However, he was a player who didn't show much pain, and he didn't have a small impact. It was too much to continue the pitch. The trainer drew an X by hand, and was helped and replaced. Baek Jung-hyun's expression on his way back to the bench was distorted by pain.
An official from the Samsung team, who said, "'Baek Jung-hyun was replaced after being hit by a ball on his right thumb and face and eye area,' reported the sad news after the game, "'CT and X-ray examinations revealed microfractures of his right thumb and bruising of his left eyelid.'
Baek Jung-hyun, who had just recovered from his injury and was about to enter the playoff entry, was unable to play in the playoffs due to the batting accident. Initially, he was going to add strength to the bullpen in the playoffs, but it was unfortunately canceled.
Baek Jung-hyun's injury left following the corner. We need to fill Baek Jeong-hyun's vacancy right away.
Initially, Samsung was planning to select the final entry through a match between Blue and White. However, Baek Jung-hyun's unexpected departure from the injury complicated the plan.
Except for Won Tae-in and Reyes, who will be responsible for the selection of the first and second games, all participated on the day. A total of 12 pitchers took the mound except Baek Jung-hyun. The white team was left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, Kim Tae-hoon, Lee Sang-min, Kim Yoon-soo, Lim Chang-min, and the blue team was Hwang Dong-jae, Lee Ho-sung, Lee Seung-min, Song Eun-beom, Choi Chae-heung, right-hander Lee Seung-hyun, and Kim Jae-yoon. The game ended in the eighth inning because there was no more pitcher to climb.
A total of 14 pitchers threw a match between Sangmu on the 7th and Cheongbaek on the 9th, except for Baek Jeong-hyun. It is equal to the number of playoff pitcher entries.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said in a practice game, "We need to clean up the bullpen."," he said, suggesting the elimination of one or two pitchers. You can carry all the remaining players, or include one of the remaining pitchers in Gyeongsan at the moment.
If he expands his gaze, Oh Seung-hwan of Gwanrok can also be a target again.

It cannot be replaced by a left-hander bullpen instead of Baek Je-hyun. Lee Jae-ik is participating in the educational league. Currently, the left-hander bullpen pitcher in the entry is Choi Chae-heung, Lee Sang-min and Lee Seung-min.
Oh Seung-hwan may be the right person if he finds a veteran pitcher who will play Baek Jung-hyun's role in the bullpen.
On this day, 18 fielders participated in the final rehearsal. There are a total of three catchers, including Kang Min-ho, Lee Byung-hun and Kim Min-soo.
