Home run king Park Byeong-ho (37, KT)’s return plan on the 10th failed.
KT coach Lee Gang-cheol met with reporters ahead of the season’s 5th match against NC at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 10th and said, “I think we will have to wait a little longer for Park Byung-ho.”
Park Byeong-ho, who injured his left hamstring during a base run earlier this month, showed signs of rapid recovery and was scheduled to be registered today. Coach Lee said in the game against NC the day before, “Park Byeong-ho will be registered tomorrow (10th). Currently, both hitting and defense are possible.”
However, unlike the plan, it is expected that it will take a little longer to return. Coach Lee, who we met on the 10th, said, “I can hit, but running is only about 50%. He was informed that he would have to wait a bit longer. He regretfully said, “I have to play a little and hit the designated hitter before I can raise it.”
Unlike Ya Soo-jin, the mound was relieved to some extent with the return of many of the existing key members. KT excluded Cho Hyun-hyun, Kim Min, and Park Se-jin, who were hit by NC batters the previous day, from the first-team entry, and registered Cho Hyun-woo, Lee Chae-ho, and Bae Seong-seong. Lefty specialist Cho Hyeon-woo is the first call-up of the season. In September of last year, he underwent surgery to remove bone fragments in his elbow and underwent long-term rehabilitation.스포츠토토
Coach Lee said, “After the NC match, the next opponent is a team with a lot of left-handed hitters such as Lotte, LG, and Doosan. There was no pitcher to catch a left-handed batter, so I put up Jo Hyun-woo.” Pitchers who can digest long innings have also been called up.”
KT, who lost 4 consecutive losses, faced NC starter Shin Min-hyuk, Hong Hyun-bin (center fielder) – Cho Yong-ho (right fielder) – Anthony Alford (left fielder) – Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter) – Moon Sang-cheol (1st baseman) – Kim Jun-tae (catcher) – Park Kyung-soo (2nd baseman) -Kim Sang-soo (shortstop) -Kim Byeong-hee (third base) The starting pitcher is Joon Sohn, who is making his second appearance after returning from injury.
