"All the players who played in the game did a great job." Congratulations to Hyung-woo Choi on his 2,500 hits."

After the game between the KIA Tigers and the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 27th, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho's feelings about the game.

KIA defeated Kiwoom 7-5 thanks to Choi Hyung-woo's come-from-behind shot and Oh Sun-woo's winning shot. It had to be a pleasant night of victory.




However, Lee's comments were unprecedentedly short. Actually, I wouldn't have wanted to say anything. However, Choi Hyung-woo, the team's oldest player, set the third 2,500-hit record in KBO League history with an important home run, so we couldn't move on without congratulating him.

If the coaches win the game, they will not forget the evaluation of the team's players that day, the revival of the game situation, and thanking the fans. However, on this day, coach Lee had no choice but to give a short answer.

The opening match between NC and KIA at Gwangju KIA Champions Field on the 22nd, KIA Kim Do-young hit a single and left the dugout after being replaced by hamstring pain in the bottom of the third inning. Gwangju = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.03.22/
It was because even if I won, I couldn't laugh. It's because of Kim Do-young's injury. Kim Do-young stole in the bottom of the fifth inning and caught his right hamstring. He was immediately replaced, and he moved to the hospital for an MRI examination. Right hamstring injury.




It is highly likely that when coach Lee delivered his feelings about the game, it was before the results of the examination were delivered. But Lee must have known instinctively. That it's not a minor injury.

Kim Do-young, who quickly became a KBO League superstar last year due to his incredible performance. However, he shocked everyone by injuring his left hamstring while playing too much running base in the opening game of this season. He couldn't even play a full game on March 22, and returned on April 25, so he had to lose more than a month in vain.

In that way, I solved the year I hadn't played in a month. The steal seemed to be restrained as much as possible. However, he managed to steal two bases against the Samsung Lions on the 24th. First stolen base this season.

Manager Lee expressed his concern ahead of the match against Kiwoom. Coach Lee said "It's good to steal, but it's never possible to get injured" and "Let's play only when we feel our legs are really good." It should be left to the player's own judgment. Of course I don't want to run unless it's really necessary."

It was a really necessary situation. He chased from 0-2 to 1-2 with his hit, and was able to create a tie chance in front of No. 4 Choi Hyung-woo if he went to second base with two outs. Was it because my left leg felt okay. Because he only cares about that leg, did he put a load on the other side. He stole but hurt his right hamstring. a situation in which no one can be blamed. Director Lee is likely to have a sleepless night.
