Coach Sutton, who had to go to work and leave the baseball field twice this month alone due to dizziness, called general manager Seong Min-gyu late at night on the 27th and told him that it was difficult to carry out his managerial duties.

The Lotte club put an end to their three-year partnership on the 28th, saying, "We have decided to accept Sutton's will."

Sutton, who started his relationship with the club as the manager of the Lotte 2nd Army in 2019, took over as official manager in May 2021 after former manager Heo Moon-hoe was sacked.

In 2021, Sutton showed potential with a 50% win rate, but in 2022, coach Sutton, who failed to overcome the objective inferiority, seemed to create a sensation by taking the lead at the beginning of this season.

However, from June, his grades plummeted, and the coaching staff and even a 'rebellion wave' broke out, taking a big hit on his leadership.

After that, he rebounded for a while at the beginning of this month, but recently, as the team fell into a 7-game losing streak and a 'red flag' was turned on in his health, he eventually left Korea.

As a result of the examination, it was diagnosed that there was no particular disease, but that stress seemed to have affected the physical condition.

Sutton is the first foreign coach to step down due to health problems.

A professional baseball manager who has to fight the pressure of grades every day has no choice but to live with stress as a companion.

LG Twins coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop, who collapsed in the dugout during the game while leading the team as SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers) coach in 2020, received treatment that year and returned to the bench, but eventually voluntarily stepped down.

Returning to the field this year with the LG baton, he said, "I don't do anything baseball-related when I go home to manage stress.

Instead, I try to read books and spend time with my wife."

‘National batter’ Lee Seung-yeop, Doosan Bears coach, took the baton for the first time this year and lost weight noticeably during the season.

All of these are caused by stress.

The world of intense competition sometimes even threatens the director's life.

Former coach Baek In-cheon had to leave the dugout for a while due to a brain hemorrhage in 1997 while he was in charge of the Samsung Lions, and after returning to the bench, he could not complete the season and voluntarily resigned.

Former coach Baek has been suffering from the aftermath of brain hemorrhage, a chronic illness he acquired at the time, until now in his old age.

Former manager Lee Hee-soo, who led the Hanwha Eagles' first championship in 1999, had a tumor on the back of his ear and eventually failed to renew the contract due to health problems.

Although it is difficult to say that stress is a direct cause, it cannot be avoided in any way.

Former manager Kim Myeong-seong, who led Lotte's entry into the Korean Series in 1999, suffered a heart attack caused by stress in July 2001 and passed away.
