A baseball with a speed of over 140km is literally a weapon. Accidents of being injured by a pitcher's pitch or a hit by a ball often occur.
Lotte Giants' 'Lucky' Jeon Min-jae was today's victim. During the seventh inning of Game 1 of the Weekday Series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 29th, Kiwoom pitcher Yang Ji-yul's 140km pitching hit Jeon Min-jae on the head.
Yang Ji-yul's ball appears to have hit Jeon Min-jae on the side of his head and near his helmet's ear on the screen. Jeon Min-jae screamed and collapsed forward.
Lotte's trainer ran out, but Jeon Min-jae couldn't get up easily. Eventually, an ambulance came into the ground. Jeon Min-jae left the scene in an ambulance.

Jeon Min-jae wore a Lotte uniform with Jung Chul-won through a 3-2 trade with Kim Min-seok, Choo Jae-hyun and Choi Woo-in in the off-season. At the time of the trade, the spotlight was focused on the two players who made names in both teams, Kim Min-seok and Jung Cheol-won.
However, when the season began, Jeon Min-jae emerged as the main character. Jeon Min-jae completely filled Lotte's weakness, the shortstop position, while even wielding a fire bat that once topped the batting average of more than 400%.
He deserved to be ranked in the top batting order as he is a fast-footed and good operational player. However, head coach Kim Tae-hyung placed it only in the lower 7th to 9th batting order with consideration that "Focus on defense and relax your hitting."

Jeon Min-jae was also active in the game, scoring two hits in three at-bats and contributing three points in the second inning. However, he was in a position to leave the stadium with an unexpected head shot.
The referee sent Yang Ji-yul off and announced that he was sent off with a headshot. It seems to be a decision that took into account the fact that there was a situation in which Yang Ji-yul was almost hit by Yang Ji-yul's body ball during the previous batter Yoo Kang-nam. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki protested amid boos that filled the scene, but the referee's decision did not change.
According to the Lotte club, Jeon Min-jae will be taken to Korea University Guro Hospital for treatment. An official said "The ball was not directly hit by the head, but was also hit by the helmet and hit by the head. We will know the detailed situation only when the results of the examination are released."
