How can you get such an absurd injury. Ko Woo-seok, who joined the spring camp and trained hard to make his big league debut, suffered a very embarrassing fracture.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCuller met with local reporters at a spring camp training session in Jupiter, Florida on the 20th (Korea time) and said, "Right-hander Ko Woo-suk suffered a fracture in his right index finger. It is scheduled to be re-examined in a few weeks."

According to local media reports such as 'MLB.com ', Ko Woo-seok felt uncomfortable with his fingers while pitching shadow using a towel in the weight room. And it is said that when I grabbed a certain grip, I felt a constant annoying discomfort. Eventually, he underwent a thorough examination at the hospital, and it seems that he suffered a fracture in his index finger during exercise.

It's a rather absurd injury. From Ko Woo-seok's point of view, it's like a bolt out of the blue. He trained as he always did, and there was no special injury situation, but the uncomfortable pain felt in his fingers eventually led to a fracture.

First of all, you have to rest for at least two to three weeks without catching the ball until the finger bone sticks. What a bolt out of the blue. Ko Woo-seok was on the list of invited players for Miami's Major League Spring Camp, and he joined the team and was about to take the mound in an exhibition game.

For Ko Woo-seok, it is an opportunity that has come once again. After being traded from the San Diego Padres to Miami last year, the opportunity to take the big league mound was expected, but the opportunity did not come and he finished the season in the minor leagues.

He thought he could get a chance if he took the mound in an exhibition game at the invitation of the spring camp and proved his value. However, this plan also went awry due to an absurd fracture injury. Usually, players who recover quickly recover from finger microfractures can recover within two weeks, but depending on the person, the subtle pain of 'very annoying' persists for more than that. Each recovery case has a different speed, and the pain felt by each player varies widely.

Once the pitching plan was 'Stop', Ko Woo-suk's preparation for the season was also disrupted. If the finger recovers in about two weeks, it can start pitching again in time for the opening, but if it is delayed further, the pitching program will also be delayed.
