Kwang-hyun kim's early replacement depends on the situation.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Schilt explained about Kwang-hyun kim's early substitution in a video interview after losing 4-5 to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Bush Stadium on the 26th.When a reporter asked if he had replaced Kwang-hyun kim early because of what he gave up,manager Schilt said,I would have replaced Kwang-hyun kim in that situation even if I didn't give him 4 points. The hit with the ball also had an effect, and the opposing pitcher Will Crow in the 4th inning had an effect also had an impact,he explained.After catching two outs in the early 4th inning,Kwang-hyun kim allowed a double to Kevin Newman, the 8th batter,and finished the inning with a floating ball after playing 10 pitches against the opponent starting Crow, who was number 9.

Overall, Pittsburgh's right-handed hitters against Kwang-hyun kim hit well, Schilt said.Kwang-hyun kim was good at guiding a ground ball in the beginning, but then he started to allow line drives. After hitting the ball in the body in the second inning,he continued to throw.I told him to keep throwing,he said.

He continued,Kwang-hyun kim had some long innings, but I could see him working hard to catch the out,he praised Kwang-hyun kim's efforts.

Regarding the question of whether to trust Kwang-hyun kim, manager Schilt said,I believe,He knows how to throw the ball according to the situation.3 innings was a bit long, but he won 4 innings.The weather was hot and everything was difficult,so anyway I had to hand it over to Jake Woodford,he said.I trust him.But it can go long or short depending on the situation.It depends on the manager's judgment.They are suffering a lot of damage.

Finally,coach Schilt said about Kwang-hyun kim's condition,It seems that there was a shock to the hand when he hit the ball.So the trainer went to the mound with the pitching coach in the middle of the inning.It's not a serious injury,he said.

Meanwhile,Kwang-hyun kim did not conduct a video interview that day.He appears to be in for a post-match examination and treatment.
