Context piece
- LG Twins catcher Park Dong-won did not get a batting opportunity during the weekend road series against the Lotte Giants.
- Rain canceled one game and ended another early, leaving Park with limited action before September.
- The article questions whether his heavy workload over the past four years has contributed to his recent struggles.
LG Twins catcher Park Dong-won enters September under scrutiny after a weekend against Lotte in which rain and game circumstances limited his playing time.
The Aug. 28 LG-Lotte game was canceled because of rain. Park entered as a catcher in the bottom of the seventh inning the next day, with LG leading 8-3, but rain stopped the game during the inning and the Twins won by the rain rule.
The weekend series left Park without a batting opportunity. The article asks whether the catcher, who has accumulated the most innings played over the past four years, may be feeling the effects of that workload.
Park is also approaching a new free-agent opportunity after helping LG win the Korean baseball championship. The focus now turns to whether he can regain his form in September.
