The NC Dinos are on high alert. This is because there was a problem with the two center hitters.

NC made an entry change ahead of the KT Wiz match at Changwon NC Park on the 24th. Lee Yong-chan, Mok Ji-hoon and Kim Tae-hoon were registered, and Cho Min-seok, Do Tae-hoon and Son Ah-seop were canceled.

What stands out is Son Ah Seop. I played as a substitute in the game on the 23rd, but I was curious about the background of the sudden cancellation of the entry.

Coach Lee Ho-joon, who met ahead of the game, said "The right flank muscle was damaged. Grade 1 was found" he said. I didn't get hurt during the game on the 23rd. It is said that he recently said that his side is not good. However, on the morning of the 24th, he received a hospital examination under the direction of coach Lee, who sensed that the game bat was unusual. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with damage to my abdominal muscles.

Son Ah-seop appeared in 76 games this season and hit a batting average of 300, showing off his robustness as a veteran. However, from the end of the first half, the batting average of the last 10 games was not good with a .233 batting average, and there was a reason.

In addition, the news of Davison, a foreign hitter, is also bad news. Davison was injured when Davison collided with his opponent Lee Jae-hyun against the Samsung Lions on the 8th. Rib incontinence as a result of the examination. NC did not seek a short-term alternative foreign hitter as it judged that it could return within two to three weeks at the earliest. However, as a result of the re-examination on the 22nd, I heard that the recovery was slow. Director Lee said, `I think it will take up to six weeks from the day I got hurt. I'm worried that Davison and Son Ah-seop are all out. I think I'll have to endure it with my gums from the beginning of the second half."

It's a pity that we didn't get a short-term replacement quickly. Director Lee said "I understand that the leader recognizes from one side to the other." As coach Lee said, six weeks from the day he was injured means that he has to play without a foreign hitter for at least a month because two weeks have passed now.

On the other hand, manager Lee threw well in the second division against veteran pitcher Lee Yong-chan who came up on the day. I wonder how to throw it, too. For now, we plan to deploy it as a pursuit team and gradually increase the weight. I hope he'll stop me for about an inning", he explained.
