KIA Tigers bullpen, which is about to be complete again. A slight change has been made.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho canceled Kim Sa-yoon and called up Choi Ji-min ahead of the match against Gwangju NC on the 25th.

After the match against LG in Jamsil on the 11th, Choi Ji-min was canceled in the first division and rested for two weeks. In the Futures (second division) game against NC in Changwon on the 23rd, he pitched in relief and recorded one scoreless inning, signaling that he is ready to return to the first division.

Choi Ji-min will immediately wait for the bullpen from this day. As for how to use Choi Ji-min, director Lee said, `I'm going to use it according to the situation I used it,' and `I think I should use it in the 6th to 7th episodes today.'

Jung Hae-young, who conducted a real-life inspection of the Futures with Choi Ji-min, goes through the verification stage one more time. Jung Hae-young allowed two runs while getting three hits (one home run) while catching one out count against four hitters in the Futures game. The maximum fastball speed is 143 kilometers. Given that it was his first real game appearance since he was injured, it was more focused on his condition after pitching than the result.

Director Lee drew the line saying, `It's not a situation where we can give Jung Hae-young enough time to rest.' "If Choi Ji-min returns to Jung Hae-young, the range of bullpen operations will expand that much," he said. "We plan to check the feeling and pitch posture after pitching rather than the result at Futures." If only the report of 'throwing properly as prepared' is posted, it should be posted (to the first team)."
