Suspension of participation in ‘SSG collective physical punishment’ disciplinary action…The perpetrator of the assault is dismissed
Three SSG second-tier players who were found to have used mass physical punishment and violence against their juniors were suspended.Lee Won-joon, who was already expelled from the club for assaulting with a baseball bat, will not be able to play half of the season even if he finds a new team.
The controversial SSG Futures team players were suspended for assaulting their juniors with bats and collective physical punishment.
KBO made the decision after holding a reward and punishment committee for SSG Lee Won-joon, Lee Geon-yeon, and Choi Sang-min.
On the 6th, it was revealed that they had ordered their juniors to “get along” because A, a rookie of the year, was arrogant at Ganghwa Training Center in Incheon.
In the process, Lee Won-joon, who assaulted A’s thigh twice with a bat, was suspended for 72 games, half of a season, and Lee Geo-yeon and Choi Sang-min, who were collectively punished, were suspended for 30 games.
Earlier, the club held its own disciplinary committee before holding the KBO Reward and Punishment Committee, saying, “It is a serious issue that hinders the development of professional baseball,” and decided to resign Lee Won-joon a week after the incident.
Three years ago, the promised “one strike out” was applied due to the problems of drinking, unlicensed driving, and mass physical punishment of the Futures team players of the SK Wyverns.
At that time, Lee Won-joon was a victim of collective physical punishment, which made it even more shocking.
In addition to the disciplinary action of the KBO Reward and Punishment Committee, the club’s “double punishment” is prohibited, but “retirement” is not applicable.
As a result, Lee Won-joon, who was kicked out of the club, will not be able to play half of the season even if he finds a new team.
