Hanwha Eagles player Shim Woo-jun (30) was replaced due to being hit by a pitch.
Shim entered the game as a starting shortstop batting ninth against the Kiwoom Heroes at the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th during the '2025 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League.'
With both teams tied 0-0, Shim Woo-jun, leading off in the third inning, reached base with a hit. He then attempted to advance to third on Esteban Florial's hit but was called out. However, the call was overturned after video review, successfully creating a one out, runners on first and third opportunity. Later, he scored the first run on Moon Hyun-bin's sacrifice fly.
Shim stepped up to bat for his second plate appearance in the fourth inning with no outs and a runner on first base. However, he was hit by a fastball traveling at 145 km/h from left-handed reliever Son Hyun-ki, striking his left knee. Shim, who complained of pain, was eventually replaced by pinch runner YIDO, finishing the game.
Hanwha noted, "Shim Woo-jun was substituted for player protection due to a bruise from being hit on the left knee and is currently undergoing icing."
Before this game, Shim had a batting average of .161 over 32 games this season, with 15 hits in 93 at-bats, one home run, nine RBIs, nine runs scored, and three stolen bases, resulting in an OPS of .435. In this game, he had one hit in one at-bat, scored one run, and was hit by a pitch but was subbed out due to injury, leaving a sense of disappointment.
