Hanwha Eagles are playing their second game of the second half against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 19th. Hanwha, which had a complete 5-0 victory the previous day, cut off its second-half start perfectly and won seven consecutive games. On the 19th, he challenged for the eighth consecutive game with Weiss at the forefront.
Lee Jae-won joined Weiss on the day. However, Lee Jae-won was replaced by Choi Jae-hoon ahead of the defense in the bottom of the second inning after the attack in the top of the second inning.
An Hanwha official said "Lee Jae-won was replaced because he felt uncomfortable in his back after swinging in the top of the second inning." Lee Jae-won hit Heyesus' curve in the 1S situation, but he grounded out to shortstop. It's not a big injury, but it feels like muscle pain, but the replacement proceeded quickly to protect the player.
Lee Jae-won is a veteran of Hanwha's home turf with Choi Jae-hoon this season. In particular, he won 10 games in the first half as a catcher in charge of Weiss, and it remains to be seen how Lee Jae-won's sudden replacement will affect the game.
