What results will Kim Do-young accept at the re-examination.

Monday the 21st without baseball. For the KIA Tigers, it is 'Destiny Day'. This is because it is the day of the re-examination of Kim Do-young, who became a "superstar".

Kim Do-young, who won the MVP award last year and led the team to an integrated championship, became the best hitter in the league. Attention was focused on how far Kim Do-young will fly this season and whether he will be able to join the club with 40 home runs and 40 steals, which was unfortunately not achieved.




However, a shocking thing happened from the opening game. a hamstring injury. After hitting and sprinting, he hurt his left hamstring while aiming to the second base.

It was a fatal blow. The aftermath of the loss of an all-around player who needed to help him get on base and solve problems at the center and top of the batting order was huge. To make matters worse, KIA had to experience the humiliation of falling to the bottom even though it was early in the season due to the line injuries of key players such as Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin.

KIA's atmosphere was not good because Kim Do-young's return was delayed once. Kim Do-young's hamstring injury is not known to be that serious. On top of that, Kim Do-young was considered to be able to recover quickly because she was young.




So Kia has also set a timetable for its return. Initially, the first plan was to play in the second division after the second week of April's examination. So, he said he would return to the three consecutive home games against KT Wiz during the week starting on the 15th. Kim Do-young herself said she had no pain and announced that her condition had improved.

However, the final MRI detailed examination was postponed to the 14th due to the opinion that there was a slight sense of speed. But shocking news broke. that the injured area has not fully recovered. Thus, KIA and Kim Do-young rescheduled the re-examination to the 21st, a week later. Coach Lee Bum-ho also said ahead of the Doosan Bears match on the 20th that `Kim Do-young will see the results of the examination tomorrow and set a schedule later.'

And a week has passed. KIA, which hit the bottom, is on the verge of a 50% winning rate with four wins and two losses in six games. Batters' sense of hitting is gradually rising, and if Kim Do-young joins, he can dream of a rebound as a whole.




The important thing is the result of the examination on the 14th. If the passing decision is made here, the return schedule will be scheduled through technical training during the week and actual games in the second division. It's a three-game series against the LG Twins on the weekend at the earliest, and it could be later than that. It's not easy to rebuild your body and raise your sense of play because you rested for a long time.

The worst is to be disqualified once again. The problem with hamstrings is that they do not heal well and are easily injured once again. So director Lee Beom-ho is very careful. He called up Kim Do-young, who was not completely in a hurry, and he was worried that it would lead to a bigger injury. If he fails to schedule his return again this time, Kim Do-young will not be able to see him until May.

Will the news of Kim Do-young's examination be given to Kia, which is in the mood, or will it hurt once again.
