San Diego's Kim Ha-sung, who was hit on the back of his left hand by a 152km/h fast ball, fortunately avoided major injuries.

"When I was hit by the ball, I was very afraid (that it would lead to a serious injury)," Kim told the San Diego Union-Tribune after the 2024 home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the U.S. Major League Baseball at Petco Park in San Diego. "I felt it getting better as time passed. Now I feel much better."메이저 토토사이트

Kim Ha-sung, who started as the ninth batter's shortstop, was hit in the back of his left hand by a 152km/h sinker by Dodgers starter Walker Buehler in the bottom of the fourth inning at the 1st and 2nd bases.

Kim Ha-sung, who complained of pain, walked out to first base for now, and was out at second base and returned to the dugout when the follow-up batter Luis Araes hit an infield grounder.

Coach Mike Shildt called Kim Ha-sung to the bench when he was defending in the top of the fifth inning.

Coach Silt said, "The trainer diagnosed that there was no major problem with the back of Kim Ha-sung's hand, and that he would get better and better, so I put him at first base," and explained, "I replaced him because I thought Kim Ha-sung would need time to recover after the airlift shift."

The San Diego club said, "Kim Ha-sung underwent an X-ray examination, and no major abnormalities were found. He tested negative."

Kim Ha-sung said he is not expected to be on the injured list (IL), but "The back of his hand is still quite swollen, so we will know tomorrow whether he will play in the game."
