NC Dinos' Choi Jung-won was hit by a headshot and headed to the emergency room by ambulance during the game. Choi Jung-won faced KIA's changed pitcher Choi Ji-min in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. Choi Jung-won waited for the third pitch after fouling the first ball and the second ball. However, Choi Ji-min's 145km fastball hit the helmet near the back of Choi Jung-won's head and became a head shot. Immediately after being hit by the ball, the helmet fell to the floor, and Choi Jung-won sat down and held the back of his head with both hands.
Then, after a while, he lay down on the spot with his arms raised. Training coaches and head coach Seo Jae-ung immediately ran out of the NC bench to check Choi Jung-won's condition. The entire audience at NC Park, which was hot with cheering heat, cooled down in an instant. The waiting medical staff also ran out quickly to check the condition, and the medical staff and trainers unpacked Choi Jung-won's equipment and continued to check his consciousness and condition. After a while, the waiting ambulance entered the stadium, and Choi Jung-won boarded the ambulance on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace.
In the match, NC lost 8-9 after a close game, but Choi Jung-won's physical condition was more worrisome. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho also said after the game that he was worried about Choi Jung-won's physical condition. I hope it's not a big injury. He left a message of concern.
Fortunately, no major abnormalities were found. Choi Jung-won performed X-rays and CT scans at the hospital, and found 'simple concussion' without any special abnormalities. An NC team official said "The hospital is currently administering IVs, and we will continue to check the condition in the future." Choi Jeong-won, who was examined at the hospital, is also not feeling any major abnormalities in his physical condition, so it is expected that there will be no problem after stability and recovery.
