Lotte Giants right-handed bullpen pitcher Jung Chul-won (27) has suffered the passing of his grandfather. Despite his grief, he steeled himself with a sense of responsibility and headed to Busan for the game on the 13th.

According to baseball sources, Jung recently lost his grandfather. Known to have been very close with him, the news has drawn sympathy from those around him. After finishing the game against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium on the 12th, Jung immediately traveled to a funeral home in Chungcheong Province. He then moved to Busan again on the 13th. The burial is scheduled for the morning of the 14th.

What stands out most is Jung’s decision to forgo bereavement leave. Typically, in the case of a grandfather’s passing, players are granted several days of special leave and can be removed from the active roster. However, Jung declined this option. His sense of duty likely played a role, as the ninth-place Lotte Giants are in the midst of a tight race for rankings.

Moreover, Lotte’s bullpen depth is thin, especially with Japanese Asian-quota reliever Masaya Kyoyama (28) currently off the first-team roster. Jung, who has rebounded with a 3.68 ERA over his last ten games and is regaining his form as a key reliever, is an irreplaceable asset for the team right now.

This season, Jung has appeared in 15 games, recording three holds with a 5.11 ERA. After a brief adjustment period in the Futures League in April, he returned on April 29 against the Kiwoom Heroes and has since been a steady presence in the bullpen. In his most recent outing on the 10th against the KIA Tigers, he pitched ⅔ of an inning without allowing a run, proving his effectiveness.

All eyes will be on how Jung’s fighting spirit, as he returns to the Sajik mound while overcoming his sorrow, inspires his teammates.
