Lotte Giants Hwang Sung-bin was replaced in one inning. This is because of the injury he suffered during the diving process to first base.

Hwang Sung-bin started as the first batter center fielder in Game 1 of the Children's Day Weekend Series against SSG Landers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 5th.

The starting pitcher for SSG on the day was foreign pitcher Mitch White. Hwang Sung-bin ran with a surprise bunt towards first base on White's 149km fastball. At the last minute, he didn't mind diving all over towards first base, but the result was out.




The problem was the next situation. Hwang Sung-bin was replaced at the beginning of the second inning when the defense started. Instead of Hwang Sung-bin, Kim Dong-hyuk was put in center field.

Regarding the reason for Hwang Sung-bin's replacement, Lotte club was replaced due to left finger pain during sliding. I'm going to go to the Busan Medical Center for a checkup now."

Hwang Sung-bin is a player who has a lot of injuries during the sliding and diving process as well as overflowing passion and motivation.




Among them, in the case of first base, it is faster to run as it is than throwing the body, and due to the nature of the base that can be passed by, it is more like diving than sliding. In this process, it often causes injuries to players.

Therefore, most professional baseball teams fine first base diving. The amount of fines varies from team to team. Some teams get bitten hard, while others finish to give the team a cup of coffee. However, it is true that all clubs feel that they should not dive as much as first base, although sliding can't be helped.

Hwang Sung-bin is a player who has not missed the first base diving fine every year in the team since he came up as a main player in the first division.




Hwang Seong-bin himself says "I know it from my head, but when I'm in a hurry, I think about it and I throw myself first without realizing it." The desperation and passion are highly regarded, but as long as injuries occur every year, the team's frustration is inevitable.
