KT Wiz’s ‘fourth hitter’ Byung-ho Park is back. It is difficult for him to play as a starter right away, but he is expected to be used as a pinch hitter in the second half of the game.

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol announced the call-up of Park Byung-ho to the first team ahead of the 4th game of the season against Lotte Giants in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 12th.

Park Byeong-ho felt an abnormality in his leg during a base run in a home game against the Samsung Lions on the 29th of last month, and as a result of the examination, he was diagnosed with micro damage to his hamstring. He came up to the first team exactly 10 days after being expunged from the first team entry on the 2nd.

Director Lee said, “Park Byeong-ho has risen by about 80%. I looked at the lineup yesterday, and there was no pinch hitter.” This weekend, I will prepare as a pinch hitter.”

Coach Lee also reported on the status of other injured players. The main outfielder assignment, who was unable to join the opening entry due to a fracture in the back of his left hand, will play the Futures League game tomorrow. Pain in the right middle finger. Kim Min-hyeok, who felt this, plans to return early next week.

On the mound side, ‘reinforcements’ will also be added. The main characters are Sovereignty, the “core of the bullpen,” and Jeon Jeon, the “2019 first pick.”

Coach Lee said, “The speed limit of the fastball was 140 km/h (in the game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 12th). I will take a day off tomorrow and throw it in the Futures League game on Sunday if my arms are in good condition. If there is no problem, I will discuss with the training part and call up. “Jeon Yong-joo has a fast ball speed of 144 km/h and a slider speed of 130 km/h, but it was okay to watch the video.

Coach Lee expressed his anticipation for the return of the injured players, saying, “I wonder if the (injured) will return to some extent by the end of next week and the fourth week of this month.”스포츠토토
