Another bad news occurred for the KIA Tigers, who are crying due to the terrible injury evil spirit this season. Starting pitcher Yoon Young-chul was examined for elbow problems.
An KIA official announced during the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 10th that `Yoon Young-chul's participation in the All-Star Game became difficult.'
Yoon was scheduled to join the Nanum All-Star team as a coach-recommended player at the All-Star Game in Daejeon over the weekend. Originally, foreign pitcher Oler was scheduled to play as an All-Star, but Oler felt an elbow problem and was replaced by Yoon Young-chul. However, Yoon Young-chul was also unable to play due to his poor elbow.
Yoon Young-chul started in the first of three consecutive games against Hanwha on the 8th. However, he became a losing pitcher with four runs (two earned runs) in two innings. Since the beginning of this season, he has struggled with his unique sharp control and game management, but he has gradually stabilized throughout the season. In particular, starting with the Samsung Lions match on May 25 and the LG Twins match on June 29, they recorded 2 wins and 1 loss in 7 games, and all 6 games except for the Kiwoom Heroes match on June 24th threw more than 5 innings and scored less than 3 runs.
However, there was a reason why Hanwha showed turbulence again. Something that had elbow problems. Yoon Young-chul is being checked at more than two hospitals in a hurry. The exact condition of Yoon Young-chul can be known only when the cross-check results come out, but it is certain that his participation in the All-Star Game has failed.
KIA will have to do a good job this season due to key players such as Kim Do-young, Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin and Kwak Do-kyu. Not only the main players, but also Yoon Do-hyun and Park Jung-woo are leaving for a long time. In the three consecutive games in Daejeon, even veteran Choi Hyung-woo, who was fighting hard by holding out, is absent due to hamstring problems.
