He is a left-handed prospect who had high expectations for his team. However, one mistake cost him more than a year.온라인카지노

LG Twins left-hander Lee Sang-young had a collision in September. He crashed into a car that was in front of him on a road in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and gave the victim his contact information and said he would take care of the accident, before returning to his hotel. A pitcher from the same team was also in the car as a passenger.

However, after receiving the contact information, the victim suspected drunk driving and reported it to the police. The police who attended the scene confirmed that Lee Sang-young's blood alcohol level was at the level of revocation of her license.

A police investigation was launched afterwards. After learning about the fact on the day, the team issued an apology, saying, "We are deeply responsible for the management of the team. The players have reported to the KBO Clean Baseball Center."

Although it happened in mid-September, Lee Sang-young's KBO disciplinary action was confirmed only on December 12. It was ambiguous to hold a disciplinary committee without the police investigation due to the presence of a passenger. It was also misunderstood that "Lee Sang-young's disciplinary action proceeds particularly slowly."

The KBO already has clear sanctions against drunk driving accidents. This applies without exception. In the case of suspension of a copyright, the suspension of 70 games, the cancellation of a copyright is subject to one-year disqualification, five-year disqualification for two drunk driving cases, and permanent disqualification for three or more cases. Because there are clear guidelines, players also decide whether to play in 70 games, be disqualified for abandonment or permanent disqualification depending on the severity of their disposition.

Accordingly, the KBO imposed a one-year disqualification on Lee Sang-young, whose license was revoked, in accordance with the regulations. The KBO also prohibits the club from taking double disciplinary action. Although the club can take additional disciplinary action indirectly due to voluntary withdrawal or release, the LG club has announced that it will accept the KBO's disciplinary action without taking any further action.

Lee has not been able to play since mid-September when he was caught drunk driving. He took the mound on Sept. 11 in the Futures League. Since he was disqualified for one year from the time his punishment was confirmed, he has effectively wasted the entire 2025 season. He should continue his exercise only through individual training.

Lee Sang-young, a 24-year-old born in 2000 from Busan High School, is a special prospect that the club has been expecting a lot. He was selected as the fifth overall pick in the second round of the 2019 rookie draft, adding to the advantage of being a left-handed pitcher. Although he is not yet a complete player, he has even solved his military service in Sangmu and now it is time to take a position in the first team.

However, the momentary mistake has effectively wasted one and a half years. There is no turning back. The only way to spend time of humility and self-reflection is to digest the punishment without any problems.
