Can we see 'Four Hundred' again.

When KT Wiz's Kang Baek-ho returns, which position should he play.

Kang Baekho is coming back. For KT, which has to fight a fierce ranking battle in the second half of the year, it is nice to have a player who can be a big help in the bat.




Kang Baek-ho injured his right ankle while playing base running against the Doosan Bears on May 27. a major injury called a torn ankle ligament. I was away for nearly two months.

Although he was sluggish in the preliminary FA season with a batting average of 255, seven home runs and 23 RBIs, the weight of KT's batters changes depending on whether Kang Baek-ho is present or not. The pressure on the opponent is also bound to increase. While Ahn Hyun-min has established himself as the third batter, it is burdensome for the opposing battery to think that Kang Baek-ho is behind it.

Kang Baek-ho was scheduled to play in the Futures game against the Hampyeong KIA Tigers on the 18th. However, the game was canceled due to rain. The important thing is that I'm now in the body to play the actual game. KT manager Lee Kang-chul said, `It is said that Kang Baek-ho will enter the Futures game immediately whether the fire has fallen on his foot. I think the return will be faster." This means that if he is no longer away, he will have no choice but to hurry his return to the sense of crisis that dark clouds could hang on the FA jackpot front.

Director Lee said "When I checked with the rehabilitation team, it was 100% of the time to run. I was reported to be in perfect physical condition. If you play three to four games in practice, you can return. I think it will come by the end of July", he explained.

Kang Baek-ho has been a catcher from time to time since last year. This season, he trained as a catcher in the spring camp and tried to increase the proportion of catchers. As a result, 'FA 10 billion KRW' theory came out. If you play as a catcher with the least supply and demand, the value of the player will inevitably increase.

However, coach Lee is agonizing over which position he should play when he returns. Coach Lee asked our data and power analysis team to think about what position to take in the future. We should also listen to the coaching staff's opinions. When the conclusion comes out, I will also talk to myself. When we say we're signing an FA contract, we have to look into the future and decide our position carefully. The problem is that if you go to first base, you can't use three or four other players, so it's ambiguous. We have to think about it in many ways."




If he plays only as a designated hitter, Kang Baek-ho will also want to have a defensive position, and other players cannot take a defensive break. It is good to serve as Jang Sung-woo's backup catcher, but due to the nature of the position where he has to rest for a long time, his sense has fallen and he has to sit and stand up again, it can be a strain on his injured ankle. Currently, KT's three-man catcher system of Jang Sung-woo, Cho Dae-hyun, and Kang Hyun-woo is working well.
