Kim Jin-wook was scheduled to join the military in December last year after receiving a notice of acceptance after applying for the Sangmu baseball team. He had to cancel his enlistment after being diagnosed with partial rupture of the medial ligament in his left elbow in mid-November last year.
Since then, he has steadily recovered his physical condition through rehabilitation training and treatment, and has participated in the spring camp to show better-than-expected conditions.
An elbow injury is one of the fatal injuries to a pitcher, which can greatly affect his recovery process and his performance after returning. However, Kim Jin-wook has given hope to his team by pitching without allowing a run while maintaining a stable pitching mechanism through a thorough rehabilitation process.
Meanwhile, Na Kyun-an, who took the mound as the second pitcher after Kim Jin-wook, recorded one hit (one home run), one walk, one strikeout, and one run in one ⅔ inning.
In the batting lineup, Hwang Sung-bin (2 hits in 5 at-bats), Ko Seung-min (2 hits in 3 at-bats), Son Ho-young (3 hits in 5 at-bats), and Victor Reyes (2 hits in 3 at-bats) showed off their active batting skills with multiple hits.
Lotte is preparing to make a leap forward in the new season through the stabilization of the entire pitching staff along with Kim Jin-wook's healthy return.
