This is to express his apology on behalf of Matt Davidson, who asked after the injured foreign pitcher James Nail and hit the ball. Nail was hit on the chin by Davison, who hit the leadoff batter in the bottom of the sixth inning. He tried to catch the ball for a while with his chin appreciated, but soon took off his glove and ran to the dugout. The part where you can see how serious the injury was. Davison, who took the first base, also looked bewildered. Kang replaced Davison with a pinch runner.
As a result of the examination the next day, Nail was found to have a broken jaw joint and went to the operating table in Seoul. As well as the pennant race, the return of the rest of the season's schedule has become unclear.
Ahead of the match against KIA on the 25th, Kang said "When I talked to manager Lee Bum-ho on the phone, he said "It's okay," but his voice was so bad. I'm just sorry." He didn't say "Davidson would exclude". (During Nail's injury measures and KIA pitching replacement), he was stabilizing in the dugout for a while, but he looked very embarrassed, with his eyes shaking. So I decided that it's better to exclude him from the game", he explained.
Coach Kang, who has been in the KBO League for nearly 30 years from his active days to leaders, has seen similar injuries several times. It was never a pleasant scene. "I watched (NC) Choi Sung-young get hit last year, even when former coach Kim Won-hyung or coach Choi Sang-deok got hit (when he was a player)," he confessed. "There is a trauma to this scene."
