Lotte Giants Yoon Dong-hee was canceled from the first team on the 7th. Lotte excluded pitcher Park Joon-woo and infielder Kang Sung-woo from the first team entry along with Yoon Dong-hee.
Yoon Dong-hee from Yatap High School joined Lotte in the second and third round in 2022, and is now in his fourth year. However, he is the mainstay of Lotte's fielders, which Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung picked.
He was the center of the team in offense and defense, from the table setter to the clean-up trio, the slugging power that shot 14 home runs last year in a measured trail, the best strength in the team, and the defense that covers all three spots in the outfield even with short experience.
As a result, the team was never excluded from the team roster last year. At the same time, Yoon's presence in the team as well as his strong physical stamina and excellent physical management stand out as he played throughout the entire season last year when both pitching and hitting were injured frequently. It was also the result of the hard work of coach Kim Tae-hyung, who trusted and supported Yoon despite his slump in batting average of 2229 in April at the beginning of the season.
Not only that, he was also No. 1 in popularity thanks to his tall stature, slim body and well-mannered face. He proudly displayed his name on top of Lotte's uniform sales list last year.
His trust remained unchanged this year as well. At the Media Day held ahead of this season, Kim Tae-hyung picked Yoon Dong-hee as a player he should play for Lotte.
However, his performance was too sluggish. He had hits from time to time, and in the match against Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on April 2, he was recorded as the first batter to pass the 8-meter monster wall against Moon Dong-ju.
Nevertheless, his batting average did not rise below .200. He played in 13 games this season, and had a batting average of 179, seven hits in 49 times at bat, one homer, two RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.629.
In the end, the head coach made a decision. Rather, he decided that it would be better to elevate his sense of play in the second division for the time being.
With the cancellation of Yoon Dong-hee, only four outfielders in Lotte's first team are left: Cho Se-jin, Jang Doo-sung, Jeon Joon-woo, Reyes. It is expected that Hwang Sung-bin, who left on the 28th of last month due to injury, or Lee In-han, who has the ability to hit with a single shot, will make a call-up.
Through Sunday, Lotte ranked eighth among the 10 teams with a team batting average of 241 percent. Notably, at the match against the Doosan Bears in Busan on Sunday, the team came from behind to lead 5-6 even when it was leading 5-0, and again led 12-7 before losing 12-15 to engage in a bloody battle that lasted for 4 hours and 53 minutes during the regular innings. Can the cancellation of Yoon Dong-hee and the rest of the day be a turning point.
