The Hanwha Eagles are in an unusual flow after the opening.
Hanwha has recorded 1 win and 6 losses since the opening until the 9th, and is at the bottom. I haven’t even played 10 matches yet, so grades aren’t that important, but the process is worse than the result. Hanwha suffered 3 blown saves, 3 overtime losses, and 2 endgame losses in 6 games.
Losing in overtime and losing by 1 point three times each means that they fought fiercely to the end, but on the contrary, if they continue to slip in a game like thin ice, they will not be able to escape the consciousness of losing at the bottom for three consecutive years. In particular, it is difficult for Hanwha, whose depth is still thin, to reverse the mid-to-late game as they move away from the rankings at the beginning of the season.
The current atmosphere is more shocking to Hanwha Ki, who dreamed of a reversal more than any other team this year. Hanwha recruited an outside free agent for the first time in six years ahead of the season. In particular, they hired outfielder Chae Eun-seong, pitcher Lee Tae-yang, and infielder Oh Seon-jin, by spending 9 billion won (six years), the highest amount for recruiting free agents outside the club. Internal free agent Jang Si-hwan was also caught. He traded Geopo prospects born in 2000 and recruited pitcher Han Seung-hyuk and pitcher Jang Ji-soo from the KIA.
CEO Park Chan-hyeok set up a TF team to receive investment from the parent company, and under new head Sohn Hyuk’s ambitious plan, he was determined to get out of the bottom somehow this year. Beyond this, he was determined to aim for fall baseball for the first time in five years. However, from the beginning, it was not the flower road that laid in front of Hanwha, but the thorny road.
In particular, it is painful that first starter Birch Smith missed the opening match against Gocheok Kiwoom on the 1st due to a Dae Won-geun injury. It’s not a big injury, but for the time being, a replacement starter is needed. The pitcher who was selected as an alternative starter was Nam Ji-min, born in 2001. On the 11th, he will make his first start against Yang Hyeon-jong against KIA in Gwangju.
Nam Ji-min took the mound in the 10th overtime against SSG on the 8th with a score of 5-5 and was in danger of one company being loaded. 7 teams lost. Nam Ji-min became the losing pitcher in the first appearance of the season. 메이저사이트
Hanwha won 8-1 against Daegu Samsung on the 6th, after the opening 4 games, based on Moon Dong-joo’s 5 innings, 1 hit, 4 strikeouts, 1 walk, no run pitching. After 3 consecutive losses, 1 win, and then another 3 consecutive losses, can another ‘boy head’ appear in Hanwha? We should expect a good fight from Nam Ji-min, who has the ‘fighting chicken’ mentality that coach Carlos Subero likes.
