Veteran left-hander Baek Jung-hyun (37) of the Samsung Lions has become difficult to play in the playoffs due to an unexpected injury.
Baek Jung-hyun was hit by Kim Heon-gon’s right hand and left eye during his own Cheongbaek match at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 9th. 안전놀이터
Baek Jung-hyun immediately moved to Semyung Hospital for examination, and CT scans and X-ray examinations revealed microfractures of his right thumb and bruising of his left eyelid.
Baek Jung-hyun was 6-5 with a 5.95 ERA in 78 ⅔ innings in 17 games this season.
Park tried to use experienced Baek as a bullpen in the postseason. However, chances are high that Baek will be excluded from the roster as he suffered an unexpected injury with four days left before the PO.
Samsung’s pitching power became loose as foreign starting pitcher Connor Seabold was out of power due to right shoulder pain and former veteran Oh Seung-hwan was unable to play in the PO due to poor condition.
