Choi Jeong (37, SSG Landers), who returned after a short layoff and set a new KBO personal home run record after being hit in the ribs by a pitcher’s ball, was diagnosed with a ‘simple bruise’ rather than a ‘fracture’. This means that the worst case scenario has been avoided.
Professional baseball SSG said on the 18th, “Choi Jeong underwent additional examinations at two hospitals this morning and afternoon.
Both places gave the same diagnosis of a simple bruise on the left ribs,” he said “It’s difficult to compete until the pain is relieved.” “After checking my physical condition, I intend to decide if I should participate or not,” he said.
First of all, a ‘long-term exodus’ was avoided.
He did not ban SSG Choi Jeong from the first team. This means that Choi Jeong is expected to return to the field within 10 days.
Choi Jeong-eun started as a 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 had been complaining 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 a ‘suspected micro-fracture of the left rib.’
If it is a micro-fracture injury, a long-term absence of more than a month is inevitable.
However, a close examination on the 18th revealed a diagnosis of ‘simple bruising’, 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 career home run against KIA on the 16th, tying Doosan Bears coach Seung-yeop Lee’s record for 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 a KBO career. Thanks to avoiding the long-term exit that was feared, Choi Jeong can challenge for a new record again soon.
