The baseball community was turned upside down by Ahn Woo-jin's 'absurd injury'.
Ahn Woo-jin, who played for Kiwoom Heroes and is currently serving in the military as a social service worker. On his day off ahead of his return in mid-September, he was joining Goyang Kiwoom's second-tier training ground to boost his sense of practice.
However, an unexpected major accident occurred. On the 2nd, he was dead after his own Cheongbaek match. Most teams impose penalty training on losing teams to boost morale. The name is a penalty, but it is an exercise to improve agility and stamina. On this day, Ahn Woo-jin's team lost. And Ahn Woo-jin fell while training for Pengo, and his right shoulder throwing the ball hit the floor and was injured.
The result was shocking. Ligament damage to the right scapular clavicle joint. He needed surgery immediately, and it was a serious injury that took a year just for rehabilitation.
It was news like Cheongcheon troops for Ahn Woo-jin, who immediately delayed the scenario of entering the U.S., Kiwoom, who dreamed of making another leap forward next season after rebuilding, and the national team preparing for the World Baseball Classic.
As the shock wave was large, stories of the level of 'Ghost Stories' began to spread slowly.
Ahn Woo-jin asked for the exclusion of training several times, but the coaching staff ignored it and forcibly trained him and caused an accident. Rumors spread in other teams and baseball circles were also diverse. Then, what on earth happened at the second-tier training ground that day. I checked the facts through on-site testimony.

It was a match between the blue and white in the fourth inning. Ahn Woo-jin pitched one inning in the first inning. Ahn Woo-jin filled 15 pitches that he lacked in the bullpen. He then conducted an elbow reinforcement program with a trainer. In the meantime, the four-inning game ended. After the game, a team meeting will be held. Ahn Woo-jin also rushed out. Here, the coaching staff instructed that the winning team should be trained to clean up, and the losing team should be instructed to be 'Fungo' as promised. At this time, he secretly told Ahn Woo-jin's part coach 'Can't I fall out?' The coach replied to Ahn Woo-jin 'But since we played together, shouldn't we do extra training together?' Ahn Woo-jin is going to train for the penalty with his colleague without much else to say.

In some cases, it was misinformed that Ahn Woo-jin received a harsh level of outfield funkos that pitchers did not need to receive. American Fungo, also known as 'dog-bop' is a hard training that constantly flies balls in the opposite direction of the catch and constantly follows the ball. The training is so intense that even professional outfielders are physically struggling. It is implemented to improve the outfielder's quickness and physical strength.
However, Ahn Woo-jin's fun-go was only played on the outfield ground, and he trained pitchers to handle ground balls. I fell down in the process of receiving one ball and the next.
There was no flying ball. It was also said that Ahn Woo-jin stepped on the ball and completely lost his balance and fell heavily, which is also not true.
We don't know the exact cause of whether the leg was twisted or why the center was shaken, but what is certain is that he fell while trying to catch a ground ball.

It is an important issue. There were also rumors that Ahn Woo-jin might think was unfair.
After Ahn Woo-jin finished taking a shower, changed his clothes, and got in his personal car for work, but a junior player followed him and said, "'Coaches tell me to come.'" When Ahn Woo-jin passed away, he was notified of the penalty training. If this is true, it can be admitted that the Kiwoom club forced more than necessary. However, an official from Kiwoom said, `How can we hide this fact in this day and age. It's absolutely groundless. After finishing the first inning, he spent time with personal treatment, and then came back to the ground and continued extra training." The official also had a few eyes on the suspicion that the club tried to cover up Ahn Woo-jin's injury, but it is impossible to hide. However, the delay in the announcement was an important player, and it was only to cross-check various hospitals and finally convey the condition after judging that the injury was unusual.
