Oh, why is Choi Hyungwoo suddenly.

It was a surprising moment for everyone involved in the KIA Tigers. Amid a series of injuries, veteran Choi Hyung-woo, who survived the first half with tremendous fighting spirit and concentration, was suddenly replaced.

Choi Hyung-woo started the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 8th as the designated hitter. Choi Hyung-woo was keeping his No. 4 position with outstanding health and physical management, with key players such as Kim Do-young, Na Sung-bum, and Kim Sun-bin, and even 'Gum' players such as Park Jung-woo and Yoon Do-hyun leaving due to string injuries.

"There is no main charge. The players here are the main players. KIA participated in the top-ranked battle at the end of the first half as backup players such as new star Oh Sun-woo revolted under the leadership of Choi Hyung-woo, who said, "Even if injured players return, never give up their seats." It was a miracle move. Backup players such as Ko Jong-wook, Kim Ho-ryeong and Park Min, whose roles have been limited, have performed really well, but it is highly likely that this would have been impossible without Choi Hyung-woo's strong support.

However, Choi Hyung-woo surprised everyone ahead of the closing of the first half. With one out and no runner in the top of the third inning, he walked to base. And when the follow-up hitter Oh Sun-woo's double on the right field line, he played hard until third base.

Choi Hyung-woo complained of a slight discomfort in his leg toward third base coach Cho Jae-young, and eventually the KIA bench put in pinch runner Lee Chang-jin. Although his facial expression was not serious in the dugout after the replacement, KIA, which has been suffering from injury all season, has no choice but to beat the stone bridge and cross it. KIA, which has been devastated by Kim Do-young's two hamstring injuries, is in a state of exhaustion if it is a hamstring injury. Park Jung-woo is also out for a long time due to a hamstring injury.




An official from KIA said, `Choi Hyung-woo felt tight in his right hamstring during the baserunning process. So I slowed down in a hurry. First, we will do icing treatment, and we will do a hospital examination later depending on the player's condition."
