Alcantara Canceled Due to Elbow Pain… All Doosan Foreign Pitchers Leave
Coach Lee Seung-yeop: “Congratulations to Choi Jeong… I hope he hits 500 home runs and reaches 600 home runs.”
Professional baseball Doosan Bears’ unwavering ace Raul Alcantara was expunged from the first team on the 25th due to elbow pain.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop announced the news of Alcantara’s cancellation ahead of the NC Dinos game held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on this day and said,
“We are also embarrassed by the news in a hurry today.” 메이저사이트
As a result, three of Doosan’s five starters to open this season left.
Brandon Waddell, the second starter, was placed on the injured list due to back pain, and Dong-ju Kim,
who had been given the opportunity to be the fifth starter,
was sent down to the second team after a poor performance in five games,
one win, one loss, and an ERA of 5.48.
Choi Won-jun, who is starting today, is also struggling,
going back and forth between the 1st and 2nd teams,
recording 1 win, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 13.09 in 3 games.
Coach Lee expressed his regret, saying, “It’s very difficult because Kwak Bin is the only player who has maintained (the starting rotation) since the start of the season.
What can we do? We have to fill in what we don’t have”
At the same time, he said, “I think it will get better if (second-year) Choi Jun-ho throws well and the players coming up from the Futures League do their part.”
Regarding right-hander Lee Young-ha, who was promoted to the first team that day, he said,
“I think we need to look further into the situation to see whether he will fill Alcantara’s position or move into long relief.”
Starting catcher Yang Eui-ji’s exclusion from the starting lineup due to a wrist bruise will continue for the time being.
Coach Lee said, “I was told that I am participating in practice, but not enough to be in the lineup.
He said, “I heard that the defense is difficult,” and added,
“I hope (backup catcher) Kim Ki-yeon gives more strength.”
Manager Lee said that the previous day, Choi Jeong (SSG Landers) surpassed him and set a new KBO League personal home run record (468).
Coach Lee, who spoke carefully about the team’s difficult situation,
expressed his congratulations and said,
“Congratulations on opening the way for Korean professional baseball to advance to the next level.
