Kiwoom Heroes (CEO Wi Jae-min) pitcher Joo Seung-woo will undergo reconstructive surgery at Sejong Sports Orthopedic Clinic on the 22nd (Friday).

Joo Seung-woo, who took the mound in the top of the ninth inning against Doosan Bears at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th (Sun), was replaced due to right elbow discomfort while pitching. On the 11th (Monday) of the following day, two detailed examinations revealed damage to the ligament in the right elbow.

It is expected to take about a year to return, including rehabilitation after surgery. The club plans to provide support for Joo Seung-woo to return healthy.




Before the expiration of the first-team entry, Joo Seung-woo said "It's a pity that we can't be together until the end of the season." I will do my best in rehabilitation and come back healthy."

Joo Seung-woo, who has double-digit saves last season and is playing as the team's must-win team, has a 2.45 ERA with 16 saves and 5 holds in 42 appearances this season.
