The KIA Tigers of professional baseball, which aims to win its second consecutive title this season, have faced difficulties as key players have been injured since the beginning of the season.
KIA cannot send the best player in the league to the game for the time being. Kim Do-young, who won the MVP of the regular season last year, suffered a hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) injury in the opening game against the NC Dinos at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 22nd.먹튀검증
Kim Do-young hit against NC starter Logan Allen with one out in the third inning and took the first base, then felt pain in his left thigh, eventually limping back to the dugout with a trainer's help.
Kim Do-young, who was diagnosed with hamstring injury (grade 1) after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, was excluded from the entry list for the first team on Sunday. She will undergo another checkup in two weeks.
Kim Do-young, who dominated the league with a batting average of 0.347 38 home runs, 109 RBIs, 143 runs, and 40 steals (OPS) of 1.067 in 141 games last year, was eventually excluded from the team's power, putting KIA on alert.
To make matters worse, even Park Chan-ho, who won the shortstop Golden Glove last year, cannot play for the time being due to a knee injury.
In the game against Kiwoom on the 25th, Park Chan-ho was shocked by his right knee when he collided with the base while trying to steal second base after hitting a right-handed hit in his first at-bat in the first inning.
Afterwards, Park Chan-ho returned to the game after being treated by medical staff, but he decided that there was a problem with running base and sent a replacement signal to the bench.
Park Chan-ho, who was diagnosed with a sprain caused by bruising at a hospital, was removed from the entry list for the first team on Wednesday. The injury to shortstop Park Chan-ho, who hit .300 for the second consecutive year, is also painful.
Kia has lost both games since Kim Do-young and Park Chan-ho left the team. It lost 10-17 to Kiwoom on Wednesday and lost 3-5 in Thursday's game, realizing its absence.
Byun Woo-hyuk, Kim Kyu-sung, and Yoon Do-hyun joined the team to fill the vacancy of the main players, but the batters lost much of their weight. Yoon, who made a defensive error in the match against Kiwoom on Wednesday, moved down to the second division the next day.
