Another injury hit Lotte. This time, outfielder Hwang Seong-bin (26), who led Lotte’s ‘running baseball’, was forced to take a hiatus for the time being due to a finger injury.

The moment Hwang Seong-bin was injured occurred in a match against LG at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th. Hwang Seong-bin, who started as the first hitter and left fielder, appeared at the end of the 3rd inning with a chance to run 2 out and 3 base, and hit a right-handed triple against LG starting pitcher Myung-geun Park. At this time, second baseman Seo Geon-chang’s catch mistake overlapped, and Hwang Seong-bin turned third base and dashed to the home plate, and was judged safe. It was a valuable goal for Lotte to turn 2-1.안전놀이터

However, he was injured while sliding. Hwang Seong-bin, who suffered a blow to his left index finger, was replaced by Kim Min-seok during defense in the top of the 4th inning and had to go to a nearby hospital. At the time, Hwang Seong-bin, who had been diagnosed with a bruise and a slight sprain on his left index finger, had no bone abnormalities. On the 12th, while receiving an X-ray and CT scan through a reexamination, he was told that he would need to be fixed in a half cast for the time being due to a microfracture of his left index finger. .

The timing of Hwang Seong-bin’s return has not yet been revealed in detail. An official from Lotte said, “We will decide when to return after confirming the improvement of Hwang Seong-bin’s condition due to the decrease in pain.”

Hwang Seong-bin, who established himself as Lotte’s new charge leader last year with a batting average close to 30% (.294), close to 100 hits (94), and 10 stolen bases, broke through fierce competition in the outfield and played a key role this season. took place But a sudden injury struck. His batting average is .438 this year, and he boasts an excellent batting sense that is tied for second place with Moon Seong-joo, adding to the regret.

Will Hwang Seong-bin be able to return to the ground quickly? Lotte coach Larry Sutton said, “We are looking at two to four weeks” about the time of Hwang Seong-bin’s return ahead of the resignation LG match on the 12th. On this day, Lotte registered right-handed pitcher Yoon Myeong-jun in the first-team entry. The outfield plans to operate with existing resources such as Ahn Kwon-soo and Kim Min-seok.

Players who play aggressive baseball like Hwang Seong-bin are at risk of injury. However, manager Sutton said, “I hope that players with an offensive identity will play baseball that makes good use of their strengths rather than worrying about the risk of injury.” Rather than worrying, I want you to play baseball aggressively.
