The pain when a 148km fastball hits a lean area like a hand is beyond imagination. In some cases, it is not a special injury, but a shock alone can be a trauma.
Lotte Giants swept away their surprised hearts. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 27th, sighed with relief, saying, `Both Yoon Dong-hee and Ko Seung-min are fine today.'
Yoon Dong-hee hit Doosan pitcher Kwak Bin's fastball during the game against the Doosan Bears in Busan the previous day, making viewers' hearts flutter.
Yoon Dong-hee, who appeared at first base with one out in the bottom of the fourth inning, instantly cringed after being hit by the ball by his left hand swinging at the ball count of 3B2S. With his hands together, he stepped back and complained of pain.
Kwak Bin, who threw a dune, was also surprised. Kwak Bin came down to the home plate and looked at Yoon Dong-hee's condition and expressed his sorry. Kwak Bin, who met after the game, said of the situation at the time "I threw it to the outside, but I couldn't control it." I was so sorry. I don't think it's a big injury. Thank God."
However, Lotte said there was nothing unusual about it. "It's not enough to go to the hospital," he said, but decided to replace Yoon Dong-hee to protect the player. Prior to the defense in the top of the fifth inning, Shin Yoon-hoo was put in instead.

On this day, Lotte canceled Noh Jin-hyuk, Oh Sun-jin, Park Se-woong from the first team, and newly registered Lee Joo-chan, Lee Ho-joon, and Kim Min-seok. Coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `Veterans will be absent from the final training anyway, so it's a measure to give them a break in advance. I thought it would be better for young players to gain more experience in the game."
As for Lee In-han, who made his first hit on the previous day with a timely hit against Doosan's Hong Gun-hee, he was good in the second division and has a long hit. It's not easy to hit as a pinch hitter at the end of the first-team game, but he followed well. I was able to get this much more into my head when I hit one yesterday. It deserves confidence,' he encouraged.
