Samsung lost 9-11 in an away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 14th. What is more heartbreaking than the defeat on this day is the injury of the players. Kim Ji-chan was replaced during the game due to left ankle pain, and Choi Ji-kwang, a key bullpen, collapsed in extreme pain during pitching.
Choi Ji-kwang took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning with Samsung leading 9-7. Choi Ji-kwang, who took the mound in relief in a crisis, allowed Ha Jae-hoon, the first batter, to hit the ball and loaded the bases. Then, as the balk mistake came out, all the runners advanced, and then Lee Ji-young allowed a two-run timely hit. Choi Ji-kwang, who allowed three runs in an instant, allowed a 9-10 turnaround and committed a wild pitch again. However, he struck out Ko Myung-joon and took two outs with difficulty.
However, an abnormality occurred immediately after striking out. In the match against Ko Myung-joon, Choi Ji-kwang threw two consecutive curves on the full count and struck out swinging, and immediately after that, he collapsed on the mound due to severe pain in his right arm.

Samsung immediately moved Choi Ji-kwang to the SSG club cooperation hospital. But I couldn't do the normal check-up. An official from the Samsung club said, `I went to the hospital, but the examination was not conducted due to the severe pain. After stabilizing, an MRI examination is scheduled for later," he said.
Choi Ji-kwang went all the way to the hospital, but for an accurate condition check-up, he had to touch the pain area and take a detailed picture, but Choi Ji-kwang felt so much pain in his elbow that the test itself was impossible. An official from the Samsung club said "The player was so sick that I couldn't do the examination," he said.

Moreover, with this much pain, there is no hiding the ominous feeling that Choi Ji-kwang's elbow condition itself will not be good. I can't help but think about the worst. A bolt fell on the Samsung bullpen ahead of the postseason.
