Kim Young-woong was excluded from the selection of the SSG Landers on April 30 and struck out as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning, and was excluded from the first-team entry due to fine damage to his right adductor muscle on the 1st.
Kim Young-woong, who was known as a new home run hitter with a batting average of 0.252 and 28 homers and 79 RBIs last year, played in 31 games this season and had a batting average of 0.268 with 5 homers and 21 RBIs. The batting average was not very high, but he still helped the team with his long-shot power and RBI ability.
He is scheduled to return to the first team in 10 days due to a minor injury. If there is no problem, Kim Young-woong, who will return to the first division in a home game against the LG Twins in Daegu on the 11th, will start the countdown to his return by playing in the Futures League game on the 7th.
Kim Young-woong started the Futures League game against KT Wiz in Gyeongsan on the 7th and recorded no hits in 5 at-bats.
Kim Young-woong, who faced KT starter Kim Tae-oh in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, hit a 130-km slider for the second pitch in 1S, but was out with a ground ball rolling in front of the second baseman. He came out as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the third inning and hit the third pitch on a fly to shortstop.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, he met left-handed Kwon Sung-joon. The fifth slider in 2B2S became an ordinary ground ball in front of the second base.
Kim Young-woong, who met right-handed Moon Yong-ik in the bottom of the seventh inning, was struck out by a 146km fastball high outside in the 1B2S, and Kim Young-woong, who came to the fifth at-bat in an RBI opportunity with two outs and third base after making a 6-5 turnaround with Park Seung-kyu's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning, swung and missed on a breaking ball in a showdown with right-hander Jang Min-ho. He struck out again.
KT tied the game in the top of the ninth inning and extended the game. In the top of the 10th inning, KT scored a large number of five points and won 11-7. There was a possibility that Kim Young-woong would take the batter's box once more in the bottom of the 10th inning, but the game ended with No. 1 hitter Park Seung-gyu being caught on a shortstop fly.
