SSG Landers received good news. First starter Mitch White starts pitching the bullpen.
White felt pain in his right hamstring during the second camp training in Okinawa, Japan, on the 27th of last month, and quickly boarded a flight to Korea to find out the details of his condition. The results of the first hospital examination after returning home were damage to the right hamstring (grade 1 to 2). Compared to the intensity of the pain that White himself felt, there was a greater concern as a more serious diagnosis came out than expected.
White tried to recover and return as quickly as possible. While waiting for his hamstring to improve, his upper body exercises and basic pitching training continued. It was an effort to advance the timing of his return. As a result of the second detailed examination on the 14th, he was found to have recovered more than 80% of his right hamstring. Fortunately, the recovery was fast.

White watched the opening by training with his teammates at Landers Field. Even with his hamstring injured, he continued to exercise his upper body and tried to speed up his return by throwing the ball.
And I heard good news from the re-examination. White was re-examined at the hospital on the 24th, and as a result, his right hamstring was recovered normally. An SSG official said "White will start normal training today. I'm going to throw a bullpen session today"If there is nothing unusual after pitching the bullpen one or two times, we plan to schedule live pitching and playing in Futures League games" he said."
The timing of the return could be faster than expected. Initially, the SSG club expected White's smooth return to mid-April. However, with the diagnosis of full recovery, there is a possibility that the return time will be in early or mid-April after a period of recovering the sense of practice such as live pitching and second-tier games through bullpen pitching. SSG is currently opening with White missing. Drew Anderson took the mound as the starting pitcher for the opening game, and he has a rotation of domestic starting pitchers such as Kim Kwang-hyun, Moon Seung-won, Park Jong-hoon and Song Young-jin. If White returns quickly, he can get a thousand horses.

Meanwhile, Park Sung-han, the main shortstop who suffered a wrist bruise in a dune in the regular season opener against the Doosan Bears in Incheon on the 22nd, is also in good condition. Park Sung-han took a rest on the 23rd, the day after the opening, as he missed the game to protect the player. Park Sung-han also received a hospital examination and was diagnosed with simple bruising on his right wrist. His condition has improved a lot and he will decide whether to start or not after checking his physical condition through pre-match training on the 25th.
