NC will play the second game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park on the 27th.

NC excluded Park Gun-woo from the first-team entry for the match. Instead, Kim Han-byeol was registered.

In the third inning of the previous day’s match against Lotte, Park was replaced after being hit on the right wrist by Lotte’s 146km fastball. Earlier, he was also hit on the side in the bottom of the first inning. In addition to Park, NC had to suffer from four dune hits including Kim Joo-won and Kim Sung-wook in the seventh inning.

The problem is that Park Kun-woo’s wrist is suspected of being fractured. “I took a CT scan yesterday at Cheonga Hospital, a club-designated hospital in Masan, and I found a suspected fracture, and I found another fracture at the radiology department today,” NC manager Kang In-kwon said.

So far, Park has been diagnosed only with a CT scan since it is the weekend. Park will visit an orthopedic clinic in Seoul on Monday for further diagnosis.

NC’s Son Ah-seop left earlier due to a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. Following Son Ah-seop, another leading hitter of the batting lineup will leave. The head coach’s anxiety hits the sky. Shin Min-hyuk, one of the pillars of the selection, is also not serious, but he skipped the rotation once. Moreover, this is the time when the fiercest ranking fight is taking place to determine the farming season.

Coach Kang In-kwon said, “I was most worried about the players’ injuries…He said, “I’m upset.”

“If young players gather their minds well and pass this important period even though they are not there, wouldn’t the team’s concentration be better?” he added. “I plan to use players more according to the game situation.”

Still, Kim Sung-wook, who played in place of Park Gun-woo the previous day, relieved his worries a little by scoring four RBIs, including a three-run wedge. “Thanks to everyone’s concentration, the atmosphere at the end of the game came to us,” coach Kang In-kwon said. “I hope you will continue to fill up your regrets and have a good game.”

For now, NC has focused on right-handed batters, targeting left-handed starters Barnes. The team consists of Kim Sung-wook (center fielder), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Davison (first baseman), Kwon Hee-dong (right fielder), Kim Hwi-jip (designated hitter), Park Han-gyeol (left fielder), Kim Hyung-joon (captor), Kim Ju-won (fielders), and Park Min-woo (second baseman). The starting lineup is Kim Si-hoon.
