[엑스포츠뉴스 김현세 기자] How will the Lotte Giants fill the void by Min Byung-hun?
Lotte announced on the 18th that’Min Byeong-hun has undergone a cerebral aneurysm surgery.’ The timing of the return is unknown. A Lotte official said,’It is the top priority for players to concentrate on recovery.’ Some believe that there is a possibility of returning in the second half of the first half. Min Byung-hun said,’I will focus on treatment and recover quickly. He replied that he will be back soon.
Min Byeong-hun said that he had a headache in 2019 and went to the hospital and found a cerebral aneurysm. Since then, I have been steadily following up, but in severe cases, it is a disease that may cause cerebral hemorrhage, so I decided to operate. Fortunately, several officials said that it was not very serious, and that it was not an obstacle to life in the future. After hospitalization, Min Byung-hun undergoes surgery at Seoul National University Hospital on the 22nd.
Min Byeong-hun played in 109 games last year, batting 0.233 with 0.582 OPS and 23 RBIs with 2 home runs and 10 steals. Even though he was in a state of illness, he was trusted by manager Heo Moon-hoe, coaches, and athletes as the captain. Although his grades were poor, director Huh has believed that there is a role that Min Byung-hun plays. Min Byung-hun said, “You say there is a relationship between poor performance (checkup results and), but I think that poor performance is poor.”
As Lotte, Min Byung-hun’s absence is very large. Responsibility and leadership ability will be replaced by Jun-Woo Jeon as a new captain this season, and the positions of outfielders include Hoon Jung, Shin-Soo Shin, and Rohan Kang, who are both domestic and outdoor fields, Jae-yu Kim, Jae-Hyun Choo, and Min-Jae Choi, who gained experience in the first team last year, and Min-jae Choi, a resource for recruiting the 2nd draft last year. I am going to fill this together. The number of outfield defensive innings was 686⅓ innings and batted ball throughput rate of 43.2%, but it is highly likely that Jung Hoon (394⅓, 42.1%) and Kim Jae-yu (272⅓, 47.9%) will replace it.
