Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon expressed regret over the collision between KIA Tigers Kim Do-young and Hanwha Eagles foreign hitter Jonathan Peraza. They emphasized respect and respect for each other.
Kim Do-young, who caught Jang Jin-hyuk's ground ball in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases against Hanwha-KIA in Gwangju on the 5th, collided with Peraza, who was playing from second base to third base.
Kim Do-young caught the ball on the side of Peraza's run, and Peraza tried to stop with his hand reaching forward, but the collision could not be avoided due to the speed he was already running. The inning ended due to Peraza's obstruction of defense, but he was lying on the ground for a while due to the impact of Kim Do-young's collision.
Even Peraza, who was worried about Kim Do-young, did not leave and continued to be by his side, expressing an apology. Kim Do-young got up and went into the dugout and was replaced in defense in the top of the ninth inning.
I wondered if the situation ended like that, but after striking out Jang Hyun-sik on three pitches in the top of the 10th inning, Peraza appeared furious by pointing his finger at the third-base KIA dugout and then entering the first-base dugout.
Coach Kim announced why Peraza was excited ahead of the away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 6th.
Director Kim first said "This is a very important time. The No. 1 team wants to quickly decide on the championship, and the other teams also need to play one game due to the ranking fight. "It is heartbreaking that not only our team but also the other team's main players are injured at this point. In particular, Kim Do-young is a superstar who has fans all over the country. I was also surprised that such a player was injured."
Coach Kim then said "But the regrettable part was that I heard bad words came from the bench in the scene where Peraza apologized to Kim Do-young. He said he was excited because he heard it like that."
Coach Kim said, `What if we thought the other way around and the opponent heard it?'" adding, `His team's players are precious, but the other team's players are precious, too. We're not even close to each other. Shouldn't we care for each other?" he said of the scene he was disappointed in that situation.
Coach Kim said "Peraza talked well after the game, and I understand that the head coaches talked well and solved it well by talking to each other on the phone. I hope it ends well at this point."
