KIA Tigers' Kim Sun-bin returned as a starter after a terrible collision injury.
KIA will play the last game of three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th. Coach Lee Bum-ho will start Kim Sun-bin as the second and second baseman.
Kim Sun-bin faced a dizzying situation in the first game on the 18th. A return match after a long absence due to a calf injury. Kim Sun-bin, who was full of motivation, sprinted to first base after a surprise bunt and collided with Doosan's second baseman Park Gye-beom, who entered the base cover.
Kim Sun-bin's chin strongly hit Park Gye-beom's shoulder. I was worried about a major accident. Kim Sun-bin collapsed and couldn't get up for a while, and the ambulance was ready to come in.
Fortunately, Kim Sun-bin came to his senses and left the stadium after being helped. The mouth was torn and sutured, and fortunately, there was no abnormality in the jaw or teeth.
Kim Sun-bin immediately returned to the starting lineup after taking a break against Doosan on the 19th. Coach Lee Bum-ho, who met ahead of the game, said "He says he's okay, and there's no big problem with the training part." In fact, I was going to take it out by today, but I'm grateful that the player said he was going out with motivation."
Director Lee said "I exercise without any problems and eat well. In fact, he said he was fine in yesterday's game, and that he could play. He said he can play as a substitute. However, going to the batter's box with his lips swollen is why he asked to take a break from the game on the 19th and check whether he will play on the 20th. He readily said he would go out."
Manager Lee said, `No matter who the opposing pitcher is, our team's variables will be reduced if Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin take charge of shortstop and second baseman and play as table setters. "I can play as I thought " "The most important thing is for the main players to play without injury. All teams are keen on injury variables. I hope you play your part without getting hurt," he stressed.
