"I thought the sliding was a bit wild...."

Ahead of the game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers in Incheon on the 21st, the Doosan Bears canceled outfielder Hong Sung-ho pitcher Choi Min-seok and Kim Yoo-sung from the first-team entry, and registered starting pitchers Choi Seung-yong and Choi Ji-gang infielder Yang Seok-hwan.

Acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan sighed at the story of Hong Seong-ho (28). Hong Sung-ho, who came to the first team on the 9th, hit .346 with two home runs and an OPS (long hit + on base) of 0.985 in nine games.




It was the 12th that was more intense than anyone else.

He was expected to be a powerful hitter when he joined the second round of the rookie draft in 2016 (36th overall), but he rarely established himself in the first team. He showed off his outstanding batting ability by winning three hits (homer batting average RBI) in the Futures Northern League in 2023, but failed to show that in the first team.

He also continued his momentum in the first team, which showed good performance with a batting average of 278 and 11 home runs in 81 games in the Futures League this season. On the 12th, he recorded his first home run against KIA on the 12th and multiple home runs, and even a walk-off hit against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 18th.

However, in the match against Incheon SSG on the 20th, the opponent's wild pitch in the top of the fourth inning?? While running to third base, he sprained his left thumb during the sliding process. He played until the end without replacement, and also had a hit in the ninth inning. However, the next day, the swelling was considerable, and in the end, it was decided that it was difficult to play.

Acting Cho said "I thought the sliding process was a little wild at third base, but my finger was folded. The swelling is considerable, so I think I need a checkup"The examination is scheduled for tomorrow. "

the end of the season. It is not easy to return to the team for the rest of the year. Acting Cho said "If you fall out today, 10 days must pass. You don't look very good. I have to go through a checkup, but I think I need a rehabilitation process."

The 12-day performance was also welcome from the head coach's point of view, as it was in the "unfinished standby". That's how much I felt sorry for him. Acting Cho showed various aspects in a good direction with impact as he did. There was also a home run and a walk-off hit. "There were a lot of well-balanced pitches, but it's a shame."

The most heartbreaking thing was Hong Seong-ho himself. Acting Cho said "Let's get through it together." As much as I prepared hard, I showed good performance. It's a pity that I'm out with an injury. I know it's hard for you, but I think you showed everything you prepared," he said in consolation.

In addition, acting Cho "I don't know what to do. It's going to be the hardest. You'll shed a lot of tears inside. You did a good job. He showed that he worked hard and prepared well in the real Futures. If you prepare well, I think you will have a good opportunity. I said, "Let's prepare well together."
