It's good news for NC Dinos. The main catcher Kim Hyung-joon is back.

NC formed the starting lineup of Han Seok-hyun (right wing), Kim Joo-won (fielders), Park Gun-woo (designated hitter), Davison (first baseman), Kwon Hee-dong (left wing), Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman), Chun Jin-hwan (middle fielder), Kim Hyung-joon (possessed) and Kim Han-byul (second baseman) in the home game against the LG Twins at Changwon NC Park on the 3rd.

NC, which had lowered catcher Ahn Jung-yeol to the second division on the 2nd, registered Kim Hyung-joon in the first division and immediately included him in the starting list as No. 8 catcher.




NC's main catcher, Kim Hyung-joon, was grounded out in front of the third baseman at the top of the ninth inning of the game against the Doosan Bears on the 23rd of last month, when he suffered a torn finger on his left hand. He was replaced by Park Se-hyuk of the defense team in the bottom of the ninth inning and later sutured at the hospital.

It took about two weeks to recover, so Kim Hyung-joon was canceled from the first team entry the next day, but returned to the first team after 10 days.

As Kim Hyung-joon was injured, NC had to suffer from catcher difficulties as catchers were injured one after another. Park Se-hyuk, the second catcher, went down to the second team due to sudden back pain during training, and even Ahn Jung-yeol was hit on the left wrist by the pitch.




In the end, as soon as Kim Jung-ho, who joined the team in 2021, was called up for his first first team, there was a situation where he was the starting catcher.

Director Lee Ho-joon said "(Kim) Hyung-jun is back even though he didn't solve the thread"I didn't even think it would take two weeks just to untangle the thread, but he hit the bat himself and received the ball," he said, admiring Kim Hyung-joon's fighting spirit.
