On June 17, 13 players will be discharged from the military after completing their service with the Sangmu Phoenix Baseball Team. They will immediately return to their team and share the team's second-half ranking fight.
In particular, there are many names that stand out in the pitching staff this time. When he returns to the club immediately, he has several names who will play as "the eye of the typhoon," drawing expectations from fans.
Koo's name stands out first. Koo, who settled in the NC Dinos starting lineup in 2017, started showing off his skills and performance in 2019. As long as he is healthy, he has shown off his image as a left-hander among the best in the league. He also joined the World Baseball Classic (WBC) national team in 2023.
The problem was injury. He suffered from so frequent injuries that he had never met the required number of innings. Eventually, he was disqualified from the national team for the Hangzhou Asian Games due to his injury. He lost the opportunity to make exemption from military service.
Koo Chang-mo has 47 wins, 37 losses and four holds with an ERA of 3.68 in 174 games (118 starts). Based on his records since the 2019 season, he has played in 68 games (61 starts) with 31 wins, 15 losses and two holds with an ERA of 2.45. Such a player will join NC soon.
Koo has already expressed his great confidence. According to News 1, Koo expressed his strong ambition by saying in a telephone conversation with new coach Lee Ho-joon early this year, "If our team remains in the top five until we return, we will make it No. 1."
In this season's Futures League, he pitched in two games and adjusted his sense of play with 2.25 ERA (two runs in eight innings) and 11 strikeouts. Coach Lee Ho-joon has also begun mentioning his plan to recruit Koo in earnest. He is fully prepared to return to the mound.
Lee Jung-yong is also a must-have. He joined the LG Twins through the first round of nominations in 2019, and settled down in the first division from the 2020 season. After playing in the bullpen for three seasons, he switched to a starter midway through the 2023 season, contributing to LG's overall win for the first time in 29 years.
His overall performance in 202 games (13 starts) is 17 wins, nine losses, four saves, 42 holds, and an ERA of 3.57. Given LG's solid rotation as a starting pitcher, he is expected to add strength as a bullpen pitcher.
Exclusion, who played a key role in KT's starting lineup before joining the military, will return. He has recorded 40 wins and 46 losses with an ERA of 4.20 in 154 games (116 starts). Notably, he pitched well in 26 games, including 9 wins and 10 losses with an ERA of 3.68 in the 2021 season, contributing to his team's overall win.
Immediately after joining the military, he underwent Tommy John surgery, and had a gap of about a year for actual games, but returned healthy this season. As he played in five games in the Futures League, he will not have any major problems joining the top team.
