Pro baseball Lotte Giants pitcher Jeon Mir underwent medial ligament surgery on his right elbow.

Jeon, who joined Lotte this season after graduating from Kyungpook High School, showed off his talent in both pitching and hitting. Dubbed "Ohtani of Kyungpook High School" while serving as both a pitcher and a batter during his high school years, he was nominated by Lotte in the first round. In 18 games and 67 ⅔ innings, he recorded 5 wins and 1 loss with an ERA of 1.32 and 54 strikeouts, 15 walks and eight walks.

As a batter, he posted a batting average of 346 (28 hits in 81 at-bats) in 27 games with three homers, 32 RBIs, 22 walks and 13 strikeouts. Both pitchers and batters showed off their talents, and pro-nomination was also nominated as pitcher and batter.

While Jeon was expecting the birth of Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) in the KBO League, Jeon has decided to focus on pitching instead of pitching. "I want to show confidence and courage in the mound. I am always ready for three consecutive games for my team," he said ahead of this season.

Jeon caught the eye of coaching staff including coach Kim Tae-hyung with his fastball of around 150 kilometers and knuckle curves. Jeon, who was listed in the opening entry, had one win, five losses, one save, five holds and an ERA of 5.88.

Having one win, one loss and three holds and an ERA of 3.52 in 16 games between March and April, Jeon took the mound in 13 games in May and posted two losses and one save and two holds with an ERA of 5.40. Having taken the mound seven times in June, Jeon had two losses without a win, and posted an ERA of 14.40. Jeon has no record of playing in the first team since the game against LG on June 15. Since his removal from the first team roster, he has failed to take the mound at Futures. 스포츠토토

According to the club, Jeon Mir was treated for extracorporeal shock wave treatment following injection treatment as an elbow examination revealed inflammation. However, due to constant pain, he eventually underwent surgery at a hospital in Seoul on the 26th.
