Hanwha Kim Min-woo is out for the season due to elbow surgery Expected to return next year




Hanwha Eagles pitcher Kim Min-woo is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery.

Hanwha Eagles pitcher Kim Min-woo (29) is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery (elbow ligament joint surgery).

According to the Hanwha team on the 23rd, Kim Min-woo is scheduled to undergo surgery on the 30th.

Previously, Min-Woo Kim started against the KIA Tigers on the 13th, but he felt elbow pain after throwing 4 balls and voluntarily resigned.

After a subsequent hospital examination, he was diagnosed with an elbow flexor sprain and appeared to have avoided a major injury, but the pain recurred a week later while playing catch.

According to Hanwha, Kim Min-woo himself chose surgery instead of rehabilitation. He appears determined to receive treatment and return.

Tommy John surgery is one of the surgeries that pitchers commonly undergo. Ryu Hyun-jin, a senior on Kim Min-woo's team, has also had the surgery twice, once in high school and in the major leagues, and So Hyun-jun (KT Wiz) and Ahn Woo-jin (Kiwoom Heroes) are also rehabilitating after undergoing the surgery last year.

However, it usually takes about a year to go through rehabilitation after surgery and return to the actual stage. Accordingly, Minwoo Kim will end this season early and aim to return next season. Minwoo Kim's season ended in the first half of last year due to a ruptured shoulder muscle. He showed his intention to return healthy this season, but ended the season again after appearing in three games.
