I became poisoned after the ordeal… Women’s baseball ace Kim Ra-kyung’s unbreakable heart

Kim Ra-gyeong, who was the first Korean female player to advance to the stage of the Japanese women’s unemployment league, headed to Japan in June of last year.

She joined the Asahi Trust, and he was on the mound in Japan of her dreams. She made her first appearance in a practice game against Seibu, when she moved up to her middle relief.

However, she misstepped while on a practice pitch and shifted her center of gravity onto her arm. At that moment, the sound of her clothes being ripped from her arm was heard. ‘Things are bad,’ she said, and she got on the mound. This time the pain rushed through her arm. Ra-Kyung Kim eventually hit the first batter and grabbed her arm before collapsing off the mound. Kim Ra-kyung’s first appearance in Japan ended like this.

And in November, he returned to Korea and was on the operating table. She underwent elbow ligament splicing surgery and began a long rehabilitation. The so-called “Tommy John surgery” requires a year-long rehabilitation period.

However, Kim Ra-gyeong’s dream was not broken. In a phone interview, he said, “I will prepare with the mindset of going to the Japanese league again.”

Kim Ra-gyeong followed her older brother, Kim Byeong-geun, who was 7 years old, and never let go of a baseball ever since she started playing baseball in the 6th grade of elementary school. In 2015, as a junior high school student, she was selected for the women’s national baseball team and competed in the 2016 World Baseball Softball Federation Women’s Baseball World Cup. In 2019, she took the mound before the LG Cup International Women’s Baseball Tournament USA and recorded a quality start, drawing attention from women’s baseball officials around the world. In 2021, she even directly founded the women’s baseball team ‘JUST DO BASEBALL (JDB)’.

Kim Ra-gyeong, who entered the Department of Physical Education at Seoul National University’s College of Education with one determination to play baseball, challenged the Japanese women’s baseball team. She appreciated her Kim Ra-kyung talent in her trust side of Asahi and allowed her to step out onto the stage of her dreams last year. However, she had a hard time because her visa was not issued due to the variable called Corona 19, and she was able to join her team with an international student visa until June. But her dream ended after just one match.

Kim Ra-kyung was not frustrated. He said, “At first, I tried to do it with the mindset of ‘If I pulled out a knife, I would have to cut even a radish’, with the thought that if I couldn’t become a pitcher, I would challenge myself as a hitter.”

Busy trying to get her injured arm back to life. During her rehabilitation, she also studied Japanese and spent her days without notice. Kim Ra-kyung said, “While doing her rehabilitation, she also raised her muscles a lot and made her in better condition than before. However, when she played catch, her arms did not rise, so she was examined in Korea and was advised to have surgery,” she said. 바카라사이트

At first, she felt a great sense of loss. But the ordeal made her Kim Ra-kyung grow more. He said, “At first, I felt myself saying, ‘My arm is wrong’, and I felt a great sense of loss, but I was also injured and motivated more.”

Kim Ra-gyeong said, “After getting hurt, there were things I could see. i know what’s wrong Before that, she had an impatient mind because of Corona 19. But this time, I want to prepare at my own pace and look good,” she said.

As I accompanied the Asahi Trust team, watching my teammates run was a stimulus. Ra-Kyung Kim said, “The team only rehabilitated, but he watched the game and said, ‘I want to play with you there. I wanted to show it too,” he said.

The advice of her brother, whom she trusted the most, also helped. This is because her brother, Kim Byung-geun, also has a history of injuries and surgeries. Kim Ra-kyung said, “There are moments when I suddenly have a scary thought, ‘What should I do if the moment I can’t play baseball again comes? But the process of making it is my own. I guess the key is to get through that,” she said.

I am diligently going to the rehabilitation training center for the day when I will be on the mound again. She is now in the stage of building her body in earnest after completing her basic rehabilitation phase. She recently signed a management contract with ‘Brion Company’ and is preparing for a full-fledged entry into Japanese baseball. Ra-gyeong Kim said, “I want to prepare properly this time and try it.”
