also fierce.
The lineup, which succeeded in massive rebuilding last year and ranked second in team batting average and on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS), is solid. Son Ho-young, Ko Seung-min, Na Seung-yeop in the infield, and Yoon Dong-hee and Reyes in the outfield are solid. The key is Park Seung-wook's position, who competes every year. Jeon Min-jae, who was acquired through trade, and rookie Lee Ho-joon, Kang Sung-woo, and Han Tae-yang seem to be taking on the challenge.
As long as there are no injuries, Lotte's strength is as strong as that of the semifinals. However, the baseball community does not seem to regard Lotte as a candidate for the best five again this year. Professional baseball is an ultra-long race in which 144 games are played. Not only main players but also overall players' depth management is a team class.
