(Sports Seoul | Reporter Lee So -young) A huge bad news broke out on the Kiwoom Mound. Finishing pitcher Joo Seung -woo (25) is on the operating table due to an elbow injury.

Kiwoom said, “Joo Seung -woo will receive reconstruction of the inner side of the right elbow at Sejong Sports Orthopedic Clinic on the 22nd.” Tommy John Surgery is confirmed.

Joo Seung -woo, who started the ninth in the home game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 10th, was replaced by complaining of the inconvenience of the right elbow during the helmet. Twice on the 11th, the right elbow ligament damage was confirmed.

It is expected to take about a year to return, including rehabilitation after surgery. The club plans to support Ju Seung -woo to come back healthy.

Joo Seung -woo, the first group entry eras, said, “I can’t be together until the end of the season.”

Joo Seung -woo, who played as a two -digit save last season and played as a team’s winning group, played 42 games this season, scoring 2 wins and 2 wins and 5 hold 16 saves and 2.45 ERA.

Kiwoom has fallen again. The back door is weak. At the same time, I was able to hold on with Ju Seung -woo. It is no exaggeration to say that ‘the best man to believe’ in the team.

He is the only pitcher in the Kiwoom this season. Except for Ju Seung -woo, there is no three -point average ERA. Suddenly it hurts Tommy John Surgery takes a year or six months for rehabilitation. Sad things continue to come to a hard gourmet. sshong@sportsseoul.com
