I was worried just in case, but the worst result came out.

Hanwha Eagles' new foreign pitcher Owen White (27) was found to have suffered a ruptured hamstring muscle.

Hanwha said on the 1st, "White was diagnosed with a ruptured left hamstring muscle as a result of MRI treatment today and will be removed from the entry," adding, "Rehabilitation is expected to take more than six weeks." Pitcher Um Sang-baek (30) of the same team will also be excluded from the entry due to pain in his right elbow during training on the day.

Right-hander White, who joined this year with a down payment of $200,000 and an annual salary of $800,000, made his KBO League debut as a starter in a home game against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st of last month. He gave up the first run with a wild pitch after being hit by a double by Choi Won-joon, the leader, in the top of the first inning, but he regained stability by striking out two in the top of the second inning. It increased the out count with a fastball of up to 154km/h and a sweeper in the early 130km range.

The unexpected situation occurred in the top of the third inning when Hanwha was trailing 0-1. White, who was driven to the first and second bases with no outs by giving up a hit to the leadoff Kim Hyun-soo and a walk to Ahn Hyun-min, induced Hilliard to ground out to the first base with a ball count of 1-1. Hanwha first baseman Chae Eun-sung caught the ball and threw it to shortstop Shim Woo-joon. Shim Woo-joon, who forced out first baseman Ahn Hyun-min at second base, threw to first base to catch the batter Hilliard, and White, who entered the base cover, received the ball in a so-called "leg-splitting" position. The result is safe.

In the process, White was unable to pitch anymore due to pain in his left thigh and was helped into the dugout. Hanwha rushed Kang Jae-min to take the mound as relief. White's performance on the day was four hits, one walk, two strikeouts, and one run on 57 pitches during two ⅓ innings.

As White becomes difficult to play for at least six weeks, Hanwha's starting rotation is inevitable from the beginning of the season. Attention is also focusing on whether to recruit alternative foreign players.
