# P"Did I throw too much?" Kim Sang-soo, who collapsed on the mound, diagnosed with a ruptured adduage

Lotte Giants pitcher Kim Sang-soo, who collapsed on the mound and shocked him, eventually left due to a ruptured internal muscle.

An official from Lotte said on the 9th, "As a result of the examination at Good Samsun Hospital in Busan, he was diagnosed with a rupture of about 1.5 degrees in the right internal muscle," adding, "It is expected to take two weeks to rehabilitate."

Kim Sang-soo took the mound in the seventh inning as the second pitcher to lead 3-2 after starter Charlie Barnes in Game 12 of the season against NC at Changwon NC Park on the 8th. A veteran pitcher who has been active as a must-win group for the Lotte bullpen.

However, this day was unusual. He didn't throw any strikes as usual. He sent out leadoff hitter Son Ah-seop with a straight walk. He gave up the bases loaded with no outs and runners on first and second bases with a ball hit by No. 2 Seo Ho-chul. Park Kun-woo also gave up the bases with a straight walk.

nine consecutive balls. The moment he threw the ninth ball, Kim Sang-soo collapsed on the mound when he was in pain. He complained of extreme pain in the right thigh's inner muscle and could not quickly stand up. The trainer ran out in surprise. Kim Sang-soo, who had been lying down for a long time, eventually limped down the mound.

Shin Jung-rak came up in a hurry and seemed to put out the fire by double play Martin, but Kwon Hee-dong allowed a timely two-run hit from behind and eventually lost 3-4.

Kim Sang-soo, who moved to Lotte last winter, played in 63 games and played 48 innings before the game, and was active as the guardian of the Lotte bullpen with 4 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, 17 holds, and a 3.38 ERA.

Kim Sang-soo's sudden departure from the injury is a major negative factor for Lotte, which has a tight schedule. Lotte's bullpen, which was seeking a counterattack at the end of the season, turned on a red light.

Lotte's acting manager Lee Jong-woon said after hearing the sad news ahead of the double header against Changwon NC on the 9th, "I was a little nervous, but I don't think I could throw it," adding, "I was a pitcher who played a big role in the middle by playing many games and many innings when the team was in trouble."
