There is a variable in the complete selection of KT Wiz Patrick. It's a minor injury.

Regarding Patrick's next pitching schedule prior to the Samsung match held at KT Wiz Park on the 27th, KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul said, `We will have to wait a little longer. It's a little bad, so the decision hasn't been made yet."

On the 23rd, the previous appearance, he was slightly upset when he made his debut against NC.




Manager Lee said, `When I slide while bunt defense that day, there's nothing wrong, but it keeps getting a little stiff.' `So we may have to change the schedule. Anyway, if I throw it, I threw about 50 on that day, so wouldn't I throw about 60 to 70 pitches this time?"

Patrick, who is increasing the number of pitches, was scheduled to start against Jamsil LG on Tuesday, the 29th.

But I can't guarantee it yet. For now, the most likely scenario is to take the mound about a day later than scheduled.

You can switch with Oh Won-seok, who is scheduled to be selected on Wednesday, the 30th.

Director Lee Kang-chul said, `I don't think Tuesday will work. There is a (Oh) gemstone on Tuesday. Wonseok took enough rest, so he was going to throw it on Wednesday, but it doesn't matter if he pulls it. If it's not even the next day, I think I'll have to go as a substitute starter."

Patrick's healthy starting rotation is an important variable for KT, which is in a fierce ranking battle.

When Patrick makes a soft landing, Cho Hyung-joon, who has only a few innings (130 innings) left this season, can drop his starting position and switch to the bullpen. This is why we are keeping a close eye on Patrick's physical condition.




For now, I am optimistic that it will not be a big problem, but I must not let my guard down as small injuries can shake the balance.
