Park Seung-gyu underwent pin fixing surgery on the thumb of his right hand, which was injured at a hospital in downtown Daegu on the 1st. Fortunately, the operation was completed safely. Since it is a pulverized fracture, not a microfracture or a composite fracture, you can plan an exercise after watching the process of recovering as bones stick together in the future. Experts say that this kind of injury may take three months at the earliest to recover, and much longer than that if it is delayed. Basically, fractures, especially in sensitive areas such as fingers and toes, have small bones and a lot of movement, making it difficult to guarantee the exact recovery period. This is especially true for finger-crushing fractures.
In addition, finger recovery is the first problem for Park Seung-gyu, an athlete, and even if he recovers after a few months, he will have to build his whole body from scratch again. After finger recovery, it starts again at '0'.
It is all the more regrettable because it was Park Seung-gyu, who began to stand out in the first division this year after being discharged from the military last year. He has a batting average of 287 and an on-base percentage of 0.377 in 64 games this season. He has also hit six home runs, showing the best performance in all aspects since his professional debut. Coach Park Jin-man also actively used him as the first hitter or in the lower batting order, adding mobility to the team.

Park Seung-gyu, who entered the batter's box in the bottom of the seventh inning against Hanwha in Daejeon on August 30, was injured while facing Hanwha's fastball rookie pitcher Jung Woo-joo. In 2B2S, Jung Woo-joo's 5th pitch of 151km fast ball headed toward Park Seung-gyu's body and hit the right finger area that could not avoid the ball. I didn't have a good feeling because I threw the bat and complained of extreme pain. After the training coach quickly identified the condition, Park Seung-gyu was replaced as a pinch runner.
Jung Woo-joo, the person who threw the ball, was also forced to freeze. The pitcher also tried to play as hard as possible while the team was in a losing streak, but something unintended happened. Jung Woo-joo took off his hat and apologized to Park Seung-gyu, and after the game, he repeatedly conveyed his sorry over the phone. In an interview with Sports Chosun, Jung Woo-joo said, `I'm so sorry. I want to say sorry to Samsung fans," he bowed his head.
After moving straight to the hospital, the diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue, called a broken thumb, and the surgery was completed well in Daegu on Monday, the 1st. Park Seung-gyu, who now has to focus only on recovery. We have to wait and see the progress, but the key is whether we can participate in next year's spring camp in normal condition. As the finger is the most sensitive area to approach even when hitting and defending, perfect recovery is the top priority. After that, you can grab the bat again.
