Kook Hae-sung drove a 147-kilometre fastball down the middle of the plate, and the ball landed in the left-centre gap.

It was Kook Hae-sung’s first hit in a Lotte uniform. The Lotte fans in the first-base bleachers cheered and chanted Kook’s name after his first hit.

After Kook Hae-sung reached first base with a delightful hit, it was Lotte’s turn to perform their batting ceremony.

Lotte players raise their arms and spread their fingers after a hit. It means “win, win, win” in Korean.

In the dugout, pitching coach Bae Young-soo and players Han Hyun-hee and Ji Ji-wan requested the gesture by singing the national anthem.

After seeing the dugout, Kook Hae-sung raised his right hand in the air and repeatedly opened and closed his hand, signalling to the fans that he had become a true Lotte Man.
