Will the NC Dinos be able to counterattack in the second half of the year. How will Koo Chang-mo show his performance.
NC manager Lee Ho-joon, who met at Changwon NC Park on the 24th, said "Don't even ask the coach about his condition." (Old) Chang-mo affirmed to the trainer that if he says, `It's done, we're going to put him in the first team then.'
On this day, injured players, including Koo Chang-mo, visited NC Park and talked with coach Lee Ho-joon. Lee Ho-joon told Koo Chang-mo "Don't overdo it, I'll try ' until there's no pain."' If I do it, I'll set a return date then."
"When the reporters come, the reporters are curious, I keep asking, and the coach is asking how things are these days, so he must be stressed out." Chang-mo himself tries to think there's no such thing until he says 'I'm done' I said I don't have to come this year."
The ace sent to the South Korean military athletic unit (Sangmu) only took the mound in five games in two years. NC is bound to be full of worries. The goal was to start ahead of his discharge in June and join the team immediately after his return.

However, he stopped pitching for more than two months after being hit by a hit in the shoulder. In the end, the game against the Lotte Giants' second division on the 12th became the last game when he was in Sangmu. At this time, the fastball speed hit a maximum of 145 kilometers. After being discharged from the military, he concluded that his physical condition was not problematic even in the bullpen pitching of 25 pitches on the 19th and 40 pitches on the 21st.
The problem is the player's own anxiety. Manager Lee Ho-joon said, `I was thinking of finding out when I would be registered for the first team after being discharged from the military, and using it against the LG Twins the day after I was discharged. But as the discharge date approached, it didn't come out well in the second-tier game, and all of a sudden, my muscles clumped up," he said, blurring his words.
In the end, after being discharged from the military, he decided to give him a chance to prepare until he threw more than 80 pitches in the second division. The conclusion that the period of increasing the number of pitches is not a big problem as long as the physical condition is okay. As long as it doesn't hurt anyway, he is a proven ace.

An NC team official said "We're not going to use Koo Chang-mo as a middle or finish. He explained, "The process of raising his physical condition as much as possible and building up the number of pitches."
Coach Lee Ho-joon also said, `NC is not playing baseball with just Koo Chang-mo. I'll be waiting for you," he reiterated.
