LG Twins left-hander Son Joo-young (26), who spent his career high season and struggled on the first fall baseball stage, was diagnosed with an elbow injury.
"Son Joo-young was diagnosed with a left elbow flexor muscle and a left endothelial muscle as a result of MRI and hospital examination," LG said on Tuesday. "We will discuss with the national team whether to participate in the Premier 12 or not," he added.
The team said it will discuss whether Son will join the national team, but it will not be easy in reality. If Son, who just started his first full-time season as a starter and has jumped to the top left-hander in the league, gets too much injury, not only LG but also the national team will suffer from afar.토토사이트
Son Joo-young, who graduated from Kyungnam High School and wore the LG uniform with high expectations as the second runner-up in the second round of the 2017 rookie draft, has full potential this season, which marks her eighth year as a member of the team. She has emerged as LG's new native left-handed ace, who has lost steam since Bong Jung-geun, with a record of 9 wins, 10 losses and 1 hold average ERA of 3.79 in 28 games (27 starts). She ranks eighth overall in the league, second in domestic pitchers after Samsung Lions' Won Tae-in (3.66), and first in domestic left-handed starters, beating Hanwha Eagles' Ryu Hyun-jin (3.87).
Son Joo-young, who has been active as the "5 strongest starters in the league," was listed on the preliminary list of 60 Premier 12 "Team Korea" submitted by the KBO Power Enhancement Committee to the World Baseball Softball Association (WBSC) on September 12.
Son Joo-young, who achieved her best performance in her first full-time season and also joined the national team's reserve list, was also active in the postseason. Son Joo-young, who took the mound after Choi Won-tae in Game 3 of the semi-playoff (semi-PO) on the 8th, his debut in autumn baseball, contributed to his team's 6-5 come-from-behind victory with two hits, no outs, seven strikeouts and no runs in five ⅓ innings. Son Joo-young, who made a brilliant comeback, was honored to be named the Daily MVP in her postseason debut.
Son, who took the mound as the second pitcher after Lim Chan-kyu in the fifth round of the semi-PO, contributed significantly to his team's 4-1 victory and advance to the playoffs by allowing one walk and four strikeouts in two innings. His performance in two semi-PO games was perfect with one win and one hold with an ERA of "0."
Maybe it is because he put too much effort into the bullpen. The rise of semi-PO did not continue until PO. Starting the second round of PO against the Samsung Lions, Son became the losing pitcher by allowing five hits (one homer) and two walks, five strikeouts and four runs (three earned runs) in four ⅓ innings. After three days' rest, he failed to secure ball power and defense.
In the fourth game on Wednesday, he pitched in the seventh inning following Detrick N.C., and lost again with one hit (one homer) and two strikeouts and one run during the first ⅔. What was more regrettable than the pitch itself was the injury. After dealing with Jeon Byung-woo and Lee Jae-hyun after the homer, Son showed signs of discomfort somewhere. Eventually, Son raised his hand to the dugout and complained of abnormal physical conditions, and voluntarily left the mound after talking with his trainer and coach.
Son Joo-young said, "It took eight years for me to pitch properly in front of the fans. As it took a long time, I will throw in the LG Twins uniform for a long time. I am so grateful to the LG Twins fans and the LG Twins team for waiting," adding, "We have experienced a lot this season and still lack a lot, but we will prepare well to do better next season. And I sincerely thank the training part that helped me throw healthy without missing a single rotation." "My arm is in good condition when I rest well, so I have no problem in preparing for next season. I will work hard and see you in the 2025 season," he said, reassuring the fans that he was not seriously injured.
Team Korea, which has started a generational change since last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, is looking for a new left-hander in the national team, breaking away from the left-hander trio of Ryu Hyun-jin, Kim Kwang-hyun and Yang Hyun-jong, who have been regulars in the national team. Lee Eui-ri (KIA Tigers) was the first to stand out, but was not included in the entry due to injury.
A total of four left-handed pitchers, including Son Joo-young and Choi Seung-yong (Doosan Bears), Kwak Do-kyu and Choi Ji-min (KIA), were selected on the 35-member list of training call-ups announced on the 11th. Among them, two are Son Joo-young and Choi Seung-yong. If Son Joo-young leaves due to injury, only Choi Seung-yong will be left as a left-handed starter.
Under the current rules, additional entry changes can be made until the opening game. The committee will focus on each player during the postseason and call-up drills to confirm the final 28 players. Team Korea is agonizing over the injury of Son Joo-young, who has been spotlighted as the next-generation left-handed ace to succeed Ryu, Kim and Yang.
