Jeon Min-jae of the Lotte Giants, who is running at the top of the batting list, is the main character.

Jeon Min-jae started as shortstop in Game 2 of the weekend series against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th.

Lotte's defense in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 1-3, and Lotte's third pitcher Kim Kang-hyun.

Doosan's leadoff hitter Kim Ki-yeon walked straight to get on base. The next batter, Park Joon-young, buntted. However, the ball flowed strongly in front of the pitcher. As soon as catcher, Kim Kang-hyun confidently threw the ball to second base, and it was a perfect outing.

However, there was a problem with Jeon Min-jae's motion to throw to the first base. First baseman Kim Ki-yeon's tackle came into the left ankle, which was Jeon Min-jae's stepping foot, and Jeon floated in the air and fell on his back. It was a moment when commentator Park Yong-taek was surprised by the injury.

Lotte was even more surprised because Jeon Min-jae, who was the No. 1 hit and became the team's treasure by playing hard as the main shortstop. When no defense obstruction was declared, head coach Kim Tae-hyung walked out to the ground himself.

However, the referee repeatedly said that he was not obstructing the defense. He explained that he was blocking the bases while receiving the throw. Kim Ki-yeon's tackle was on the second base, but Jeon's legs blocked the lead.

The two players were a team-mate at Doosan for one year last year. Kim Ki-yeon apologized to Jeon immediately after the collision, and Jeon, who was briefly devastated right after the collision, soon accepted the apology.

Commentator Park Yong-taek emphasized, "Jeon Min-jae fell due to Kim Ki-yeon's sliding, but it depends on whether the sliding went into the base or to prevent a double play."

However, the analysis based on the slow motion picture was the same as the referee's judgment. At the scene where the injury was feared, Park sighed repeatedly. "Playing to prevent double play is banned now," he said, explaining the rule that allows double outs to be handled in case of interference. "Sliding was headed for the base. That's why Kim Tae-hyung agreed," he added.

Jeon's fighting spirit was beyond imagination. Soon after, he hit a timely hit to call Son Ho-young with two outs and a runner on second base in the top of the seventh inning, the next at-bat. He also performed his sacrifice bunt, proving himself to be a "luckyard." Lotte won the game 7-4 thanks to Na Seung-yeop's finishing hit and Yoon Dong-hee's four hits.
