Another accident broke out. SSG Landers foreign hitter Guillermo Herredia’s backswing hit the catcher, causing injury.
Hanwha manager Choi 꽁머니지급 Won-ho announced the news of catcher Choi Jae-hoon’s injury at a press briefing before the Incheon SSG match on the 30th. Microfracture injury on the back of the left hand.
However, the injury situation is regrettable. It was Eredia’s at-bat in the fifth inning against SSG on the 29th. In a two-ball-two strike against Jung Woo-ram, Eredia hit a foul ball. The question is next. After hitting, the backswing hit the back of Choi Jae-hoon’s left hand.
Choi Jae-hoon sat down in pain and hugged his left hand, and Eredia watched Choi Jae-hoon’s physical condition with a worried expression on the side. Since then, Choi Jae-hoon has been replaced by bruising pain.

Choi Jae-hoon had a hospital checkup, and a microfracture in the back of his left hand was found.
Choi Jae-hoon is scheduled to undergo a thorough examination at another hospital on the 31st, the day of rest, for a double check. I can catch it, but the blow is painful and it’s.
It plans to check how much fine fracture it is and how long it will take to recover through re-examination and schedule future rehabilitation.
Choi Jae-hoon’s absence, who is the main catcher and the second-largest on-base percentage after Noh Si-hwan in the team, is a blow to Hanwha Power.
Park Se-hyuk, who was hit in the head by Eredia’s swing in the sixth inning of the Hanwha-SSG match on April 14, is in pain.
It was last April. NC catcher Park Se-hyuk fell down after being hit in the head by Eredia’s backswing. He was taken by ambulance.
At that time, Eredia’s backswing hit Park Se-hyuk in the back of the head. The skin was torn and bleeding, and he complained of a big shock. I had an emergency suture at the hospital. Fortunately, about 2-3cm of the head was sewn and there were no other abnormalities.
However, there were aftereffects. Park returned after being on the injured list for 10 days, and Park Se-hyuk suffered from a batting average of 45 (1 hit in 22 at-bats) in seven games after his return.
Eredia has a batting average of .332, 11 home runs, 58 RBIs, and 50 points, OPS.889, in 82 games this season. He is ranked first in batting, fourth in RBIs, and fifth in most hits. He is playing well, and the catcher’s injury caused by the backswing seems to be a problem to be corrected. He may have his own batting form and swing trajectory, but he should not hurt other players.
LG Park Dong-won often hit catchers with a big swing in the past when he was in Kiwoom. Sometimes, he missed the bat and damaged the catcher. Park Dong-won fixed his swing when the catcher was frequently hit by the bat and the issue became controversial. Now, Park Dong-won’s backswing catcher is not right.
