Outfielder Ahn Kwon-soo (30), who played for the Lotte Giants in professional baseball, eventually leaves Lotte.
Lotte Club announced on the 26th that it would exclude Ahn Kwon-soo from the list of pending players for the 2024 season.
Ahn Kwon-soo, a third-generation Korean in Japan, joined the Doosan Bears in 2020 and played with quick feet and fighting spirit, but left Doosan due to military service issues.
Since he had to complete military service in Korea to continue playing in the KBO League
he was released from Doosan and wore a Lotte uniform ahead of this season. 바카라사이트닷컴
Ahn Kwon-soo, who played as a starting outfielder at the beginning of the season and was loved by Lotte fans
briefly left the team due to elbow pain but returned in the second half of the season.
Ahn Kwon-soo’s 2023 season results are a batting average of 0.269, 72 hits, 2 home runs, 29 RBI, and 16 stolen bases.
Ahn Kwon-soo and Lotte Club thought about ways to continue their relationship from various angles
but had no choice but to acknowledge the reality of having to fulfill military service in Korea.
Meanwhile, Lotte also excluded right-handed pitcher Moon Gyeong-chan (31) and outfielder Park Hyeong-jun (22) from the pending players list.
Moon Gyeong-chan was once a top bullpen pitcher in the league
showing outstanding performance with 1 win, 2 losses, and an ERA of 1.31 in 2019 when he was a member of the KIA Tigers.
Moon Gyeong-chan, who wore the NC Dinos uniform through a trade
joined Lotte as a compensation player for free agent (FA) Son A-seop ahead of the 2022 season.
In 2022, his first year at Lotte, he left with 38 games, 1 win, 2 losses, and 1 hold, with an ERA of 5.80.
This year, he pitched in only 2 games in the first team, showing a poor performance with 1 loss and an ERA of 27.00.
In the opening game on April 1, after giving up an overtime home run to Doosan Jose Rojas
he was immediately expunged from the first team.
He returned to the first team at the end of the season, but did not show an impressive performance.
Park Hyeong-jun, who was highly anticipated as a powerful long hitter, joined SK Wyverns (currently SSG Landers)
in 2021, was released, and wore a Lotte uniform this year.
In Lotte, he struck out in only one at-bat in the first team, and in the Futures League, he had a batting average of 0.250, 2 home runs, and 13 RBIs.
In addition, Lotte also removed right-handed pitcher Jeong Dae-hyuk (24) and outfielder Eom Tae-ho (22) from the list of pending players.
