KIA Tigers' James Nail, who surprised everyone with an unexpected injury, released his postoperative appearance and message on SNS. Nail took the mound as a starting pitcher in an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 24th, but suffered an unexpected injury.
Nail, who had been pitching scoreless until the fifth inning, faced NC's leadoff hitter Matt Davison in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Davison's hit hit directly on Nail's chin and fell. It was an injury scene that shocked everyone. Nail went straight down the mound and ran into the back of the dugout. Everyone was shocked when a huge situation happened so quickly. KIA hurriedly replaced the pitcher, and Nail went to a nearby hospital for the first examination.
As a result of the examination, it was found that the fracture and surgery were necessary within 24 hours, and after the KIA front office mobilized all the networks to inquire, it was heard that the surgery was possible immediately at Asan Medical Center in Seoul. Nail moved to Asan Medical Center in Seoul by ambulance and underwent about three hours of surgery on the morning of the 25th.

The nail then wrote a message in English and Korean, "I sincerely thank everyone who worried and prayed for me. God took good care of me last night. The surgery went well, and now I'm focused on recovering", indicating that the operation was completed well.
We would like to thank the Asan Medical Center officials for their help in surgery and treatment, and we would also like to thank the KIA Tigers and NC Dinos teams. Way to go."
