Kiwoom Heroes’ rising rookie shortstop Lee Jae-sang is out with an unexpected injury. Kiwoom has lost another star player.

Lee Jae-sang was hit on the fourth finger of his right hand while practicing defense before the game against Gocheok Lotte on April 14.

The club said, “He underwent two medical examinations yesterday (Nov. 14) and today (Nov. 15) and was found to have a fracture. He will undergo surgery at Kim Sang-soo Micro Clinic on the 16th. The recovery period is expected to take four weeks,” the club announced.

Lee joined Kiwoom in the second round (16th overall) of the 2024 Rookie Draft and is expected to be a big shortstop. 안전놀이터 In three years as a high school shortstop at Seongnam High School, Lee batted .189 (59-for-59) with two home runs, 44 RBIs, 34 runs scored, eight doubles, and an .843 OPS in 58 games.

In six exhibition games in Taiwan,

He went 4-for-7 (12-for-5) with one RBI and one run scored, and in exhibition games he went 1-for-5 (16-for-2) with two runs scored and a .451 OPS, but he showed promise and made the Opening Day roster.

Lee Jae-sang, a rookie who was pushing Kim Hwi-jip, the starting shortstop last year, out of the starting lineup, was batting 2-for-3 with one home run, six RBIs and a .616 OPS in 11 games. He hit his first career home run against SSG in Munhwa on April 10 against ace Kim Kwang-hyun.

In 11 games (69 innings) at shortstop, he has yet to commit a single error and has shown solid defense.

However, with Lee Jae-sang’s injury absence, 바카라사이트 추천 Ki has temporarily lost the engine of his rise. However, with Kim Hwijip as an alternative, Lee Jae-sang’s injury absence shouldn’t be too much of a concern.
