Hwang Dong-ha (23, KIA Tigers) got into a car accident. This is a big negative factor for KIA.먹튀검증
According to an MBC report on the 8th, Hwang Dong-ha injured his back after being hit by a car while crossing a crosswalk in Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. It is expected that the injury will take more than six weeks to recover. As the traffic accident occurred, it seems that there is enough time to check and take care of the body as a whole.
KIA had rest on Sunday after nine consecutive games on Children's Day. The last three consecutive games were the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. The team had moved to Incheon immediately. The team will play three consecutive away games against SSG Landers on Saturday.
Hwang Dong-ha is a right-handed pitcher who graduated from Impression High School and joined the team as the 65th player in the second round of the seventh round in 2022. He made his first-team debut in 2023, and has been a swingman between the starting lineup and the starting lineup for the past two years. He started as a long reliever this season, but has recently joined the starting lineup due to Yoon's poor performance. He has one win, two losses and an earned run average of 5.52 in 13 games.
Hwang Dong-ha's biggest advantage is that his pitching tempo is fast. Although there was a weakness that the pitching manual was simple, he has been stably using sliders, fork balls, and curves in recent years. His speed was around 140 kilometers until last year, but this year his speed increased to the late 140 kilometers. According to Statistics Korea, the average speed of four-seam fastballs was 141.7 kilometers last year, but 144.1 kilometers this year.
Yoon Young-chul recently returned to the top tier after a reorganization of the second tier team. However, Lee Bum-ho continued to show his willingness to give Hwang Dong-ha the fifth starter. However, Hwang's sudden injury has left KIA to agonize over another starting position. As Hwang does not return immediately, a clear alternative seems necessary.
The easiest choice would be Yoon's return to the starting lineup. In the first place, coach Lee Bum-ho said he would use Yoon as a long relief pitcher to prevent two to three innings in the first team, and then use him as a temporary starter to check his performance, depending on circumstances. As Hwang Dong-ha is out right away, however, there is a chance that Yoon will have a chance.
Meanwhile, Lee Eui-ri has entered the final stage of his rehabilitation with the goal of mid-June. However, Lee is not in a physical condition to pitch in the first team immediately. Even after returning, he is a pitcher who has to manage the number of pitches and innings thoroughly, so it is not a clear card that can fill the void in Hwang Dong-ha.
KIA is having a hard time this season. Kim Do-young, Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin reunited at the end of April and took a breather. However, due to Kwak Do-gyu's season out and Na Sung-bum's calf injury, the team cannot fully mobilize. Yang Hyeon-jong is poised to shake off his sluggish performance, while Yoon Young-cheol also came back from a reorganization of the second division, and the mound was poised to gain strength in earnest, but unexpected bad news broke out again.
