A thousand horses have arrived at SSG, a professional baseball team. This is Guillermo Herredia, a foreign hitter. She was included in the first team entry in a surprise move ahead of the match against Samsung Electronics in Incheon on Thursday. It has been 54 days. She did not rush to return to SSG, which drew keen attention as she was seen training with teammates at home. She focused on returning to a more perfect physical condition. She played in five games of the Futures League to adjust her sense of play in the game, while closely monitoring defense and baserunning. "She has fully recovered," SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said.메이저놀이터
After the match against Samsung in Daegu on April 10, Herredia briefly drew a comma. She suffered an epidermal cyst in her right thigh. After undergoing surgery, she was listed on the injured list (IL). This is the third year of the KBO League. She must have felt much regret as it took longer than expected. "I felt unfair because I didn't get hurt while playing baseball," Herredia said. "I helped her rehabilitate and worked hard to build her body."
In the meantime, he suffered from personal pain. His older sister passed away on April 24. Her condition has reportedly worsened recently after suffering from chronic illness for a long time. "I knew she was not feeling well, but I didn't think she would leave so soon," Herredia said in a frank manner. "I'm lying if it wasn't hard for her." Herredia even offered a silent tribute after the match to share her sorrow. "I was watching the game live. I was so grateful for her," Herredia nodded.
For SSG, it is like a welcome rain. There is a big difference between having a foreign hitter in the lineup and not having one. SSG has many concerns about hitting this season. It ranks ninth in the league with a batting average of 0.235 before the game on the day. In the interim, it recruited a short-term replacement, Ryan McBroom (April 20), but it did not have much fun. He had to pack up in less than six weeks. "I've been thinking about Herredia a lot. It's very positive to be back. If it plays its role, the team will gain more momentum," Lee said.
On this day, Herredia started as No. 2 and left field. It is a very different picture from most of them in charge of batting No. 4. As there has been a gap, the intention is to make more at-bats to see the ball. The current condition of the central batting line is also considered. As batters with one shot, including Han Yu-seom and Ko Myung-joon, are making a comeback, he is trying to continue the trend. "We are trying to help Herredia adapt quickly. From the perspective of the opposing team, I think it would be a little more frustrating if Herredia is in second place," Lee said.
