"I had surgery. I've just joined the rehab."

Lotte Giants canceled catcher Yoo Kang-nam ahead of the Daegu Samsung Lions match on the 17th, when the game was canceled due to rain. Yoo Kang-nam was hit on the shoulder of the batter's foul ball, and he was diagnosed with a clavicle microfracture, making it impossible to play.

With existing catchers such as Information-geun and Son Sung-bin not showing any performance, Lotte was able to withstand Yoo Kang-nam's willingness to rebound this season. The departure from Yoo Kangnam is a big negative factor.




Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met ahead of the NC Dinos match to be held at Changwon NC Park on the 19th, said, `I'm going to turn the number of catches to three.' Son Seong-bin, Information-geun, and Park Gun-woo are the main characters.

However, there is a player that comes to mind when Yoo Kang-nam is out. Park Jae-yeop, a high school graduate rookie.

Park Jae-yeop was a sensational player who started against Hanwha Eagles on June 18 and hit a picturesque three-run home run and defended with a bold lead. Manager Kim, a former catcher, praised it, saying, `Having a catcher is much better than previous seniors.'




Since then, he has gone back and forth between the first and second teams, but has disappeared since his last appearance on July 30. A card that can be taken out again because there is no catcher. But there was no news.

There was a reason. It was an injury. Park Jae-yeop suffered an unexpected injury in the Futures match against the KIA Tigers in Hampyeong on the 6th of last month. A collision occurred while trying to catch a fly ball, and the collision led to a diagnosis of a fracture of the proximal tibia in the right knee. He went straight to the operating table and has just recovered.

Director Kim said "I heard that he had undergone surgery and had just joined the rehabilitation team. If I hadn't been hurt, I would have been in the first team."
