Hanwha Eagles’ Eom Sang-bak Undergoes Elbow Reconstruction Surgery: What It Means for His 2026 Season
Daniel Kim Views
Hanwha Eagles pitcher Eom Sang‑baek is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction and having bone fragments removed from his right elbow, the club announced on April 23. The procedure — commonly known as Tommy John surgery — typically requires about a year of rehabilitation, a timeline that all but rules him out for the rest of 2024. Eom debuted with KT in 2015 and signed a four‑year free‑agent contract with Hanwha in 2024 worth up to 7.8 billion KRW (approximately $5.85 million). #Hanwha #EomSang‑baek #ElbowSurgery Yonhap News TV — For inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/LINE: jebo23.
