Heaven helped. It's good to hear that there's no big problem.

LG Twins' Son Yong-joon has overcome a major injury crisis. He just announced his start to become a first-team player, and he could have been in big trouble.

Son Yong-joon played as a pinch hitter in the third inning of the last three consecutive games during the week against KT at Jamsil Stadium on the 31st. Oh Ji-hwan's pinch-hitter gave the team a chance to lead 4-0 with one out and runners on first and third bases. Oh Ji-hwan complained of mild symptoms of bile in his chest before entering the batter's box and was replaced to protect the player.

Son Yong-joon graduated from Dongwon University of Science and Technology last year and was nominated by LG in the second and third round of the rookie draft. a player who has strength in hitting. He entered the second half of this year's Futures All-Star Game MVP in a good mood, and a gift of a first-team call-up was waiting. He started on the first day of the call-up on the 29th, and his first RBI in his career against KT became the winning RBI.

But what's going on? In the 1S situation, Heysus' 149-kilometer fastball flew into Son's head, and Son was hit directly in the head. A shocking head shot to the point where silence flows through Jamsil Stadium.

Fortunately, it was a fast ball, but the helmet seemed to absorb the impact of the ball, and the ball bounced off. If the ball is eaten with the sound of 'puck', the impact is directly transmitted to the head, while if it is fried, it can cause a buffering effect and reduce injuries.




Son Yong-joon, who complained of great pain as soon as he was hit, fortunately got up on his own and walked out toward the dugout. Heysus also approached worriedly and looked at Son Yong-jun's condition, took off his hat and said hello to him, expressing his sorry.

LG let Chun Sung-ho play as a pinch runner. An LG official said, `Son Yong-joon has no particular abnormality, so he is stabilizing and watching his condition," he added. Of course, concussion symptoms may appear over time, but it was fortunate for LG to say that it was not a major injury anyway.
