Koo Bon-hyuk started as the No. 6 shortstop in a home game against SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium on the 12th, and came out as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the second inning, trailing 1-2, and was hit by SSG starter Jeon Young-joon's first pitch.
Jeon Young-joon's 141km fastball flowed to his body, and Koo Bon-hyuk flew to his hand holding the bat. Koo Bon-hyuk tried to avoid it by pulling his body back, but the ball hit Koo Bon-hyuk's left back.
Koo Bon-hyuk immediately collapsed and complained of severe pain. After failing to get up for a long time, the ambulance finally came to the ground and looked in serious condition. On May 13, a month ago, Hong Chang-ki of Kiwoom was taken to an ambulance.
Fortunately, Koo woke up a little later and headed to the dugout on foot. But I couldn't run anymore. It was immediately replaced by runner Song Chan-ui.
The LG team said, `Koo Bon-hyuk plans to go to the hospital for a checkup with a bruise on the back of his hand.'
Koo Bon-hyuk is an infielder competing for first or second place in the team in defense and boasts a stable defense in second, third and shortstop. This season, Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan have filled the spot whenever they are sluggish or injured.
Recently, Moon Bo-kyung played third base as his defense became difficult due to knee pain, and Oh Ji-hwan was excluded from the starting lineup due to poor batting, and he is playing shortstop when he went down to the second division on the 9th.
Since Oh Ji-hwan can only return to the first division on the 19th at the earliest, if Koo Bon-hyuk is unable to play, LG's infield defense could falter solidity.
