How will Hanwha be different from Yang Sangmun.

The Hanwha Eagles have thrown a tremendous number of games this season. Despite the fact that it is early in the season, coach Kim Kyung-moon was appointed on behalf of coach Choi Won-ho despite the fact that the contract period was sufficient.

Usually, when a coach is new to a team, it is common to recruit so-called 'one's people' as coaches. Renowned coaches sometimes set up 'divisions' This is because you have to work together with leaders who agree with you to go through difficult paths.



However, no matter how much he took office during the season, coach Kim did not recruit a single new coach, raising questions. Of course, Hanwha's existing coaches were also talented coaches, so they had faith, but there was a deep meaning of manager Kim.

He took the helm during the season, so for now, he thought it was the top priority to understand the team. Communication with existing coaches was essential to get to know the team. And it could have been the best scenario to get to know the team and think about what is lacking and how to fill it.



So coach Kim watched the All-Star break. It was to praise the hard work of some coaches who worked hard until the first half and draw a new picture from the second half with new coaches who will be with him.

Manager Kim chose to replace the head coach to assist him at the closest distance and the pitching coach to take charge of the pitching part. In the case of Hanwha this season, many say that young and promising pitchers such as Moon Dong-ju, Hwang Joon-seo, Kim Seo-hyun and Cho Dong-wook are not able to burst into bloom properly.

In the meantime, Yang Sang-moon, a SPOTV commentator, leaked out first. Coach Kim also admitted the fact. Director Kim said, `Although Yang is also doing well on the air now, it is best for a leader to teach players on the field. You must have missed the scene. I'm grateful, too, and good things for each other."

Yang is considered the best expert in the pitching part. He has a lot of experience as a pitcher. And he is from 'Master ' who has a brilliant career as much as director Kim. When he was the manager of the Lotte Giants, he discovered and raised young players such as Kang Min-ho (Samsung) and Jang Won-jun (retired), and when he was the manager of the LG Twins, he actively carried out a generational change and caught both performances and rebuilding rabbits. Chae Eun-sung, who he raised during his time at LG, signed a 9 billion won FA contract with Hanwha and is claimed.

He works not only as a manager but also as a general manager of LG, and he also knows best what stance the leader should take to develop the team.

He is also close to Kim. When I was young, we played baseball together in Daeyeon Middle School in Busan. We went to Korea University together. Director Kim expressed his faith, saying "A friend like a younger brother." Member Yang also "It's because it's not known, but we're really close." He always blooms over baseball."

The director is said to be a lonely position. So we really need coaches to give advice and share our concerns. Now, there will be a strong support group next to head coach Kim.
