This year, he has never been included in Pilseungjo. It has been more than a month 스포츠토토since he was expelled from District 1.
However, interest in Lotte Giants Choi Jun-yong (22) is still hot. Although he never went to fall baseball, the impact Choi Jun-yong showed in the 2020-2022 season was that strong.
Choi Jun-yong appeared at the dugout of Sajik Stadium ahead of the Busan Hanwha Eagles game on the 14th. It is no wonder that the attention of the reporters was focused.
He has not been able to rise to the first team since he was erased due to microinflammation in the back on May 17th. The bright smile that filled his face was still there. After lightly greeting the reporters, he headed to the bullpen.
Given the current schedule, it is not very likely that Choi Jun-yong will return in the first half. The same was true of Lotte manager Larry Sutton’s answer that day.
“Choi Jun-yong had a long toss drill today. It was a procedure for pitching coaches to check how much Choi Jun-yong’s recovery had progressed.
Choi Jun-yong, who created a sensation in the Lotte bullpen, receiving praise as ‘the best fastball in the league’. Even at the beginning of last year, he dreamed of being selected for the Hangzhou Asian Games national team, and he was active as a finishing pitcher as well as Pil Seung-jo.
However, he has hardly regained his pitch since the first half of last year. He has only digested 7 innings in 9 games this year. In the meantime, Lotte players to participate in the Asian Games were decided to be Park Se-woong and Na Kyun-ahn.
Then, when will Choi Jun-yong return to the first team? Previously, coach Sutton explained Choi Jun-yong’s recovery status as ’80-90%’. The time of his return has not been set, but it is expected to be around the All-Star Game (July 15) at Sajik Stadium.
