SSG Landers' flagship hitter Choi Jung met a reef on the verge of returning. The pain remained subtle and went into an unexpected wait.

SSG manager Lee Soo-yong lamented that he did not know when Choi Jung would be able to return before the game against the Hanwha Eagles in the 「2025 KBO League」 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 15th.

Choi hurt his hamstring during the exhibition game in March. Earlier this month, I received a finding that it was almost cured, but progress was slow there.




Director Lee Soo-yong said, `The pain should go away first, but he is most frustrated"It was a pity.

Choi Jeong was diagnosed to have recovered 90% as a result of the examination on the 1st. I built my body with the goal of making a comeback in a week or two. However, there was no progress during the third examination on the 10th. I checked again on the 15th, but it was still in place.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `It's hard to say anything because it's my first time being sick. The first thing is that the pain has to go away. He was worried that he had a little hard time because he prepared everything according to himself, but now that it's like this.




Due to the nature of professional sports, which plays throughout the season, many players live with minor injuries. If it's a little uncomfortable or unbearably uncomfortable, it's often sweet and running.

However, hamstrings are sensitive areas. There is a risk that it will worsen with a bigger injury if it is not 100% for no reason. In addition, it is said that Choi Jeong was injured for the first time. It is difficult for them to judge whether it is an injury that can withstand the level of management.

Choi Jeong also turned 38 this year. I can't help but blame my age. It is natural that the pace of recovery is slower than in the past. Now, it is also important to keep in mind that serious injuries are directly related to the life of the player.




Manager Lee Sung-yong said, `It will be okay again in a little while, so it won't be comfortable, but please think positively as possible. You can come back as long as you don't have pain. The timing of when and how it will come out is not easy to say now. He declined to say.

SSG is without Choi Jeong, but it's holding up well. Young players, including Park Ji-hwan, Jung Joon-jae, Ko Myung-joon, and Hyun Won-hoe, are filling the vacancy as much as possible. Based on this, SSG sat at the top of the ranking table early in the opening period, laughing at the lower-ranked evaluation. Having played 15 games, he is currently in second place with nine wins and six losses. On the 17th, ace Mitch White, who was injured, will also return.
