"It's not what I thought it would be"

The NC Dinos excluded Hong Jong-pyo from the first team entry for the first time in seven games. NC removed infielder Hong Jong-pyo from the entry on the 11th, which was a day off, and registered infielder Kim Han-byeol.

Hong Jong-pyo, who changed his uniform through a 3-3 trade with the KIA Tigers on the 28th of last month, played in seven games since his transfer as an infield defense and operational agent. However, he had time to reorganize in the second division.




NC manager Lee Ho-joon, who met with reporters ahead of the Doosan Bears match in Jamsil on the 12th, said "In the game on the 10th, (Park) Min-woo had a bad back and pelvis, so he asked for a replacement after the 5th inning. So I put it in, but we don't want a bat from Hong Jong-pyo right now. I was looking forward to the defense, but there was a little bit of anxiety. "Hanbyul is much safer with defense now, and he can fill shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman. (Kim) Hwijip also has not 100% of his hamstring right now, so if he does it wrong, someone may have to be put on third base. In many ways, he explained, "I thought it was right to drop the bell considering those aspects."

My first second leg since transfer. Coach Lee Ho-joon also delivered a clear message to Hong Jong-pyo. Director Lee `said directly as he sent it down. I don't think it's what I thought Hong Jong-pyo was. I told him to go down and train more, and get back to his original form. In this situation, it is not a situation that can be used here (in the first team)," he said, clearly conveying the intention contained in the second group.
