Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 4th.

A foreign player with a familiar face appeared on the ground ahead of the Hanwha Eagles match.

The main character is James Nail, who was discharged from the hospital after surgery for a broken jaw. Nail, who appeared in the dugout in a training suit and sunglasses, spent time happily talking to domestic players as well as fellow foreign players such as Eric Lauer and Eric Stout.



The nails that I saw up close look fine on the outside. There were no surgical marks due to the shaggy beard, and all the swelling was gone. Conversations can also be made without being blocked by clear pronunciation. The rubber band was fixed to his upper and lower teeth to prevent his jaw from opening wide, indicating that he was injured. The nail interpreter said it was true that he was so anxious that he wondered if he could go around like this.

KIA's designated hospital signed an OK sign for Nail's outing to the ballpark, saying, `If it's really light, it's okay.' From the 3rd, Nail started to perform a simple intensity weight program at an indoor training center. A nutritionist in charge of the team is making a special liquid diet for nails who cannot eat chewing food yet.



KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, `Wouldn't you get better mentally if you move and meet people at the ballpark rather than just staying at home?'" adding, `If you move and tubing simply, your recovery will be much faster. It seems that the training part also judges it like that."

Nails came out because I was tired of staying in my room"Since he is not married, his family is not in Korea like other foreign players. I thought it would be better to meet my colleagues and exercise little by little rather than spend time in the room. " he revealed the background of the decision.

I clearly remember the scene at the time of the injury. Nails "I was throwing well that day, and I was in good condition. But it happened. I'm a ground ball-guided pitcher, so I've often had balls coming to my legs, but this is the first time I'm moderate with my face. "It's the worst situation for any pitcher to have a ball come to his face." "But I'm a lucky case." Didn't the ball fly into the temple or the eyeball?"

NC Matt Davidson, who hit the ball because it was such a big injury, could not hide his bewilderment, and the decision to replace it was soon made. Nail received a message from Davidson saying `I'm so sorry.' I also said 'It's okay' because I knew I didn't hit it like that intentionally. Still, Davison has a great sense of sorry. I keep in touch every day and report that my condition is getting better. I think I've gotten closer to Davison with this incident,' he said.

People around me are still worried about my nails like this. Whenever not only the team but also all the officials see nails that look so comfortable, they say 'Don't move'. Fans feel the same way. Nails are " (I started working out) After the article was published, I heard a lot from fans through personal SNS direct messages (DMs) that 'Please Don't Move' and 'The Korean Series Is More Important Than Now' I was grateful and touched by everyone's concern for me"I want to recover and throw it in the Korean Series."," he stressed.

The situation in which he suffered the biggest injury of his career. It can have a significant impact on future careers. Despite this, it is touching but unfamiliar to see a foreign player who calls himself to train and hangs out with his colleagues. Nails were so loved for coming to KIA. With this injury, I was able to feel it once again. Get better soon and I'm ready to commit to winning the championship." I could fully feel the sincerity in his expression and eyes.
