Park Se-hyeok (NC Dinos) avoided a major injury. However, in the game on the 28th, he was omitted from the starting lineup.
NC coach Kang In-kwon talked about Park Se-hyuk ahead of the home game against KT Wiz in the 2023 professional baseball KBO league held at Changwon NC Park on the 28th.
Park Se-hyeok complained of pain in his right leg while playing base in the bottom of the 6th inning against the KIA Tigers at the same place the previous day (27th) and withdrew from the game. Fortunately, it’s not a major injury. The diagnosis was a right hamstring muscle spasm.
Director Kang said of Park Se-hyuk’s condition, “It’s better than I was worried about. He thought it was a hamstring injury, but it was a muscle spasm. It’s a bit different for today’s starter, but I think it’s possible to play a pinch hitter in the second half. I think I will almost recover by tomorrow,” he sighed in relief.
In the KIA game on the 27th, Kim Han-byeol, who started in place of starting shortstop Kim Joo-won, swung a bat with 3 hits and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats. Thanks to that, Kim Han-byeol started as the ninth hitter and shortstop on this day as well. Manager Kang In-kwon said, “(Kim Han-byeol) played well at bat yesterday. He thought it would be right to give him another chance today,” he said, looking forward to his performance.
At the same time, Director Kang said to Kim Joo-won, who was waiting on the bench, “I am preparing well in my own way. My batting condition is so down right now, I hope I can escape from the psychological burden a little. There seems to be too much pressure or thoughts that you have to do too well. I think it’s important to find peace of mind while watching the game with a bit of leisure. Until today, I will prepare for the second half of the game and from tomorrow I will play normally.”
Chae Ji-seon, a right-handed bullpen resource who wore an NC uniform through a trade with the LG Twins on the 18th, showed a somewhat disappointing appearance with 1 run in 1.2 innings in the Changwon KIA match on the 26th, the first appearance after the transfer.
Manager Kang In-kwon said, “Chae Ji-sun has a high pitch value for his slider and changeup. He has good balls too. He now has a fastball speed of up to the second half of 140km,” he said. The pitch itself is so good. He is a player who also has experience in the first team, albeit briefly, but (until the transfer to NC) came up to the first team this year and threw only one game. I think he will need some adaptation on the mound.”토토사이트
Taylor Widener, the starting pitcher for NC this day, is showing extreme ups and downs this year. If you throw well one day, the next pitching is sluggish. If this trend continues, Widener will have to fight hard this day (recent appearance against Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 22nd, 3 runs in 4 innings).
Director Kang laughed, saying, “I want to believe in that data,” and then said, “I want to have some faith today,” hoping for Widener’s efforts.
Next, coach Kang In-kwon said about Widener’s phenomenon, “It seems that the injury was the biggest at the beginning of the season. He obviously needs time to adjust while taking the mound, but due to his injury, he is not able to find the images he threw in a short time. It seems that the ups and downs have become worse,” he said. “If I pitch well today, I think I can throw well again.”
Meanwhile, NC, led by pitcher Widener, Son A-seop (right fielder) – Park Min-woo (2nd baseman) – Park Gun-woo (center fielder) – Jason Martin (designated hitter) – Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder) – Yoon Hyung-joon (1st baseman) – Do Tae-hun (3rd baseman) – The starting lineup consisted of Ahn Joong-yeol (catcher) and Kim Han-byeol (shortstop).
