Stout collapsed in front of the mound after giving up a walk to Jung Soo-bin with two outs and second base in the bottom of the second inning, trailing 2-3 against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium on the 19th.
Stout took the mound in the bottom of the second inning with a 2-0 lead. He gave up a double to leadoff batter Kim Jae-hwan and handled Yang Seok-hwan with a fly ball, but lost his first point when Jarrod Young hit a double to right field. While dealing with Kang Seung-ho's groundout, Kim Jae-ho hit a timely hit in the third base with two outs, and Lee Yoo-chan allowed a come-from-behind double in the left-center.

Surprised KIA coaches rushed out and checked their condition, and the stout soon got up. However, immediately after taking his right foot to check the pitch, he moved to the KIA dugout on the third base as if he thought it was no longer possible to pitch. He allowed four hits, one walk, and three runs in one ⅔ inning, a total of 39 pitches.
An official from KIA said "Stout felt uncomfortable in his left thigh after pitching, so he replaced it as protection. The hospital examination will be conducted after monitoring the condition,' he said.

The contract period between KIA and Stout is until the pennant race. KIA won a direct ticket to the Korean Series due to its early confirmation of the first place, but Stout, who is an injured substitute, is not eligible to play. One more mound was expected in the remaining schedule. However, due to an unexpected injury, 'Korean Dream' is on the verge of ending early.
