KIA manager Lee Bum-ho delivered the condition of his nails ahead of the Lotte Giants match at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th. He said "Nail made 60 bullpen pitches. They say there is nothing wrong with throwing."
Nail successfully completed two previous bullpen pitches. On the 22nd, he successfully finished a total of 40 bullpen pitches in two sets, 20 each. On the 25th, he also received a passing score on the same pitch.
On the 24th of last month, he suffered a broken jaw after being hit by Matt Davidson's ball against Changwon NC, and performed emergency surgery. After being discharged from the hospital after a week of hospitalization, he has been preparing to return by making a little body. Nail, who stood in the bullpen with a mouthpiece, continues to flow with no pain or abnormalities found in the two pitches.
Nails will be re-examined at the surgical site on the 30th. If you watch the progress of the fracture and are judged to be fine, you will enter a full-fledged preparation mode for the Korean Series. Coach Lee gave a positive look, saying, `I don't think there will be a problem in taking the mound in the Korean Series under the current situation.'

When he underwent surgery for a broken jaw after being hit by a pitch, he seemed to be done with KIA. However, he vowed to return with tears in his eyes at the wish of a recovery that the team and fans gathered their hearts. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he visited his home stadium, Gwangju Kia Champions Field, and started working out as a surprise pitchman to support his teammates who are about to win the pennant race. "I can't miss the pennant race victory ceremony."He even claimed to accompany him on the expedition, and he secretly participated in the champagne ceremony and proved what 'one team' is.
