Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung looked back on Son Ho-young's head shot moment the day before.
Lotte will play three consecutive weekend games against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 26th.
Son Ho-young was hit in the head by LG starter Choi Won-tae's pitch during the attack in the top of the first inning of the previous day. Choi Won-tae was sent off for this ball.
He is a player with frequent injuries and is actually the first player to play full time. It was one of Lotte's four points in the bottom of the first inning, but everyone was surprised because it had just returned from injury.

Is he in good condition. Coach Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said "I think it's okay "
The head is a very sensitive part. It is not just a story in cartoons that a batter or pitcher who is expected to be a promising player cannot recover his skills after being hit by a ball in the head. There are also several examples in reality. Lotte is no exception.
It was also a surprising moment for Kim Tae-hyung, the coach of the world. He seriously looked back, saying, `When players are in a situation where injuries can come to them, coaches tend to get nervous.'
Lotte has lost four games in a row and dropped to eighth place. It has 39 wins, 51 losses, 3 draws, and a winning rate of only 40 to 3 ri. It is also five games apart from the seventh-place SSG Landers.

Another way is for native starters like Wilkerson and Barnes to hold out seven to eight innings. Kim Jin-wook has been consistently showing good performance as a starter this year, but the previous day only five innings as the number of pitches increased.
"There is also a part where young players are pushed out of the fight. In the end, the player must overcome the burden and make it to win."
