a heartbreaking injury to a cherished pupil. Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung didn't even seem to want to say it out loud.
Lotte will play the second game of the week series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 30th.
Jeon Min-jae, who was the main shortstop and the No. 1 hitter on the previous day, was taken to the hospital after being hit in the head by Kiwoom pitcher Yang Ji-yul's dune.
The Lotte team reported the good news that there was no serious surgical injury as a result of surgery at Korea University Guro Hospital on the 29th and ophthalmic examination at Seoul National Medical Center on the 30th.
Lotte has no choice but to sweep away its chest. CT, X-ray examination revealed no skull fracture, only minor abrasions. In addition, the ophthalmic examination also found that there was no abnormality in the cornea and retina, and that there was an anterior hemorrhage in the right eye, so it needed to be stabilized for 7 days.
Either way, the cancellation of the first team is inevitable. It is expected that it will take time to return to the real game in the future. It is still too early to say the exact timing of his return.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung was looking beyond that. When he said 'I'm glad the injury wasn't serious', he said "It's not the problem that I'm missing now. After being hit by a pitch like that, trauma can occur later at bat. I'm worried about that," he sighed deeply.

Not only the batter but also the pitcher's heart who threw four pitches was greatly hurt. Kiwoom pitcher Yang Ji-yul was also eliminated from the first team on the same day. Hong Won-won excluded Kim Dok because he didn't think he could throw the ball for a while", he explained.
