Left-handed ace Chang-mo Koo of the NC Dinos in professional baseball took the first step toward returning to the mound.

Kang In-kwon, NC coach, met with reporters at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 19th and said, “We will start the 20m catch ball.” .

In general, ITP starts with shadow pitching, increases the catch ball distance in turn to 60m, and then goes through half pitching, batting ball throwing, bullpen pitching, and live pitching.

Koo Chang-mo was canceled from the first team entry in May due to accumulated shoulder and elbow fatigue, and on June 2, his return match, in an away game with the LG Twins, he threw 5 balls and felt unreasonable, so he voluntarily gave up.
