It's literally 'Thank God '. Fortunately, Moon Dong-joo, who was hit in the right arm by the ball, was not injured.

Hanwha Eagles said about Moon Dong-ju's condition ahead of the final game of the weekend series against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 17th."X-ray examination found no specific findings," he said.

It's a relief for Korean baseball beyond Hanwha. Beyond 'Daejeon Prince', Moon Dong-ju is already a national ball star and an icon-like pitcher representing the KBO League. It is also the vanguard of the Korean baseball's arrest revolution represented by '161km'.




Moon Dong-joo was replaced by NC Choi Jung-won's pitching training ball after two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning when Hanwha was trailing 2-4 the previous day. The ball, which targeted a 137km fork ball for the third time in the ball count of 1B1S, hit Moon Dong-joo's right arm without even touching his glove.

Fans watching Moon Dong-joo, who was hit by the ball, was in pain for a while rolling on the mound, and their hearts were torn. Fans who visited the Changwon site with Moon Dong-ju's uniform or cheerleading on the day of Moon Dong-ju's starting lineup also shed tears. Choi Jung-won rushed to express his sorry, but Hanwha's coaches comforted him with a gesture that seemed to mean 'It's okay because it's during the game'.

Moon Dong-ju was immediately replaced, and Cho Dong-wook warmed up in a hurry and then replaced him. Moon Dong-ju was helped to the locker room and proceeded with the icing. The concern of those watching was great as it was 'throwing arm'.




Fortunately, Moon Dong-ju returned to Hanwha's dugout in the second half of the game, reassuring the fans somewhat.

Hanwha said "We conducted an X-ray examination this morning and found no special problems."But "There is swelling at the moment, so we will watch the condition for another two days or so and decide on future plans" he added.

Hanwha is trying to win the Korean Series for the first time in 26 years since 1999. Expectations for Moon Dong-ju are also higher than ever. Health comes first and foremost.
