NC`s pro baseball team plunged into an endless slump in the 2024 season. The dinosaur team, which even jumped to second place in the early days of the season, was involved in the semifinal battle until last month. However, it suffered a sharp decline amid the injury parade, and now it is time to worry about ranking last. Even the glimmer of hope is vague.먹튀검증
Son Ah-seop, NCs flagship star, left the team for a long time. On March 4, he collided with Park Min-woo during a defense against Changwon SSG, resulting in the worst result of injury to the posterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. Considering the long period of absence, Son was virtually excluded from the teams roster for this season. Son is still going through a long rehabilitation tunnel.
Another key member, Park Kun-woo, was unwantedly baton. On the 26th of last month, he collapsed after being hit on the wrist by a ball thrown by Park Se-woong in the match against Lotte in Changwon. He was diagnosed with a fracture of the right ulnar and ligament damage for six weeks. Likewise, a de facto season out has been ruled. Currently, it is only in the stage of stabilizing with the injured area fixed.
“Chapo,” which NC brought with a total of 16.4 billion won ahead of the 2022 season, left like that. It was not the end. This time, even the filial piety of foreigners was in trouble.
Kyle Hart, the starting pitcher who ranks first in the league’s ERA with 10 wins and 2 losses with a 2.34 (34 earned runs in 131 innings) in 21 games, was eliminated from the first team on the 8th of this month due to body aches and dehydration. Even Matt Davidson, the league’s top home run (36), is not in normal condition due to an injury to his left adductor muscle on the 16th.
Left-hander Kim Young-gyu, the core of the bullpen, was also absent from the first division due to left shoulder inflammation. Kim Han-byul, a relatively honest infield resource, also headed to the second division on Wednesday due to symptoms of left body pain. Indeed, NC is almost like a general hospital.
The series of departures and falls were natural. Starting with the Sajik Lotte match on the 6th and the Changwon Samsung match on the 18th, the team has won 10 consecutive games. It is the longest losing streak since the team was established and joined the KBO League since 2013. It has surpassed the previous nine consecutive wins recorded twice in 2013 and 2018. The winning rate in August was 1 win and 12 losses and 0.077 winning rate, which was disastrous.
It has five matches to beat fifth-ranked SSG. It is not a huge gap, but considering NC`s current performance, the distance seems quite far. Fortunately, Hearts started stretching and counting the number of times to return to the main league. However, it is hard to expect a dramatic rebound with just one starting pitcher joining the team. It is August when the NC Dinosaurs were struggling and cold.
