On the morning of the 18th, Jamsil Stadium was covered with white snow. The visual is unimaginable that it will open in four days. As the Korea Meteorological Administration predicted, it snowed overnight and stopped in the morning, but the snow was still piled up.
On this day, the last exhibition game between the NC Dinos and the LG Twins was scheduled.There was an important check for LG. It is the day when Jang Hyun-sik, an FA transfer and new closer who suffered an ankle injury at the end of the Arizona camp, decided to pitch for the first time.
Jang Hyun-sik injured his ankle in the first camp in Arizona in mid-February. I didn't get hurt during training, but I slipped while walking in the evening and missed my right foot and hurt my ankle. Fortunately, when X-rays were performed at a nearby hospital, there was no abnormality in the bone, but he returned home immediately for a detailed examination. On MRI and detailed examination, he was diagnosed with partial rupture of the ligament outside the right foot's back.According to the medical staff's opinion that gradual rehabilitation is possible after a week of stability, it is expected that it will take about four weeks to play catch from two weeks later and return. In other words, if everything goes well, we can return until the opening.
Jang tried and recovered quickly. And he was scheduled to take the mound in the second-tier game on the 16th. However, the game was canceled due to rain, so it was replaced by live pitching and bullpen pitching. And he was finally going to join the first team on the 17th and train with his teammates to test whether he would join the opening game with his first appearance in the first team on the 18th.
However, the weather is not helping. As of 9:30 a.m., snow is piled up, so it is unlikely that the ground will be able to play until 1 p.m.
Moon Sung-joo, who was unable to play in the actual game due to clumping symptoms in his waist in the Okinawa camp, played for the first time against NC on the 17th and recorded no hits, one walk, and one strikeout in one at-bats. It would be nice to play one more day to increase the batting performance, but it is fortunate that he played at least one game.
For now, LG's first to third starters, including Yoni Chirinos, Son Joo-young and Elijah Hernandez, have taken the mound twice in the exhibition games, raising the number of pitches to 80 to prepare for the opening. On this day, Lim Chan-kyu will start in order.
