Eui-ji Yang, the core of Doosan Bears’ power, returned to the first team stage after recovering from an injury.
Doosan registered Yang Eui-ji and Kim Tae-geun as first-team entries prior to the 12th game of 스포츠토토 the season against Kiwoom Heroes of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 22nd. Following infielder Park Ji-hoon’s expungement on the 21st, Ahn Jae-seok was left out of the entry on this day.
Yang Eui-ji was canceled from the entry due to a partial tear in the side muscle on the 8th, and has been focusing on rehabilitation. He has led Doosan’s batting line with a batting average of 0.323 (94 hits in 291 at-bats), 9 homers, 44 RBIs and an OPS of 0.906 in 87 games this season, but was unable to play for two weeks due to an injury.
After Yang Eui-ji left due to injury, Doosan suffered from extreme emptiness with a team batting average of 0.236 in 10 games. During this period, it was shaken with 3 wins and 7 losses, and the season 50 wins, 51 losses and 1 draw, the win rate collapsed to 50%. As they were chased without a ride by the 6th place KIA Tigers, the competition to advance to the postseason became more difficult.
With the return of Yang Eui-ji, Doosan was able to add weight to the other line. However, since Yang Eui-ji joined the first team immediately without going through the Futures League game, he plans to take care of it so that he can gradually recover his sense of actual combat.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “Yang Eui-ji was registered as a first-team entry, but it seems difficult to start as a catcher in three consecutive matches against Kiwoom this week.” It’s a careful area to write,” he said.
In addition, “Yang Eui-ji is only put in pinch hit today. I will not digest the catcher’s defense,” he said. “Even Yang Eui-ji on the bench is a great help to the team. think,” he said.
Yang Eui-ji is still moving her body carefully. Coach Lee Seung-yeop added, “I saw Yang Eui-ui batting training, but he is not hitting with 100% power.”
On the other hand, Doosan had Jo Su-haeng (center fielder) – Kim Jae-ho (shortstop) – Rojas (left fielder) – Yang Seok-hwan (1st baseman) – Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter) – Kim In-tae (right fielder) – Kang Seung-ho (2nd baseman) – Jang Seung-hyeon (catcher) – Heo Kyung-min (third baseman) formed the starting lineup. Ace Raul Alcantara will start as a starting pitcher.
