'Are you sure you're the one who got injured on the back of your hand?' Hanwha Eagles outfielder Floral ran and ran vigorously on the ground as if he was protesting to put Kim Kyung-moon in the lineup.

In the last game in Gwangju last weekend, Hanwha Floral was hit on the back of his hand by KIA closer Jung Hae-young's 151km fastball.

Floral, who entered the batter's box with one out and second base in the top of the 10th inning, played against KIA Jeong Hae-young. At the ball count of 0B 2S, Jung Hae-young's third 151km fastball came deep into the body and hit the back of Floral's hand at the batter's box.

Immediately after the pitch, Jung Hae-young approached the groove and checked the floreal condition and expressed her sorry. There was pain, but Floral played the game without replacement.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who returned home, reported the exclusion of leadoff Floral ahead of the three consecutive games between Doosan and China.

After the dune of the back of the hand, Floral received a detailed examination of the hospital on the 9th that a bone fragment on the back of his right hand fell off. The club said "MRI test shows bone fragments in the area where they were hit, but he said he wasn't in pain and didn't have swelling, so we're going to prepare for today's game as a pinch runner and watch the condition for two to three days."

Floral, who sat in the dugout the previous day and watched his teammates play, came out to the ground the next day and sweated a lot while playing defensive training.

As if delivering a message to manager Kim Kyung-moon, who was watching the training in front of the dugout, Floral continued to run and run on the ground shouting "Fungo Call" in a big action.
