It started off hot in May with baseball protected by the Hanwha Eagles. It won 3-1 against the KIA Tigers in 2025 professional baseball league held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 4th. It is another six-game winning streak. It had achieved six wins in the black through April, and has already added two wins to increase it to eight wins. It is displaying a tight race in baseball.스포츠토토
Hanwha's team batting average is only 237. It is ranking ninth, one notch ahead of the Kiwoom Heroes (.234). Nevertheless, it is ranking second. Strong pitching power is the biggest driving force. He is operating the strongest five starting pitchers in the league, and the bullpen pitcher lineup, represented by Han Seung-hyuk in the eighth inning and Kim Seo-hyun in the ninth inning, is also powerful. His team's defense ratio of 3.20 is ranking third.
Of course, he is not just a pitcher. He is contributing to the baseball team, which maintains strong defense capabilities. He showed off his team's solid defense capabilities at a game against the Kia Tigers in Gwangju last weekend. At the game on Sunday, Hwang Young-mook, who was at second base, kept a fantastic defense, erasing two hits. If both were missing, Um Sang-baek would have collapsed. It was a springboard for his team to secure victory in the bottom of the 11th inning in overtime at the 2-2 match.
The recruitment of Shim Woo-joon, an FA shortstop, has become a great move in defense. Shim Woo-joon's shortstop and foreign player Florentine have certainly strengthened the center line. Hanwha has 20 errors. It is the fourth smallest number. There are also few critical errors that affect the outcome.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon also said, "I got a lot better with Woo-jun. I didn't know Woo-jun would be this good at defense. There was always a problem with shortstop. As shortstop improves, other infielders also have a good influence. There is also an effect that pitchers can throw balls without anxiety."
Another is speed baseball, which is unique to coach Kim Kyung-moon. Kim is asking players to run to at least one base as it is okay for him to be out. Runners have become more active on the base. Players are naturally running base, with Roh Si-hwan, a homerun batter, stealing five bases. He has the most stolen bases (35) among the 10 teams.
Speed baseball is also strong in a one-point game with the pinch runner at the forefront. At the Gwangju game on the 4th, he showed the importance of a pinch runner in a tight race. When Kim Tae-yeon got on base with a hit to the right-center after one out in the top of the 8th inning, he used Lee Sang-hyuk as a pinch runner. KIA's Cho Sang-woo was also in a situation where he could not allow stolen bases because it was a one-point game. While focusing his energy on checks, he concentrated on the count with the batter (Florreal), and eventually gave up a double next to the right field.
Hanwha won the game thanks to Chae Eun-seong's timely hit and Lee Jin-young's sacrifice fly. At that time, the third baseman's speedy florreal drilled home despite being a short fly ball. It can be said that speed baseball led the game to come from behind. "It is not the Hanwha Eagles of the past. It has become really strong," an official at Kia said after the game on Wednesday. Hanwha says that Kim Kyung-moon's baseball team has begun to take root in earnest for its second year. It is eloquent that the competition to become the leader itself has solidified its power. If the lineup survives, it is expected to take an unbeatable step.
