The professional baseball Lotte Giants are about to pass the quarter of the season by playing 35 games in the 2023 season (144 games per team). If you compare it to basketball, it’s like 1 out of 4 quarters. Lotte broke the existing stigma of ‘Bomde’ and as of May 20, last mid-May, recorded a win rate of over 60% with SSG Landers and LG Twins, and settled in the ‘Top 3’ this season. Lotte is cruising, competing with SSG and LG to recapture first place in every game.
As of the 20th, Lotte is running second alone with a win rate of 0.629 and 22 wins and 13 losses in a total of 35 games. It is a difference of only 1 penny and 2 li from SSG and LG (win rate 0.641), which are tied for first place.
Coach Larry Sutton, who brought Lotte to the top of the league this season, gave a positive review of his impression of playing the ‘first quarter’. In a press interview prior to the 4th game of the season against SSG on the 21st, coach Sutton said, “It was a successful first quarter.”
Coach Sutton said, “It’s successful because our team is doing better than expected during the spring camp.” He analyzed, “One of the reasons we were able to run with success at the beginning of the season was because the overall team was well coordinated.
In Lotte, key players such as Hwang Seong-bin (ankle injury) and Jack Rex (knee injury) were excluded from the team due to injuries, but rookies and veteran players perfectly fill the vacancy and maintain a steady power. Lotte also ran a 9-game winning streak as players who made surprise appearances appeared in every game.
Coach Sutton expressed his satisfaction with the defense, which has been reborn in a more stable form compared to last season. Coach Sutton said, “From last year’s finishing camp to spring camp, young players and veterans alike have been training with a tremendous amount of training and high concentration.” Creating an environment so that it can be played has been a great driving force in strengthening the defense.”카지노사이트
Coach Sutton expected the performance shown in the first quarter to continue in the second quarter. Coach Sutton emphasized, “There were big and small injuries to players in the first quarter, but we fought very well without losing the team’s strengths.”
