Did Kim Do Young make a reservation for MVP trophy? Four-time winner. You're the best ace again

NC Dinos Kyle Hart was eventually excluded from the first-team entry.

NC will face the LG Twins at Changwon NC Park from 5 p.m. on the 14th. Prior to the game, NC excluded Hart and coach Kim Jong-min from the first-team entry and registered coaches Choi Sung-young and Yoon Soo-gang.

Hart had an abnormality during the game against Suwon KT Wiz on the 10th. At that time, Hart felt dizzy while pitching, so he couldn't finish the fifth inning and was withdrawn early. But when I came down from the mound, I felt uncomfortable with my hamstring.

Hart had a hamstring pain while pitching against KT, but he felt more dizzy, so he couldn't clearly grasp the situation at the time, but it was later found in the process of preparing for his next appearance.

Hart underwent a thorough examination at the hospital on the 13th. Fortunately, no abnormalities were found. However, the player himself still feels uncomfortable, so he is excluded from the entry for now.

I'm running towards the end of the season, but I'm not out of the season yet. NC is planning to schedule its next appearance after closely monitoring Hart's physical condition. NC has a regular season game scheduled until the 28th.

However, there was a dark cloud over Hart's winning the individual title and becoming the leading candidate for MVP. Hart won four pitchers this season and even became the MVP of the regular season.

So far, he is ranked first in the ERA, winning percentage, and strikeout categories and second in multiple wins. It is a pace that can aim for from three to four gold medals.

However, if the mound continues to fail, the scope of winning the title may be significantly reduced. First of all, Samsung's Won Tae-in, who has 14 wins in the multiple wins category, has one more win than Hearts, and if he wins additional games in the remaining games, it will be difficult to catch up with the gap. In the strikeout category, Kiwoom's 'one-two punches' are also fiercely chasing. Hart has 172 strikeouts, while No. 2 Kiwoom Heyesus has 168 strikeouts and No. 3 Kiwoom Furado has 161 strikeouts. If Hart's appearance fails, he may catch up with the gap. If that happens, even three gold medals will be impossible.

In addition, as the category of winning titles decreases, the possibility of league MVP disappears. The most likely candidate is Kim Do-young of KIA, who achieved 30 home runs and 30 steals as the youngest. Kim Do-young's only real opponent was Hearts. However, Hart was unable to take the mound as he failed to recover his condition for nearly three weeks after suffering from a cold last month, and his worries deepened as he was out of power in four games after returning.
