I have a long way to go…

A bad news has occurred for the Samsung Lions, who are losing three consecutive games.

The main catcher Koo Ja-wook was replaced during the game with a ball that hit his body.




Koo Ja-wook started in left field at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 6th.

In the top of the first inning, with one out and one on the first base, he hit a clean right-handed hit that separates the first and second bases against Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin, opening a chance for one out and runners on the first and third bases to get off to a good start.

Ryu Hyun-jin was aware of Koo Ja-wook, who took the batter's box for the second time after two outs in the top of the third inning when he was 0-0. He tried to get a 145km fastball close to his body, but he hit his right elbow.




There was a guard, but the intensity was considerable enough to make a puck sound. The moment he was hit, he screamed and fell to the plate.

Concerned, Ryu Hyun-jin came down from the mound and came all the way to the batter's box to check Koo Ja-wook's condition. Fortunately, he stood up quickly. However, he couldn't even smile at Ryu Hyun-jin, who approached him and apologized as if the pain was still there.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who used his heart, was slightly shaken. Koo Ja-wook, who went to first base, stepped on second base when Kang Min-ho walked and then homered when Diaz hit a timely hit to center field to score the first run.

However, Koo Ja-wook was replaced by Kim Tae-geun ahead of the defense in the bottom of the third inning.




"Koo Ja-wook was replaced in the top of the third inning due to pain caused by a right elbow dune," the Samsung team said. After icing, a hospital examination is scheduled."

Koo Ja-wook, who had been hitting in seven consecutive games until the game against Doosan on the 4th, was silent with no hits in five at-bats against Hanwha on the 5th. However, he made a good hit from his first at-bat against Hanwha on the 6th, signaling a rapid recovery in his batting sense. Then, I took a breath for a while due to the unwelcome dune pain.
