Following Na Sung-bum, Choi Hyung-woo finished the season due to injury.

 

KIA Tigers said on the 25th that Choi Hyung-woo was diagnosed with a fracture of the left clavicle.

 

Choi Hyung-woo will undergo clavicle fixation at a club-designated hospital and will take a total of four months to rehabilitate.

 

Choi Hyung-woo played as the fourth designated hitter in a game against KT Wiz at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 24th.

 

In the seventh inning, when KIA was dragged 1-0, Choi Hyung-woo hit a strong hit toward the second base. Second baseman Park Kyung-soo jumped, but he failed to catch the ball at once, and threw it to first base in a hurry and made an ambiguous throw.

 

First baseman Park Byung-ho collided with Choi Hyung-woo running to first base while catching the ball. Choi Hyung-woo collapsed on the ground and complained of pain in the collarbone. 토토사이트
