A Samsung official said on the 31st that "Park Seung-gyu heard a crushed fracture of his right thumb yesterday (30th) as a result of examination at a hospital in Daejeon. On Monday, a hospital in Daegu will decide whether to operate or not after further medical treatment.'
Park Seung-gyu started as the eighth batter and left fielder in the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Hanwha pitcher Jung Woo-joo's fifth fastball headed toward his body, and eventually hit his finger. Park Seung-gyu was eventually replaced by Hong Hyun-bin as a pinch runner.
Park Seung-gyu, who joined Samsung in the second round of the rookie draft in 2019 (82nd overall), showed his presence in 91 games in 2020 with a batting average of 258 and 4 steals.
After joining the Armed Forces Sports Unit (hereinafter Sangmu) after the 2022 season, he was discharged from the military last year. However, he rehabilitated with back pain in Sangmu and started the season as a nurturing player. He entered the first-team entry on May 23 and stood tall as a first-team player as he filled Kim Ji-chan's injury gap.
In 64 games this season, he showed good performance with a batting average of 287, six home runs and five steals, with an OPS (long hit rate + on base rate) of 0.797, but he is on the verge of ending the season early due to unexpected dunes.
