Too close for comfort.

This pickoff-turned-horribly-wrong, brought to you by pitcher Lim Chang-yong of the Korean Baseball Organization's KIA Tigers, might have left Oh Jae-won of the Doosan Bears scarred for life. 

It's hard to tell if the ball heading directly for Jae-won's head was thrown intentionally, but one thing is for sure: He didn't take to it kindly.

Korean reports state Chang-yong was suspended three games and ordered to complete 120 hours of community service for the bad throw.
