Why is this shocking from the start? I missed the championship due to injury, but I can't repeat it

Samsung's right-hander Kim Moo-shin (Kim Yoon-soo in the opening game), who was enthusiastically preparing for this season by changing his name, has suffered a lot of injuries. Kim returned home early due to elbow pain during training at the Okinawa Spring Camp in Japan. Kim Moo-shin, who returned home on the 13th, was examined by several hospitals in Korea and found that surgery was inevitable due to damage to the internal ligament of the right elbow.
Kim Yun-soo is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery. As many as four hospitals were visited for a thorough examination, but the surgical findings were consistent. In addition to flexor muscle damage, ligament damage is found, and first, you have to get on the operating table. Tommy John surgery takes at least a year to a year and a half to recover, rehabilitate programs, and return to practice. Kim Moo-shin, who was preparing for the opening of this season, and Samsung, which had a lot of expectations for him, are a bolt out of the blue.

This is the result of coach Park Jin-man, who finished warming up in Guam and was preparing for a real game in Okinawa. Coach Park Jin-man broke expectations in the middle and lower ranks last year and finished second in the regular season and second in the Korean Series.
However, Samsung's power, which was able to overcome the championship, was repeatedly destroyed due to injuries. Samsung was the team with the most injuries last year. Not only the main players but also foreign players turned and suffered from injuries.
In particular, even key players were injured in the playoffs and the Korean Series. Conor Seabold, a foreign pitcher who hoped to serve as the first starter following the injury departure of Choi Ji-kwang and Baek Jung-hyun, left from the end of the regular season due to injuries and returned to the U.S. without playing a single postseason game.

In order to relieve the sadness of winning the runner-up prize last year, Samsung has made efforts to strengthen its power this season as well. After finishing second in the Korean Series, coach Park Jin-man said "I realized that I still needed to reinforce the mound," and the Samsung club added depth to the rotation by recruiting Choi Won-tae, a big-fish FA starting pitcher. Unfortunately, it failed to reinforce additional bullpen personnel, but if Kim Moo-shin and other key agents in their 20s showed similar growth acceleration to last year, it was calculated that it would be worth trying.
However, just before entering the camp, there was an injury fall-out and the strength was exhausted. Samsung has to prevent injury relay bad news like last year's this season. The warning light came on from the camp.
