Choi Jung-eun trained third baseman's defense before an away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 12th. Choi Jung, who has been designated as a designated hitter, started defensive training to defend third base in three consecutive weekend games against the Lotte Giants.
However, he was quickly transferred to a nearby hospital after being hit by a puncture ball above his left eye.
On the same day, SSG had a starting lineup of Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Herredia (left fielder), Choi Jeong (designated hitter), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Park Sung-han (striker), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Cho Hyung-woo (captor), and Kim Chan-hyung (third baseman). Although they have time until 5:30 p.m., during the lineup exchange time, they have made other lineup considering that Choi Jeong is difficult to play in the game.
Manager Lee said, "(Choi) Jung is not a designated hitter, so I decided that I had to defend in the end in order to find balance and good performance when I defended, and I was well aware of that, so I thought about going to the defense from the weekend or as early as tomorrow (13th)." "But I was informed a little while ago, and Jung was hit by the eye while training for defense and went to the hospital." I think we need to see the situation."
It was judged at the scene that there was no bleeding and it was not a major injury because he was hit while wearing sunglasses, but he still headed to the hospital for a checkup.
Fortunately, the SSG team announced "The left eyebrow area was injured due to irregular bounding" and "The hospital treatment showed that the wound was not deep, so I will play in the game"
Choi Jung-eun, a legend who is setting a career home run record, has a batting average of .200 (23 hits in 115 at-bats) with nine home runs and six RBIs in 33 games this season.
