Baseball’s Kiwoom Heroes are awaiting the results of a medical examination after the team’s top hitter, Lee Jung-hoo, was removed from the first team roster due to ankle pain.온라인카지노
Lee Jung-hoo was removed from the first team roster ahead of the team’s away game against the Lotte Giants on March 23. He was substituted the previous day after feeling pain in his left ankle while fielding in the eighth inning.
Lee is scheduled to undergo a medical examination on the 24th.
If it’s a major injury, it would be a blow to Kiwoom and the national baseball team as they prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games in September.
Lee is arguably the best hitter in the KBO, having won the regular season MVP last year with a .349 batting average, 23 home runs, 113 RBIs and a .996 OPS.
After this season, he will try to reach the Major Leagues with the consent of his club. After this season, he will most likely not be seen in the KBO for a while, so he was motivated to keep going, but then he got injured unexpectedly.
Kiwoom’s ankle also fell on fire. After making it all the way to the Korean Series last season, Kiwoom has struggled this season, falling to eighth place. With a 2-8 record in their last 10 games, including an eight-game losing streak, the loss of key batsman Lee Jung-hoo to injury would be a major blow.
The national team is also keeping a close eye on Lee’s injury status.
The baseball team, led by Ryu Joong-il, will try to win its fourth consecutive Asian Games in Hangzhou, which begins in September.
Unlike previous years, when the team was comprised of top professional players, this year’s Asian Games squad has a much younger average age, with players aged 25 and under, players in their fourth year of professional competition, and three wild cards (aged 29 and under).
This means that Lee Jung-hoo, who has a lot of national team experience, will be relied upon to anchor the team, but if injuries affect the team, Ryu’s gold medal chances will be tough.
As for Lee Jung-hoo himself, his chances of making it to the major leagues next year could also take a hit, so everyone is waiting with bated breath for the results of his fateful medical examination.
