This is a super emergency. KIA's Kim Do-young is holding onto his legs again.
KIA Tigers star Kim Do-young injured his hamstring again. KIA won, but couldn't laugh.
Kim Do-young started as a third-third baseman in the first of three consecutive games during the week against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 27th.
Kim Do-young injured his left hamstring in the opening game of this season and closed the store for more than a month, but returned with difficulty, leading KIA to rebound. In particular, he showed off his strong batting sense by hitting home runs in four consecutive games last weekend. In addition, he resumed stealing, which he had endured due to concerns about a recurrence of a hamstring injury. He successfully stole multiple bases against the Samsung Lions on the 24th.
However, coach Lee Bum-ho was worried. Ahead of the match against Kiwoom, head coach Lee said "From my point of view, it is better for Kim Do-young to show power in hitting as a center hitter." If you get hurt while stealing for no reason, you'll lose a lot of money."Of course, the player himself will want to steal for the team. So I told him to run only when his legs are really good. I believe that the player himself will make a good judgment on his own. The coach's mind is that he doesn't want Kim Do-young to play, but if Jung wants to steal, he has to see his physical condition coolly. This is because you have no choice but to know your body best.

Kim Do-young hit a timely hit against Kiwoom starter Ha Young-min in the bottom of the fifth inning when his team was losing 0-2. Choi Hyung-woo at bat. With two outs, if Kim Do-young went to second base, it could have been a tie chance. Kim Do-young ran and lived at second base. But this time, I got my right hamstring. If you run while paying attention to the original injured left side, you will inevitably put a load on the other side.
Immediately, the trainer ran out and checked Kim Do-young's condition. And immediately the decision was made to replace it. If Kim Do-young's hamstring injury recurs and he is absent for a long time, he will face the worst situation for KIA, which is already struggling with falling to eighth place. Considering the situation of KIA, where major hitters such as Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin and Wisdom are missing due to injuries, only sighs can be seen.
Kim Do-young was immediately transferred to a club-designated hospital for an MRI examination. The results of the examination came out after the game. I didn't miss my expectations. Right hamstring injury. An official from KIA said, `We will inform the more accurate results of the examination through cross-examination on the 28th.' Only one day will tell how damaged the muscle is and how much time it will take for treatment and rehabilitation.
Once the damage has been found, it is concluded that even if it is a first degree damage, it will take at least three weeks. He came back a month after getting hurt in the opening game. And I ran for a month. And Kim Do-young is in danger of taking a month off again.
