Getting hit in the groin is always a baseball player’s worst fear on the court. Not only is the pain hard to endure, it is also very embarrassing. Recently, a Korean baseball player was unfortunately hit in the groin by the hard baseball. He persisted with the game and passed the ball to his teammate, even though he was in pain and couldn’t stand up.
During the KBO League’s match of NC DINOS versus KIA TIGERS, TIGERS’s number 54 player Yang Hyeon Jong was hit in the groin, when he threw the baseball and the opponent hit it back right towards his lower body in high speed. In great pain, he knelt down, but still picked up the ball and threw it to his teammate to prevent the opponent from making it to home base.
He was carried off the court by his teammates later on, with pain still showing on his face. After watching the video of this match, many netizens praised Yang for his sportsmanship, and pointed out that those who play baseball know how hard it is – for the ball and to endure such pain in the groin.
