The bad news of NC in professional baseball… Starter Parsons and finisher Lee Yong-chan leave together

Parsons was excluded from the first-team entry due to back pain and Lee Yong-chan’s left knee pain.

(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Han Nam-jik = Pro baseball’s NC Dinos, who fell into the lower ranks, met the bad news of two ‘main pitchers’ leaving due to injuries.

Kang In-kwon (50), acting NC manager, excluded starting agents Wes Parsons (30) and finishing agent Lee Yong-chan (33) from the first team entry ahead of the match against SSG Landers to be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 15th.

Acting coach Kang said, “Parsons felt back pain while pitching yesterday (the 14th). Lee Yong-chan has symptoms of a sprained left knee.” “Both pitchers are still in the examination stage, so the timing of their return is unknown. Looking at the treatment and recovery process, will decide,” he said.

Parsons has appeared in eight games this season, posting a 2-1 record with a 3.56 ERA.

In the SSG match on the 14th, he felt a pain in his lower back while striking out 8 in 3⅔ innings and playing without a score.

Acting coach Kang said, “We have not yet decided on one starting person to fill Parsons’ vacancy. We will also discuss with the futures team’s coaching staff.”

Lee Yong-chan kept the NC back door with a 1.62 ERA with 1 win, 2 losses and 6 saves this year. It is not easy to find a close pitcher to replace Lee Yong-chan right now.

Acting coach Kang In-kwon said, “While Lee Yong-chan is away, the finishing role will be filled flexibly according to the game situation and the opposing batter, centering on Won Jong-hyun.”

On this day, NC registered outfielder Ki-hwan Kim and right-handed pitcher Park Dong-soo into the first team entries.

Rookie Park Dong-soo joined the first team for the first time. Park Dong-soo played an active part in the Futures League this year with an ERA of 0.71 (12 ⅔ innings, 7 hits, 2 runs and 1 earned run) in 9 games, 1 win, 1 hold, and succeeded in entering the first team.
