Lee Eui-ri, the Rookie of the Year who appeared in the Tiger Corps for the first time in 36 years, is set to come back soon. Kia Tigers coach Lee Bum-ho reported on Lee's recovery on Wednesday. "He threw a lot. He checked all fastballs and breaking balls. He pitched 80 to 90 times."메이저사이트
"(During the rehabilitation process) I just ran forward without any delay. I heard that the results of the hospital checkup are making perfect progress. Everything is good, including the progress," the coach said with confidence to some extent. "Now I am taking a break for about 15 days. After that, I will increase the number of pitches to the highest level. During the break period, I will focus on muscle strength training," he added.
The long tunnel is coming to an end. Lee Eui-ri ended the season early after undergoing reconstruction of her medial collateral ligament and bone fragment removal surgery in June last year. The surgery, commonly known as "Tommy John Surgery," lasts at least one year. As the rehabilitation process proceeds without any noise, it seems that the minimum period will be completed.
If you've come to live pitching, what's left is actual pitching. Of course, the team will play in phases starting with the Futures League. "Since we expect to return to the top tier in mid-June, I think the Futures League will be released by the end of May. Bullpens pitchers sometimes come back around 10 months (after Tommy John surgery), but starting pitchers need to have a process to increase the number of pitches. We will be able to come back just in time for one year," Lee said.
When Lee Eui-ri returns, commas will be added to the KIA starting team. Currently, the rotation consisting of James Nail, Adam Oler, Yang Hyun-jong, Yoon Young-chul and Kim Do-hyun is in operation, and if Lee Eui-ri returns, the number of people who are tired will be given a break in order at that point.
The need increases in many ways. In fact, Kim Do-hyun, who is in charge of the ace role, has no experience in starting full-time as a starting pitcher yet. As he played 75 innings last year, he needs careful management. On top of that, Yoon Young-chul and Yang Hyun-jong seem to have shown poor performance in their games. They have been struggling every time in their games, and their stability has deteriorated somewhat. Turning point is inevitably needed to take a breather.
Will he be able to help Kia, which is reluctant to return after a long wait? The countdown will begin in earnest.
