KIA Tigers even completed a medical test for Cho Sang-woo, who welcomed him as a new family member. Now, all you have to do is throw well to win next season.
KIA suddenly revealed the results of Cho Sang-woo's arm examination on the 24th.
I wonder if it was a special for Christmas. However, Cho Sang-woo already performed an MRI examination of his right shoulder and elbow at the Sejong Sports Orthopedic Clinic in KIA Seoul on the 20th. The trade was announced on the 19th. KIA immediately checked Cho Sang-woo's physical condition a day later.
I had no choice but to. Cho Sang-woo played only 44 games for the Kiwoom Heroes this season. The number of innings also failed to fill 40 innings. It was the aftermath of the injury.
It wasn't an easy year. Season to come back ambitious after completing military service. However, he failed to secure the closing position for the opening of the season. Manager Hong Won-ki and the club had a very weak bullpen, so it was a good intention to use the most important moment by breaking away from the concept of finishing, but it could be disappointing from the player's point of view.
In the end, Cho Sang-woo was returned to the finish line, but he was hampered by the injury. My shoulder broke in the middle of the season and I barely did my job. Kiwoom, which endured well with the possibility of a mid-range leap until the middle of the year, began to collapse as Cho Sang-woo left and missed games that could be won.
At that time, the examination showed that it was not a very serious injury, but it was said that the pain continued to bother Cho Sang-woo. These injuries should be managed better. KIA also made a trade, but it was inevitable.
The examination results are fine. There was no need to publish this in particular. However, as talk of Cho Sang-woo's shoulder problem continued, KIA seems to have announced the results of the examination to completely shake it off.
KIA lost Jang Hyun-sik, who was the key to its winning record. Jang Hyun-sik became the first FA to join the LG Twins on the condition of a full guarantee of 5.2 billion won. However, he showed his willingness to lose two consecutive games by bringing in Cho Sang-woo, who will completely fill the spot. With Jung Hae-young having an outstanding finish, he can form the strongest back door in the eighth and ninth innings. This was based on the premise that Cho Sang-woo was healthy, but it started well from KIA's point of view.
