Lotte canceled outfielder Hwang Sung-bin from the first team on the 6th and registered Cho Se-jin instead.
Hwang Sung-bin was found to have a fourth deep bone fracture on his left side during a detailed examination. The Lotte club is planning to schedule treatment after checking the specialist's additional cross.
Hwang Sung-bin was replaced after suffering a finger injury while diving to first base after attempting a surprise bunt on the first pitch of SSG starter Mitch White's 149km fastball in the bottom of the first inning against Busan SSG Landers on the 5th. In the process of sweeping the base, he felt finger pain and was replaced.
Concerned about the injury, Lotte immediately replaced Kim Dong-hyuk in defense in the top of the second inning. Hwang Sung-bin had no problem in the first examination (X-ray) at Busan Medical Center, but he was found to have a fracture in the second detailed examination (CT scan) and went through rest and rehabilitation.
This season, Hwang Sung-bin has played a leading role in leading the team's batting average of 327 (36 hits in 110 times at bat) with 12 RBIs and 10 steals (OPS) of 0.751.
First base diving is as frequent as overflowing passion and motivation. Since he came up as a main player in the first division, he has never missed the top spot in fines.
In an interview with this newspaper, Hwang Sung-bin said, `I know it by head, but if I'm in a hurry and the base is close to reaching, I throw myself first without realizing it. It's not what you think about and do." The desperation and passion are assets and talents that have raised Hwang Sung-bin to his current position, but from the club's point of view, where injuries caused by diving occur every year, frustration is inevitable.
