KT’s Kang Baek-ho (24) has returned to the first team.
Kang Baek-ho was added to the first team roster ahead of the match against LG at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on Friday.
Kang Baek-ho, who had a rocky start to the season with the national team and then fell into a slump during the season as the pressure mounted, has been training on the sidelines since the end of July. He was last dropped from the roster on July 26 against LG,온라인카지노and after joining the development squad on July 22, he got fit and was registered with the first team again today.
KT coach Lee Kang-cheol said, “I received a report that his body is ready, so I didn’t need to keep him in the second team, so I registered him. We don’t plan to use him as a starter yet. Depending on the situation, we will prepare him as a substitute in the second half of the game.” “We will decide (how to use him) after watching him a little bit.”
Kang is currently on the roster for the Hangzhou Asian Games. He’ll need to make the most of his absence before he’s called up to the national team in late September, but KT is also in the midst of a standings battle where every game counts. The team will have to carefully assess Kang Baek-ho’s physical condition. Kang Baek-ho is expected to start as a pinch-hitter to check his batting form and then play as a designated hitter.
Shortstop Kim Sang-soo, who was removed from the roster on Aug. 26 due to an ankle sprain, also made his return after 10 days.
“There is no problem with his batting, but there is some discomfort in his defensive movements, so we plan to wait for him as a substitute in the second half of the game,” Lee explained.
