Kim Hye-sung of Kiwoom Heroes finished the break and started his return.

Kiwoom Heroes will play an away game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 10th.

On this day, Kiwoom organized the starting lineup in the order of Lee Joo-hyung (center fielder), Lim Byung-wook (right wing), Song Sung-moon (second baseman), Choi Joo-hwan (first baseman), Kim Gun-hee (designated hitter), Ko Young-woo (third baseman), Kim Jae-hyun (poster), Lee Seung-won (striker), and Park Joo-hong (left wing).

'Captain' Kim Hye-sung was not listed in the starting lineup again on this day. Kim Hye-sung was excluded from the starting lineup after training on the 7th and complained of symptoms in her throat.

Kim Hye-sung, who has expressed her intention to challenge for the Major League after this season, is performing best. In 93 games, he played a perfect role as a key hitter in the team, recording a batting average of 341, 11 homers, 24 steals, and an OPS (long hitting percentage + on base percentage) of 0.904. Although it was somewhat slowed down at the start of the second half, Kim Hye-sung was also showing off a perfect batting sense with a batting average of 340% in the 10 games he played last time. In the four games he played in August, his batting average was as high as 421.

As it was not a major injury, he showed his will to play. However, he was unable to play in 100% condition, so the break was made to protect the player. Kim Hye-sung, who took about three days off, resumed training ahead of the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 10th. Kim Hye-sung prepared for the game by playing not only batting training but also infield defense training perfectly. He was excluded from the starting lineup for now, but depending on the situation, he is expected to play in the middle and second half of the game. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said "It's not in perfect condition yet. First of all, I decided to test it while training today."

Meanwhile, as for Kim Gun-hee, who was placed as the fifth batter and designated hitter on the same day, "He has a good sense of hitting." As a catcher, I have to grow very much and I have high expectations. He also said, "Because expectations for a hit are high, we will continue to enter the lineup." Kim Gun-hee played as the designated hitter in three consecutive games.
