On the 13th "Kim Moo-shin felt pain in his right elbow during training on the 12th and was examined at a local hospital in Okinawa."As a result of the examination, he returned to Korea on the morning of the 13th according to the opinion of damage to the flexor muscle of the right elbow." After returning to Korea, a rehabilitation schedule will be released after a detailed examination,' he said.
Kim joined Samsung in the sixth round of the rookie draft (52nd overall) in 2018 and played in 129 innings in 127 games over five seasons, recording 7-9 losses and a 5.51 ERA with 16 holds.
Last year, he played in four regular-season games and had a 10.13 ERA in five ⅓ innings, but he made the best turning point in baseball's life in the postseason. In the playoffs with the LG Twins, he pitched three scoreless games, striking out and flying Austin Dean for two days, and in the Korean Series with the KIA Tigers, he pitched two scoreless innings in four ⅓.
Ahead of this season, he changed his name from Kim Yun-soo to Kim Moo-shin, and started to gain momentum. He made his body step by step, such as pitching the bullpen in the spring camp, but he took a break due to the sudden pain.
