The team seemed to wrap up its off-season training in a good mood, but the sad news spread again at the end of the camp. Lee Chang-yong (26, Samsung Lions), who was hit on the face by the previous day's strike, will fly to Korea for treatment with the camp just around the corner.안전놀이터

Samsung coach Park Jin-man met with reporters at Akama Ball Park in Onnason, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the 3rd and said, "I think I will have to return home right away on the 4th because I got my jaw sewn and incontinence went to my teeth."

Lee Chang-yong started as the fifth batter and first baseman in a practice game against the KIA Tigers on the 2nd and was hit in the face by Kim Seok-hwan's ball in the top of the 4th inning. He collapsed for a long time and complained of pain and was replaced, but manager Park Jin-man said a thorough examination was needed.

"I think I need to go to Korea as soon as possible and see the dental treatment accurately," he said on the timing of his return, adding, "I think I need to see the situation. When I arrive in Korea tomorrow, I will see the doctor in the afternoon and watch the situation."

In the process of exerting great strength at bat, a considerable amount of strength is also put on the teeth. In some cases, mouthpieces are worn to protect the teeth. Coach Park also said, "The jaw area is swollen and the movement will be uncomfortable. I heard that if you bite your teeth hard to hit, it will have a bad effect on your teeth," adding, "So I think we need to check those parts through the examination tomorrow."

It is all the more regrettable since he showed off his presence at practice games without Kim Young-woong. "He did a good job and I felt a lot of hurt, so it's a shame."

Lee Chang-yong, who debuted last year after being nominated by Samsung in 2021, only posted a batting average of 0.190 in nine games in the first division. However, it is clear that he is making efforts to create the team. He is expected to display a batting average of 0.304 with 12 homers and 41 RBIs, a on-base percentage of 0.351, a slugging percentage of 0.597 and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.948, while playing in 55 games in the Futures League.

In July last year, Samsung sent Lee Chang-yong along with pitcher Kim Sung-kyung to the U.S. draft league. He flew well with a batting average of 0.280 eight home runs and 38 RBIs in 38 games, and ranked first in homers and RBIs in his team.

At the time, Lee Chang-yong said, "I actively approached my colleagues and coaches about hitting and learned a lot," expressing confidence, "As the club gave me a good opportunity, I will repay you with good results in Korea."

Although it did not contribute to the team in autumn baseball, it is even more regrettable that he began training to improve his completeness again after the end of the season and was impressing the manager's eyes in a practice game in Okinawa.

Samsung has suffered a flurry of injuries this winter. Kim Moo-shin, who showed willingness to rebound by changing his name from Kim Yoon-soo, expressed pain in his right elbow during training sessions. Due to severe damage to the flexor muscles and medial ligament, he underwent Tommy John Surgery to reconstruct ligaments in his elbow. Infielder Yang Yang-geun also suffered a cartilage injury in his nose after being hit by a pitch during training, and returned to Korea early.

Infielder Kim Young-woong and foreign pitcher Denny Reyes, key players in the pitching lineup, are also on the injured list. Kim felt pain in his right ribcage, and Reyes returned to Korea on June 22 and 27, respectively, due to fine fatigue fractures in his right foot during the match against Cheongbaek.

Samsung, which had not won a single game with one draw and eight losses last year, has boosted its mood with three wins and three losses this time, but coach Park Jin-man's sigh is deepening due to a series of injuries ahead of the season.
