After the game, a hospital examination showed that the back of the hand was not very good. The Hanwha team said ahead of the match against Doosan Bears in Daejeon on the 10th that "Florell showed bone fragments in the area where the MRI examination hit."He explained, "He said he wasn't in a lot of pain, but he didn't have any swelling, so I'm going to prepare as a pinch runner and check his condition in two to three days."




Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also said "He said he was very good. He said he would play somehow, and from the manager's point of view, he's a player who's worked hard together in our team so far, so I'm going to wait for three days. The runner is available now."

KIA's mind could not have been comfortable after hearing about Floral's physical condition. In 64 games this season, Floral was batting .271, with eight homers and 13 steals, with an OPS (long hit rate + on base rate) of 0.783 . In particular, in the last 10 games, his batting average was 342, showing a good batting sense.

Although it was said to have happened during the game, I felt sorry as I injured the key hitter so that he couldn't do his part.
