The reason for the suspension of NC Dinos right-handed pitcher Lim Ji-min (20) has been revealed.

The NC Dinos announced on Sept. 29 that Lim suffered an ulnar fracture in his right elbow. Lim appeared out of the bullpen for a home game against the Hanwha Eagles on April 27 and lasted two-thirds of an inning. He took the mound in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 0-5, and got two outs. Initially, it looked like he was going to end the inning. With Lee Won-seok on second and one out, the NC bench had no intention of making a change, but Lim didn’t throw two pitches for a while after Lee’s first pitch.

Catcher Ahn Jung-yeol and head trainer Park Rae-chan visited the mound, and Park immediately signed to the bench for a substitution. 먹튀검증 The replay camera also showed Lim bending down and complaining of pain. The signs were there. His fastball, which had been clocked at 147 km/h, had dropped to 142 km/h. After being removed from the first team roster on the 28th, Lim underwent a detailed examination at a specialized hospital on the 29th, and it was eventually confirmed that he had a fractured ulna. It will be a long time before he can throw a ball again.

A graduate of Gangwon National University, Lim was selected in the fifth round (50th overall) of the 2022 Rookie Draft.

However, in his second high-profile first-team appearance, he was pulled.
