Will we be able to see him on the mound of the first team sooner than expected. Mitch White, preparing for his KBO League debut, played live pitching normally.

Rehabilitating SSG foreign pitcher White played his first live pitching on the 1st. On this day, White played a total of 30 pitches and recorded a maximum speed of 152 km. It was his first live pitching since recovering from a hamstring injury. White felt pain in his right hamstring during the second spring camp training in Okinawa, Japan, on February 27, and was diagnosed with damage to his right hamstring (grade 1 to 2).

Fortunately, the recovery was fast. It went through two re-examinations, and the final diagnosis was made on March 24 that the right hamstring had recovered normally. He accompanied the team and started normal training. White, who checked his condition by pitching the bullpen, checked his senses by throwing the ball with batters standing up for the first time since his injury.

"It's going well as planned," pitching coach Kyung Heon-ho said. It was my first live pitching since my injury and I'm satisfied overall. The pitch was good, and I think I've made a full recovery. After that, I will prepare the schedule step by step and give a positive evaluation.

I'm in good condition. After finishing his live pitching, White threw to the point where he threw in the actual game. It wasn't too much to overdo. I'm happy to get back to health and throw the ball. I tried to put as many balls as I could in the strike zone, and I'm satisfied that I finished pitching as I thought. I tried to see the reaction of the batters. I'll keep getting used to it"Everything was satisfactory. I also paid attention to mixing the balls, and I pitched without flying the ball. I finished it well as I intended"I gave myself a passing score.

"Watching the opening series, I thought I wanted to throw the ball," White said. The atmosphere was so good. It was surprising. I was overwhelmed to see the fans cheering in the audience. "I want to take the mound as soon as possible."He fired up his enthusiasm for the actual game.




White is scheduled to take the mound in a Futures League game against the Doosan Bears' second division at Ganghwa Futures Field on the 5th. If rain is canceled on this day, he will take the mound on the 6th. The mound in the Futures League will be the final stage to check whether White can take the mound in the first team immediately. If a 'OK' sign comes out without any major problems in the Futures League, the timing of the full-fledged first-team comeback can now be confirmed. Assuming that White recovers the most smoothly, he was expected to return in mid-April, which could be pushed forward even by a few days.
