Returns after a short break and sets a new KBO personal home run record

Choi Jeong is suffering

Choi Jeong (37, SSG Landers), who was hit in the rib area by a pitcher’s ball, was diagnosed with ‘simple bruise’ rather than ‘incontinence’.

This means that the worst situation has been avoided.

Professional baseball SSG said on the 18th, “Choi Jeong underwent additional examinations at two hospitals this morning and afternoon. Both hospitals gave the same diagnosis, ‘a simple bruise in the left rib area.’ It is difficult for him to play until the pain is alleviated. Please check his physical condition. “After inspection, we plan to decide whether to participate or not,” he said.

First of all, ‘long-term departure’ was avoided.

Choi Jeong-eun started as the third batter and third baseman in the home game against the KIA Tigers held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 17th, and was hit by a ball thrown by KIA starter William Crowe in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning when the team was down 0-2.

Choi Jeong, who complained of pain for a long time, walked to first base, but was immediately replaced by pinch runner Park Ji-hwan.

He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for a detailed examination, and the hospital diagnosed him with ‘suspected microfracture of the left rib.’

If it is a microfracture injury, long-term absence of more than a month is inevitable.

However, a detailed examination on the 18th revealed a diagnosis of ‘simple bruise’, avoiding the long-term loss that had been feared.

For now, Choi Jeong plans to take a short break and focus on recovery.

Choi Jeong-eun hit his 467th home run in his career against KIA on the 16th, tying Doosan Bears coach Seung-yeop Lee’s record for the most home runs in the KBO.

If one home run is added, Jeong Choi will rise to first place with the most home runs in KBO’s career.

Thanks to avoiding the long-term departure that was feared, Choi Jeong can soon challenge for a new record again. 스포츠토토
