"Samsung hitters did a good job."

'Ace', which collapsed with 12 hits in two consecutive games. The head coach gave words of encouragement rather than concern.

Ryu Hyun-jin started against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on the 7th and recorded 12 hits (one home run), two walks, three strikeouts and seven runs in five innings. After allowing 12 hits and six runs (five earned) in the game against KT on April 31, Ryu was allowed to have 12 hits in two consecutive games. His 12 hits were the most hits in both the KBO and Major League since his debut.



The ace he trusted gave up the game as he shook, but Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon worried about the weight Ryu Hyun-jin carried rather than regret.

Manager Kim said "Samsung hitters hit well" and "If the expectations are high, that's how stressful it is." I have some knowledge of the stress.'



Ryu Hyun-jin won 98 games until 2012 after joining the Hanwha Eagles in 2006, and has played in the major leagues since then. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was recognized for his skills by ranking first in the Major League with the largest ERA and second in the Cy Young Award voting, returned to Hanwha ahead of this season by signing an eight-year contract worth 17 billion won.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the KBO League under the best treatment, went 6-7 with a 4.28 ERA in 21 games. Although the variety of breaking balls and sharp control remained, the level of KBO league hitters has risen more than before, and there have been many areas to adapt, including the introduction of ABS.

Years have passed, but Ryu Hyun-jin is still expected as Hanwha's ace. Ryu Hyun-jin is also forced to throw the ball under pressure to win when his team's performance is less than 50%. However, manager Kim hoped Ryu Hyun-jin would put down a little responsibility and throw the ball out of comfort. Coach Kim said, `I hope I can relieve the pressure of throwing well every time I throw it.'

Meanwhile, Hanwha, which finished its first two games with one win and one loss in three consecutive games against Samsung, will challenge the Winning Series. The starting pitchers were Moon Dong-ju, Jonathan Peraza (designated hitter), Kim In-hwan (left fielder), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-seong (first baseman), Ahn Chi-hong (second baseman), Hwang Young-mook (striker), Choi Jae-hoon (fox), and Jang Jin-hyuk (middle fielder).

Hwang Young-mook will start as shortstop after May 18. Coach Kim said, "(Ha) has been the starting player and has played a few games well. It's not that Young-mook couldn't go out because he couldn't. I thought I should give him a chance now, so I started him as a shortstop. "
