Jeon Min-jae (26), the "Lotte Giants' lucky ball," was replaced before finishing the third inning after starting the game. More than a month has passed, but unfortunately, the aftermath of the headshot still seems to remain.

Jeon Min-jae started as the fifth batter and shortstop in the away game of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 7th.

In the top of the second inning, Jeon hit his first batter's box with no outs and no runners on the first base. After a tenacious game to reach the full count, Jeon was struck out swinging at the eighth pitch. He even managed to defend at the bottom of the second inning.
Lotte's attack followed in the top of the third inning. Lotte just tied Jeon Joon-woo's two-run shot to take a 5-1 lead. Jeon Min-jae's fifth at-bat came back. However, Jeon did not come into the batter's box. Lee Ho-joon, a pinch hitter, came into the batter's box in place of Jeon.

After playing as a starter, why was he suddenly replaced after playing at bat? A Lotte official said on the reason for Jeon's replacement, "We replaced Jeon because he had uncomfortable symptoms in his last injured area (right eye). We will decide whether to go to the hospital or not after checking his condition later."

Jeon Min-jae left the line against Kiwoom in Gocheok on April 29 after being hit by the opponent's fastball. At that time, a hospital examination revealed that there was nothing wrong with the cornea and retina. However, he was told that he needed stability due to eye bleeding.

Since then, Jeon has continued to display stellar performance since returning to the first division stage on May 18. He has a batting average of 0.356 (58 hits in 163 times at bat) with three home runs and two doubles, 22 RBIs with 26 runs, one stolen base and 10 walks, with a on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.398, and an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.472 and OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.870 this season.

As soon as he returned on May 18, Jeon Min-jae said in an interview, "Everything I see is almost back," but added, "If the wind blows a lot, the dryness gets worse, so I wear sunglasses and put artificial tears to prevent it." 카지노

At Lotte, which has been suffering from a lot of injuries recently, the importance of an individual player is growing even more. Will Jeon be able to play normally in the upcoming match on Tuesday.
