Song Sung-moon (30), who entered the San Diego Padres ahead of the 2026 season, had a baby girl. Coach Craig Stamman (42) revealed the fact himself and explained the exact physical condition of Song Sung-moon. He said he will quickly shake off his side injury and join the spring camp normally.
According to "97.3 The Fan," a radio media outlet that mainly deals with San Diego Padres news, Stamman said in an interview with reporters in charge on the 1st (Korea time), "Song Sung-moon recently had a baby girl. I understand that you are currently spending time with your family and taking a break to recover from your injury. After that, I will be able to join the spring camp normally," he said.
Earlier, Song Sung-moon suffered a side muscle (inner abdominal muscle) injury during a personal training session in Korea, drawing fans' concerns. It was a reef ahead of the first major league season, but the recovery speed seems to be faster than expected. There was also a conservative forecast that it would take about 12 weeks, but this was also not true.
Lee Joo-hyung (25) of Kiwoom Heroes, who conducted personal training together, said, "We did swing training together, but (Song) Sung-moon's injury didn't come all of a sudden. I said it was bad while hitting, but it wasn't a big injury, so I wasn't worried. In fact, I think it was a slight injury to be careful one more time before entering the season. He explained, "I don't usually get hurt, and I'm a very strong brother, so I think I'll take extra care of my body now." According to Lee Joo-hyung, Song Sung-moon went to the Ijima Treatment Center in Yokohama, Japan, and received intensive treatment.
There was bad news, but Song Seong-moon even did a good girl. Lim Ji-yeol (31), the captain of Kiwoom in the 2026 season, who left the country for spring camp on the 22nd of last month, said in an interview with reporters, "I was in touch with Song Sung-moon, and I heard he gave birth. So I'm on my way to congratulate him," he said.
Song Sung-moon, who entered the Major League in December last year by signing a four-year, $15 million contract with San Diego, is considered a key resource in the team's infield competition. Stamman, a former pitcher who took office in November last year, highly appreciates Song's versatility and sincerity and is waiting to join the camp. Unfortunately, however, his participation in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March was unfortunately canceled. The absence of the tournament has been confirmed due to an unexpected injury.
After stabilizing with his family in Korea and focusing on completing his rehabilitation, Song Sung-moon will join the San Diego spring camp in the middle of this month to compete in earnest. Attention is focusing on whether Song Sung-moon, who has become the breadwinner, will succeed in a soft landing in the big league with a "powder buff" behind the soldering of "injury."
