It's literally 'Thank God '. Considering that he was hit directly by a 140km fastball, the surgical problem is not big.

Lotte Giants said on the 30th that `Jeon Min-jae has only minor abrasions without finding a fracture (in the skull). The ophthalmologic examination also found that there was no abnormality in the cornea and retina, and there was an anterior hemorrhage in the right eye, so it needed to be stabilized for 7 days," he said.

For Lotte, it is a fortunate result enough to sweep the chest. Jeon Min-jae was hit in the head by Kiwoom Yang Ji-yul's fastball during the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match the previous day.




To be precise, he hit the helmet, but Yang Ji-yul was immediately sent off as he was hit in the head by a fastball. The head hit by the ball sounded strongly, and the helmet turned strongly and seemed to hit the opposite eyelid hard.

Jeon Min-jae fell on his stomach after tossing back and forth in strong pain, and could not easily stand up. Eventually, an ambulance came into the ground, and after an emergency examination by medical staff, it was taken on a stretcher and immediately taken to Korea University Guro Hospital.

Even after the hospital was evacuated, Jeon Min-jae's pain continued. The area near the right eye that was hit by the helmet was severely swollen, but because it was an emergency room, there was no ophthalmologist, so I couldn't get a detailed examination.




First, CT and X-rays were used to examine skull trauma. Fortunately, there were no fractures, and only minor scratches remained.

After a shaky night, Jeon Min-jae finally visited the National Medical Center for an ophthalmic examination on the morning of the 30th. The results of the ophthalmic examination also showed no abnormalities in the cornea and retina, but the right eyeball had an anterior hemorrhage and was advised to take a week off.

This is enough injury to return within a short period of time after the expiration of the first team. It is regrettable to miss the airlift condition and team atmosphere that had been penetrating the sky, and it is expected that time will be needed to restore the sense of practice.




Still, it's a relief for Lotte. Fatal injuries were avoided. As important as recovering from enough rest for the player himself is to overcome the trauma without experiencing it.
