Choi Jung-won of the NC Dinos, who took an ambulance to the hospital after being hit by a headshot during the game. Fortunately, he is not in a bad condition, so he is preparing to play without missing the entry. Choi Jung-won played as a substitute against the Changwon KIA Tigers on the 14th and was hit in the back of his head by a 145km fastball thrown by KIA left-hander Choi Ji-min in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. Choi Jung-won, who sat down for a while and grabbed the back of his head, lay on the ground as it was, and after receiving first aid from medical staff, he took an ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Fortunately, there were no special abnormalities in the hospital examination. As a result of completing X-rays and CT scans, there was no abnormality, but he had symptoms such as mild dizziness, so he took an IV and stabilized before returning home.
NC did not exclude Choi Jung-won from the entry prior to the match against KIA on the 15th, the next day. He also had light training sessions before the game. Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `I could go out as a pinch runner today. His will is too strong. In fact, the aftermath of the headshot is a hit in the head, so we don't know when and how it will appear. I was going to give him four to five days off, but he said he wanted to play somehow. "
The player's willingness to play for a longer time in the first team was so strong that he decided to warm up lightly and watch his condition. Director Lee Ho-joon said "Fortunately, there are no symptoms of nausea or such symptoms, and his head is a little "Ting". First of all, he told me to rest as much as possible today. I won't use it unless I have to go out as a pinch runner in a really urgent situation. I'm going to save a little bit today,' he explained.
