NC Dinos Park Min-woo was replaced after being hit by a helmet by LG Twins foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez.

Park Min-woo started the exhibition game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 17th and was hit in the head by LG starter Hernandez's ball at the second at-bat in the top of the third inning.

Park Min-woo, who retired with a fly to right field in his first at-bat, faced his second at-bat in the top of the third inning with two outs and a runner on first base. Park Min-woo, who watched the change-up of 132km at the first pitch, could not avoid the ball for the second time in 1S. A 138km cutter flew to Park Min-woo's head, and Park Min-woo tried to avoid it late, but it was late.




It hit the helmet quite hard and Park Min-woo collapsed on the spot. It looked quite shocked. NC trainers and coaching staff ran out, and later the medical team brought a stretcher. Hernandez, who pitched, also approached Park Min-woo with a worried look as if he were quite surprised and examined his condition.

Fortunately, Park Min-woo got up and walked into the dugout. Hernandez bowed to Park Min-woo and expressed his apology.

It wasn't an automatic exit because I threw a cutter and got hit, not a fastball. Hernandez continued his pitching and finished the inning by catching Kim Joo-won with a fly to center field.




Park Min-woo decided to move to a nearby hospital for a checkup.
