On the 15th, the rest day, a total of seven players, including LG Twins pitcher Lee Sang-young, infielder Kim Dae-won and Kim Sung-jin, KT Wiz pitcher Moon Yong-ik, infielder Shin Bon-ki and Doosan Bears pitcher Choi Ji-gang, were excluded from the first-team entry.
Choi Ji-gang is caused by injury. My recent performance wasn't that bad. He became the winning pitcher by allowing one run in one ⅔ against Lotte on the 3rd, and continued his stable pitching by allowing one hit and three strikeouts in two innings against KT on the 10th, and one hit and no run in one inning against Samsung on the 13th. There is a reason why such a pitcher suddenly falls out of the first team. It was an injury.
Doosan said it was canceled due to right shoulder pain, adding that it will inform you of the details after cross-checking.
Choi Ji-gang played 41 ⅓ innings in 45 games this year, recording 3 wins, 1 loss, 1 save, 13 holds, and an ERA of 2.61.
Lee Sang-young was used as a substitute when Choi Won-tae was out due to an injury, but after Choi Won-tae's return, he played as a left-handed bullpen. He recorded a 3.38 ERA with one loss and one hold in seven games. LG plans to register left-handed pitcher Lim Joon-hyung, who will be discharged from Sangmu on the 15th, in the first team immediately on the 16th.
Kim Dae-won is a college graduate rookie who graduated from Hongik University and joined as the 48th in the fifth round. He played as a fast runner and stole two bases. As a batter, he recorded one hit in three at-bats to report his first hit since his debut.
Kim Sung-jin was in first place in the Futures League Northern League with nine home runs. He came to the first team as a right-handed pinch hitter on the 3rd, but only one hit in seven at-bats (0.143 batting average).
Moon Yong-ik came as a reward player for FA Kim Jae-yoon, who left for Samsung. He was in the first team for the third time on June 28, but took the mound only twice. He allowed two hits, two walks and three runs in one inning against Hanwha on the 4th, and one hit and eight walks and five runs (two earned) in two innings against Doosan on the 11th. Shin Bon-ki and Park Min-seok used to be algebraic and pinch runner.
