Asian Games omission regret: Kim Hwi-jip reportedly preparing for return

NC Dinos infielder Kim Hwi-jip, a player manager Ryu Ji-hyun reportedly regretted not being able to select, is gearing up for a potential return. Kim was notably absent from the final roster for the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, a decision that apparently left the coaching staff disappointed.

The national team's infield selections included a total of seven players. Among them were Moon Bo-gyeong of LG and Noh Si-hwan of Hanwha, who were chosen as wild card picks. Other infielders selected for the squad were Jeong Jun-jae of SSG, Lee Jae-hyun of Samsung, Kim Joo-won of NC, Kim Do-young of KIA, and Park Jun-soon of Doosan.

Despite not making the cut for the prestigious international competition, Kim Hwi-jip's situation suggests he is focused on his comeback. The article implies that his absence from the team was a point of regret for the management, hinting at his perceived value and potential contribution.
