Kiwoom Heroes' 'Playing Coach' Lee Yong-kyu (40) was registered in the first team for the first time this season.

Kiwoom announced veteran Lee Yong-kyu's registration for the first team ahead of the Lotte Giants match at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 30th. Outfielder Lim Ji-yeol and pitcher Yang Yang-yul were canceled.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who met at Gocheok Dome, said "Im Ji-yeol's batting had improved a lot until the season, but recently, the batting balance has collapsed, so it needs to be reorganized." I was worried because right-handed hitters were precious to our lineup, but as the number of strikeouts increased, I seemed to be nervous, so I let him go to the second division."




Yang Ji-yul also said, `After yesterday's (Jeon Min-jae's headshot) accident, the player himself is having a hard time. It's hard to throw the ball on the mound for a while It was judged and excluded."

Regarding one entry other than Lee Yong-gyu "I will think about it as much as I can register reported players in the entry from May."," he added.

"Don't all professional baseball players, not only our team, prepare and work throughout the year?" (Jeon Min-jae) It's really heartbreaking to get a chance to be a starting player and perform well and get injured like this in the middle of the game. It came out during the game, but it's too bad, and I wish you a speedy recovery."

Manager Hong Won-ki said, "(The head shot exit is made right away, so we had no choice but to prepare the pitcher urgently. I was also more worried about Jeon Min-jae's condition than our pitcher."

Lee Yong-gyu has continued to accompany the first team as a playing coach even though he was not in the entry. The head coach said, `After Puig was out, I thought we needed experienced outfielders rather than powerful players. It's a little early, but if you pushed with the spirit of young players at the beginning of the season, it's time for experienced veterans to do it."

Soon, Song Sung-moon and Park Joo-hong became the youngest. Coach Hong Won-ki emphasized, "It's time for my physical strength to drop a little, and it's time to realize how to get better based on my courageous experience of challenging myself now. How to make up for my weaknesses and return to the first team is all that's left."




The biggest concern is also the fifth starter. Due to the Children's Day holiday, we have to play nine consecutive games. First of all, the fifth starter was decided by Cho Young-gun.
