LG Twins' powerful hitter Moon Jeong-bin suffered a significant blow during a game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on July 29th. The designated hitter, batting cleanup, was struck directly on his left hand by a blistering 143 kph (approximately 89 mph) fastball.

The impact was severe, leaving Moon visibly shaken and his hand deeply bruised. He was immediately removed from the game and is scheduled to undergo a medical examination to assess the extent of the injury. The incident occurred during the 11th game of the season between the two teams.

His on-base plus slugging (OPS) stood at a remarkable 1.233, indicating he has been a major offensive force for the LG Twins, carrying the team alongside teammate Austin.
