Why did Kim Ji-chan leave the game without even hitting a bat.
Samsung Lions' Kim Ji-chan was replaced after defending in the bottom of the second inning. I didn't get a single at-bat. It was not an injury. What happened.
Kim Ji-chan started the game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 18th as No. 9 center fielder. Samsung, which is engaged in a fierce five-way race, has to win the match by risking its life. Furthermore, the starting player on the day was ace Furado. I had to win the game.

| A game between Samsung and NC at Changwon NC Park on the 18th, and Samsung Furado, with two outs in the bottom of the second inning, is regretful, allowing a three-run triple to NC Kim Joo-won. Changwon= Reporter Huh Sang-wook's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.09.18/ |

However, the plan was twisted by allowing four runs in the second inning. The start was a double off the leadoff Davison. Davison's ball extended to center field. A hit that went to the fence but won't go over. However, center fielder Kim Ji-chan missed this ball. Obviously, it wasn't a very easy 'ball', but a ball that a professional should catch was also hit. However, he dropped the ball because he misplaced the drop point, and it was a double that should have been out.
Perhaps shaken by this, Furado received a timely hit from Kwon Hee-dong. After that, he gave up a hit to Kim Hwi-jip and a walk to Kim Hyung-joon, and was hit by Kim Joo-won with a three-base hit with two outs. Not everything is Kim Ji-chan's responsibility, but it was right that it started with Kim Ji-chan's error play.

During the inning shift, Kim Ji-chan offered comfort to Furado, but Furado ignored it and was caught on the broadcast screen. Furado may be angry, but Kim Ji-chan is also very upset.
On top of that, he was replaced by pinch hitter Lee Sung-kyu in his batting order at the top of the third inning. Since there are no special injuries, a scene that should be viewed as a reprimand replacement. Coach Park Jin-man really wanted to send a message that he should show a high level of concentration with the game just around the end of the season.
Anyway, it became the worst day for Kim Ji-chan.
