NC is playing the first game of a three-game weekend series home series against the Lotte Giants at Changwon NC Park on the 26th. In this 'Nakdong River Derby', 17,891 tickets per game were sold out in all three consecutive games. It is the first time that all three consecutive games have been sold out in NC's 14th year.
However, on the first day of the celebration, the leading hitter collapsed due to his injury. Park Kun-woo had the bad luck of being hit twice by his side, wrist, and dune. Both were 146km fastballs.
In particular, the dune hit on the second wrist was a problem. Immediately after being hit by the ball, Park Kun-woo rolled back and complained of great pain, and was evacuated by ambulance. NC hurriedly replaced Kim Sung-wook instead of Park Kun-woo.
As a result of undergoing CT scans and other tests at Cheonga Hospital, the NC club's designated hospital, Park Gun-woo was found to be 's suspected right wrist fracture'. It's a fastball, not a breaking ball, and it seems to have spread to a major injury after being directly hit by the right wrist trying to swing the bat in the process of digging into the body.
The NC club will undergo a second round of scrutiny in Seoul. As soon as the results of the second test are released, a treatment plan will be established in the future.'
The first pitch hit the side in the bottom of the first inning with one out and one on the first base. Even at that time, Park Kun-woo was in pain for a while, sitting down at the batter's box clutching his side. Commentator Kim Tae-kyun felt sorry, saying, `I've been through that a lot when I was active, but I'm really out of breath and can't breathe.'
However, the second dune was a bigger blow. Park Kun-woo entered the batter's box in the bottom of the third inning with one out and no runners. Park Kun-woo, who had picked out the ball until the end, was hit on the right wrist on Park Se-woong's 7th pitch, 146km fastball.
Park Gun-woo moved from Doosan to NC for up to 10 billion won for six years ahead of the 2022 season. Since then, it has shown high efficiency of more than 30% high batting average, double-digit home runs, and OPS (on-base plus slugging) around 0.870 without skipping. He is also a member of the national team's recent national team, including the 2017 and 2023 WBC (World Baseball Classic), the 2019 Premier 12, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
This year, in particular, he had his best performance since moving to NC with a batting average of 344, 13 homers and 53 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.948.
