“In the past, if one person was missing, one person came back….”
Head coach Park Jin-man, who leads the Samsung Lions, sighs at a series of injuries, but looks forward to the day when they return higher.
Samsung, which is heavily pursued by mid-ranking teams, is missing a large number of key players.
First, Captain Koo Ja-wook. Koo Ja-wook was hit on his left calf by Lotte starter Lee In-bok’s pitch in the third inning against Lotte in Daegu on the 20th. At that time, a Samsung official said, “I received a finding that I needed to recover for about two weeks after MRI treatment at Semyung Hospital. I am currently in a state of discomfort because I have pain when walking. I will be re-examined at the Sejong Sports Orthopedic Clinic in Seoul.” Koo Ja-wook was playing very well this season with a batting average of 0.305 107 hits, 20 homers, 71 RBIs and 59 runs in 90 games. 메이저사이트
Park Byung-ho, a transfer player, was also out of the team due to a hamstring injury. On July 17, he felt a pain in his right hamstring while running against the Gwangju KIA Tigers. He was found to have damaged his hamstring and left the hospital for four weeks. After outpatient treatment at Incheon Songdo Plus Hospital for about a week after leaving the first team, Park joined the Gyeongsan Rehabilitation Team.
Kim Tae-hoon, a must-winner of the group, was also left out after being shown to have ruptured his left oblique muscle. He was playing well in 38 games with two wins, two losses and 17 holds with an ERA of 2.97, which was painful for him to leave the team. Lim Chang-min, Kim Jae-yoon, and Oh Seung-hwan are also on shaky ground.
Samsung fans are waiting for their return as soon as possible because it is the second half of the fierce ranking battle. Fortunately, they started to return little by little.
“First of all, Koo did not suffer any damage. He left the team due to swelling and bruising. As long as there is no pain, he will be able to join the team in 10 days. As it stands now, I think he will be able to join the team. I will come to Daegu on Wednesday to train and tee-bat.”
Next up is Park. Coming to Daegu, not Gyeongsan, on Saturday, Park focused on his recovery training.
“I don’t think I have much pain. I’m building up my body little by little. However, I need more time than Ja-wook. I was found to be damaged, and I’ve been hurt before that. I think I’ll be able to get hurt until August,” Park said. “When the two players come back, we can build a powerful and heavy lineup with new foreign hitter Ruben Kadenas. I think it will be a great boost to our team.”
Kim Tae-hoon takes more than four weeks.
“Tae-hoon has also gotten better. He will probably start pitching next week. Then shouldn’t we throw a few games and come to the top team of the Futures League after the live pitching? We still need time,” coach Park Jin-man said.
The injured were missing at an important moment, but on the one hand, if you come back to the team healthy and give it a big boost, there is nothing more welcome.
Coach Park Jin-man said, “Originally, when one person came in, one person went out, but all of a sudden, everyone left. The team is in a difficult situation right now. I hope that my friends, who need to be supportive of the team, will come back as soon as possible to boost the team’s atmosphere.”
Worse yet, even Ruben Kadenas reported back pain in Sunday’s game. If he gets injured again, it will be a negative factor for Samsung.
