How hard did you get hit...

NC Dinos Choi Won-joon went out on his back. He complained of great pain after being hit with the ball he hit.

Choi Won-joon started as a second-center fielder against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park on the 19th.




Choi Won-joon entered the batter's box as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning when his team was losing 0-6. Choi Won-joon hit the sixth fastball thrown by Choi Jun-yong at the full count.

However, it was missed under the bat, and the ball turned sharply and hit Choi Won-joon's right knee.

Usually, a missed foul ball hits batters' legs, but usually they recover naturally after suffering from instant pain. However, as soon as Choi Won-joon was hit, he rolled over complaining of severe pain. Looking at the slow screen, I hit my knee slightly on the side.




Choi Won-joon couldn't get up even though the trainer came out to check his condition. Unluckily hit by a bad area can lead to major injuries such as fractures. In the end, Choi Won-joon, who couldn't get up alone, left the ground on his trainer's back.

In a hurry, Chun Jae-hwan came out as a pinch hitter, but he was struck out.

Choi Won-joon, a member of the KIA Tigers, contributed to last year's integrated championship and raised high expectations for this year's preliminary FA season. However, he suffered from severe sluggishness and wore an NC uniform through a trade during the season. He steadily sought to rebound by gaining opportunities in NC, but with his performance not rising, he even suffered an unfortunate injury.




An NC official said "Ideal treatment is being performed, and hospital checkups will be decided after seeing the condition later."
