The brief companionship between the KIA Tigers and Eric Stoute has effectively come to an end. Stoute started the game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on Wednesday, but left the mound after one ⅔ inning. He collapsed in front of the mound right after giving up a walk to Jung Soo-bin with two outs and a runner on the second base after allowing three runs in the bottom of the second inning when his team was leading 2-0. Stoute, who had been complaining of pain for a while, took the mound again, but decided that it was too much to do.스포츠토토

The results of the examination on the following day were shocking. "Stout was diagnosed with partial damage to his left hamstring (back muscle of his thigh) after an MRI examination at a hospital designated by the team," Kia said on Sunday.

Stout is scheduled to be removed from the first-team entry on the 21st. With 10 days to re-register after the cancellation of the first-team entry, the match against Doosan will be Stout's last appearance in the pennant race, considering that KIA will play the pennant race against Lotte Giants in Busan on the 28th.

KIA won the pennant race early in the match against Incheon SSG on last Thursday and succeeded directly to the Korean Series. However, instead of going to autumn baseball, Stoute will return to Korea. He stepped on the Korean soil as a substitute for James Nail who fractured his temporomandibular joint on April 24. His mission was to fill in the empty spots of Nail until the pennant race.

Going to Korea was a big decision for Stout.

Having played in Asian baseball in the Taiwan Professional Baseball League last year, he signed a contract with the Zhongxin Brothers this year, and had 10 wins before joining the Kia Tigers. However, he gave up living in Taiwan and chose to play in Korea as a substitute for the time limit.

Despite the short opportunity, Stout did his best.

On the 1st, when he made his KBO League debut, he ended up losing five runs in four innings against Daegu Samsung. However, he won the game against Kiwoom in Gwangju on the 7th by allowing six hits, two walks, eight strikeouts, and one run in five ⅓ innings, and showed further improvement against Kiwoom in Gwangju on the 14th by allowing three hits and one walk (one walk), six strikeouts and one run in five ⅓ innings. He also showed fast adaptability at the end of the season and tried hard to become one with the team. This is why his company with KIA, which ended due to injury, has no choice but to be deeply disappointed.

It remains to be seen whether Stoute, who effectively finished the season, will make his KBO League debut next year as well. His three-week companionship was too short to confirm everything he had. However, his attitude of adapting to the league and dedicating himself to the team even after being labeled as "time-limited" was enough to leave a lingering impression.
