Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon (66) encountered Kim Seo-hyun for the first time since taking office.
Hanwha registered Kim Seo-hyun as a special entry ahead of a double header against the Lotte Giants, which was scheduled to be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 30th.
Both games of the doubleheader were canceled due to rain, but head coach Kim Kyung-moon decided to accompany Kim Seo-hyun to the first team for the time being. Whether or not to register for the first team is still up in the air.
The head coach, who shed the burden of a doubleheader, looked brighter. He said "Coach and players or doubleheaders are also burdensome. I don't know well because I came back to the scene after a long time. "I'll prepare well for July."
As for Kim Seo-hyun, he emphasized that "a pitcher who will come to the first team one day anyway"." The plan is to keep Kim Seo-hyun in the first team until the All-Star break, although the official registration of the first team will be discussed later.

Kim Kyung-moon, who was born in 1958, is currently the oldest head coach of the 10 professional baseball teams. He is also close to 10 years apart from KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-chul (58), who is the second in his age.
On the other hand, Kim Seo-hyun is a second-year high school graduate pitcher this year. Last year, he entered the professional league with high expectations, but he did not achieve any noticeable results. Rather, it is a wandering period, with fastball speed falling and being criticized for relying on breaking balls.
Kim Seo-hyun, who briefly encountered him in the dugout before the briefing, looked very nervous. It is a call-up in a month since it was canceled from the first team on June 1. This season's Futures record is only 2 wins, 2 losses, 2 holds, 1 save and an 8.40 ERA in 15 games and 15 innings.

"I want to know what Kim Seo-hyun has in mind. It is said that there are many pitchers who throw more than 150km these days, but that doesn't mean you can throw 150km easily. In particular, (Kim Seo-hyun) is a high school graduate pitcher. If we manage it well and establish ourselves as the central pitcher of our Hanwha team, the team will be stronger."
For now, Kim Seo-hyun is a gemstone himself. Even at the time of joining the professional team, the ball was fast, but the pitching form was not fixed, so there were many concerns. He is a pitcher who still has a lot to think about, such as making changes to his pitching form, such as lowering his arm height at the end of May, but returning it to his high school form because it was not possible.

"I want to be relaxed and polished." We need time. Changing the pitching form also becomes easier only when you feel the part 'I shouldn't do it like this'. In the end, it's a matter of how you accept it."
