Hwang Jae-gyun (born July 28, 1987) is South Korean professional baseball infielder who is currently playing for the Lotte Giants of the KBO League.[1]
Hwang attracted international attention for an "epic" bat flip in July 2015, after he hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning against the NC Dinos.[2][3] In October 2015, he announced that he had asked the Giants to post him for transfer to Major League Baseball in the United States.[4] His teammate, Son Ah-seop, also asked to be posted.[5]. But he failed the posting.
