"I'm sorry"

Chung Woo-joo of Hanwha Eagles called Park Seung-gyu of Samsung after the match against the Samsung Lions at Hansaeng Ball Park in Daejeon on April 30.

Jung Woo-joo, who took the mound as the second pitcher in the bottom of the seventh inning, caught the first batter Ryu Ji-hyuk with a fly ball to the second base and played against Park Seung-gyu.




The 151km fastball thrown for the fifth time in 2B2S headed toward Park Seung-gyu's body and hit Park Seung-gyu's right hand, who could not avoid the ball.

Park Seung-gyu threw his bat and complained of pain for a while. Jung Woo-joo froze and watched this. Park Seung-gyu, who received simple treatment from the trainer, walked to the first base and was replaced by runner Hong Hyun-bin. Jung Woo-joo took off his hat and apologized.

After the game, Jung Woo-joo immediately called Park Seung-gyu. "I'm sorry" he said, expressing his apologies. Park Seung-gyu replied "It's okay "




I hoped it wasn't a big injury, but the result wasn't good. The hospital examination revealed a broken fracture of the right thumb. An official from the Samsung team said "We will decide whether to operate after further treatment at a hospital in Daegu on Monday."

Jung Woo-joo, who learned of Park Seung-gyu's condition, repeatedly expressed his regret. Jung Woo-joo said yesterday that he was okay during the phone call, but I was so surprised after hearing about his injury through an article this morning"I'm so sorry" he said.

Samsung is a busy team in the rankings. Park Seung-gyu was helping the team rise by hitting a batting average of .36 percent in 10 games before the injury.




Park Seung-gyu, who joined Samsung in the second round of the rookie draft in 2019 (82nd overall), was discharged from the military athletic unit (hereinafter referred to as Sangmu). After failing to play properly last year due to back pain in Sangmu, he began to settle down in the first division in earnest this season.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man also expressed his heavy heart. Director Park said "Park Seung-gyu ran hard. There were many left-handed hitters in the lineup, so right-handed hitter Park Seung-kyu played a big role, but it's also a lot of loss for the team. "He also worked hard to defend and run with bad grit." I'm sorry for myself the most, but it's a big loss inside the team as well."

Upon hearing the news of the injury, Jung Woo-joo repeatedly apologized with a heavy heart. Jung Woo-joo " (to Park Seung-gyu) I'm so sorry. I also want to say sorry to Samsung fans," he bowed his head.
