On the afternoon of the 9th, Lotte-KT of the 2022 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League was held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. Lotte’s Han Dong-hee, dubbed “Little Lee Dae-ho,” started as the fifth batter at third base in a game against KT on the 9th. Lotte Han Dong-hee, the No. 1 error in the third baseman, played a clean defense on the day.
In the bottom of the third inning when Lotte was trailing 1-0, Park Byung-ho hit KT So Hyung-joon’s 134km slider to hit a deep grounder to third base. Han Dong-hee gently caught the ball, hit the third base, and threw it hard to first base. The result made the starter Sparkman’s shoulders lighter with a double play.
He also played a clean defense in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Hwang Jae-kyun hit a 147km fastball by one out and So Hyung-joon. He went strong to third baseman Han Dong-hee. Han Dong-hee, who took a step forward and caught it, gently threw it to first base. Sparkman applauded the successive rain. Han Dong-hee also headed to the dugout after finishing the inning with a bright smile.
He had a multi-hit at-bat. He appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning and hit a hit to create a scoring chance. The chance disappeared due to a double play by follow-up hitter Lee Ho-yeon. In the top of the sixth inning with two outs, he also hit So Hyung-joon’s 134km changeup to record a multi-hit with a clean heavy hit.
However, in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and second base, Park Byung-ho’s infield fly ball was a ridiculous error by second baseman Lee Ho-yeon, and second baseman Shim Woo-joon rushed home around third base. He scored an extra point. The Lotte dugout froze in an instant. 파친코

Starting pitcher So Hyung-joon was the first Korean pitcher to reach the 10-win mark in the first half of the year, blocking with seven hits, three strikeouts and one run in six innings.
