In the second half of the year, Lotte, the top of the bullpen, has a place to lean on the sluggish blow (SS intensive analysis)

(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) The bat has cooled down. In the second half of the batting average, the batter has disappeared. It’s a team of hitting, but a bat is struggling. There is no place to lean though. The bullpen, which was not good in the first half, survived. It is a great force for Lotte in an important game.

Lotte is somewhat unstable in the second half. The difference between the second place Hanwha is rarely narrowed. However, the SSG that came up from the bottom allowed to pursue. It’s not caught up with the chin, but it’s true that the flow is burdensome. It is a situation that cannot be relieved.

I have no choice but to worry because I have lost strength. There is a cycle in the blow. It seems to have a cycle that is currently going down. Overall, the pace fell. In the meantime, Jeon Joon -woo, who was scary in the scoring area, also left the company with hamstring. The bad news overlaps.

Still, it’s not as depressed. When a good batting line suffered a stagnation, anxious bullpen began to strengthen. As of the 12th, the average ERA in the second half of Lotte was 2.48, ranking second. The difference is not big than the first SSG (2.46). The SSG bullpen is the top of the season. Lotte bullpen flow in the second half is how good the flow of Lotte bullpen is.

Lotte Team’s average ERA will exceed 4 points this season. Timchi in the top is high. The starter was also anxious, but the bullpen was shaken. There was a definite definite victory. Lotte Bullpen’s average ERA was 8th with 4.87. However, in the second half of the two points, it is said to be a reversal.

Jeong Cheol -won stands out. I wore a Lotte uniform with the trade ahead of this season. He has been active as a Pil Seung -jo since the beginning of the season. More than 20 holds are written. But in the first half, he showed ups and downs. The first half was finished with an average ERA. After breaking the All -Star Break, I found stable again. The average ERA in the second half is 0 points.

‘Sick Finger’ Yoon Sung -bin also shows off his presence in the bullpen. Kim Tae -hyung said, “I have a good ball, but I can’t just do it.” In the second half of the bullpen, he is rewarding this faith. The mid -150 km / h fastball is power.

In addition, Kim Kang -hyun and Kim Won -joong also have a good pitch. It is a pity that Choi Jun -yong was terminated on the 6th of the fish pain. Kim Tae -hyung also said, “It is big for Choi Jun -yong.” Still, there is a resource called Hong Min -ki. I have been doing my share since the first half.

As the batting line was silent, the importance of the mound has increased. If you don’t have a lot of scores, it is important to keep a small difference in the small score. It boasts a strong bullpen in the second half. This is a picture that Lotte can draw enough. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
