"15 billion FA"
Meanwhile, in the match against KT Wiz in Gwangju on the 24th, Choi Hyung-woo (40), the oldest fielder, was found to have fractured collarbone during the first examination, effectively ending the season.
All three players are key resources for KIA fielders. Park Chan-ho, who has been in charge of leadoff-strike, has a batting average of .302 ri (125 hits in 414 at-bats), three home runs, 48 RBIs and 29 steals, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.740 in 120 games of the season. It was the site of continuing the 'career high' pace amid remarkable growth in hitting, which was pointed out as a weakness. Na Sung-bum, who started the season about two months late due to a left calf injury after the 2023 WBC (World Baseball Classic), was raising his pace sharply with a batting average of 365 (81 hits in 222 at-bats) 16 home runs, 57 RBIs and 1.098 OPS in 58 games. Choi Hyung-woo, who had been sluggish in the last two seasons, played a pivotal role in KIA's fall baseball for the second consecutive year as he rejuvenated this year with a batting average of .321 (130 hits in 431 at-bats) of 17 home runs and 81 RBIs and an OPS of .887.
However, as all of them fell out, KIA's batting lineup lost power. Park Chan-ho is on the first division entry as he recovers quickly, but he only plays the role of a pinch runner and a large defense, and it is still too much to hit 100%. Na Sung-beom Choi Hyung-woo has become difficult to return during the season due to injury.
KIA has been hampered by injuries throughout this season. Along with Na Sung-beom, Kim Do-young left for about two months due to a fracture in the opening two games. Ahead of this season, new recruits Sean Anderson and Adonis Medina also failed to show normal condition, and even finisher Jung Hae-young was in trouble. Park Chan-ho endured the first half with a wrist and Kim Sun-bin with a minor ankle injury. In the second half of the year, Mario Sanchez suffered elbow pain and Lee Eui-ri suffered from shoulder inflammation and suffered from finger blisters, causing problems in the composition of the starting rotation. There is no time to operate 100% of the power throughout the two-hitter.
The prospect of KIA's fall baseball challenge in the second half and for the second consecutive year, which lasted in the first half, was still positive. In the first half of the season, he continued his fight in the middle ranks despite his injury and slump, and at the end, Na Sung-bum Kim Do-young returned and gained momentum as he made a winning move to replace both foreign pitchers. Based on this, he once won nine consecutive games in the second half of the year and crossed the top ranks. However, he seems to have lost momentum again as he failed to shake off the evil spirit of injury.
Other teams have similar views. KBO League manager Han said, "There are teams that don't work out one or two teams every season, and that's KIA this season," adding, "If the normal power has been operated properly, it's not a team that will be in the current rankings."토토���이트
With 20 games left in the regular season, KIA is one game behind SSG Landers, which spans the five-team Maginot Line. Will KIA be able to enjoy the joy of fall baseball for the second consecutive year amid bad luck and string injuries.
