SSG Kim Seong-hyun, technical training available in 2-3 weeks

SSG Landers infielder Kim Seong-hyun is progressing smoothly with rehabilitation.

Seong-Hyun Kim started as the second batter and third baseman in the second game of the double header against the LG Twins in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 21st, and was replaced by pinch runner Kyung-Mo Choi in the bottom of the 7th inning.

Kim Seong-hyun, who was at bat as the leadoff hitter at the time, was unable to play the entire game as he complained of pain after being hit on his left wrist by LG Woo Kang-hoon's pitch. Afterwards, SSG and Kim Seong-hyun observed the progress, but the swelling did not go down easily. In the end, Kim Seong-hyun was expunged from the 1st team entry on the 24th.

Afterwards, Kim Seong-hyun was diagnosed with a microfracture in his left wrist through a hospital examination on the 24th, and the next day, he checked again at a specialized hospital in Seoul, but received the same findings.

SSG and Kim Seong-hyun, who did not want the injury gap to be prolonged, talked about a quick return, and underwent rehabilitation at Iijima Hospital in Japan for 12 days and 10 nights from the 29th of last month to the 10th of May.

Kim Seong-hyun, who returned to Korea on the 10th, underwent a hospital examination on the morning of the 11th and was told that the condition of his fracture had improved. The club explains that if there are no major problems, he is expected to be able to begin technical training in two to three weeks.

Seong-Hyun Kim quietly performed his role by playing in more than 100 games for 10 consecutive seasons from 2014 to last year. In 19 games this season, he has 13 hits in 56 at-bats, a batting average of 0.232, 5 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.606. He was responsible for one of the pillars of SSG's infield based on stable defense until he was injured. When Choi Jeong was away due to an injury in the middle of last month, he played third base defense perfectly and showed off his veteran appearance.

After Kim Seong-hyun's injury, young infielders such as Park Ji-hwan and Jeong Jun-jae were given the opportunity to play. It is true that he has clearly made a mark in front of the head coach, but the team has a long way to go and is waiting for Kim Seong-hyun's return.

However, the head coach expects the existing players to be active until Kim Seong-hyun's return. After the 5th game of the season against the KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to be played at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on the 11th, was canceled due to rain, SSG coach Lee Soong-yong said, "We will hire whoever it is. If there is no player, the remaining players will do well. The existing players will do well." “I prepared well,” he said.

If the game had started normally, infielder Choi Kyung-mo was scheduled to start as the ninth hitter and second baseman that day. Coach Lee said, "Coaches are also human, so it's better to be bright rather than gloomy, but if someone makes someone burst out laughing, they often just laugh and move on. Among coaches, pitching coach Bae Young-soo plays that role. I think the atmosphere should always be good. “(Choi) Kyung-mo has a good personality, and it’s nice to see him always smiling and greeting the director,” he said, praising Choi Kyung-mo.
