Ryu Hyun-jin even replaced manager Ogo, but PS frustrated for 6 consecutive years, rebuilding season that was not finished

Hanwha lost 4-5 against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 24th. Hanwha (64 wins, 2 draws and 74 losses), which has four games to go, has a five-game gap with fifth-ranked KT Wiz (70 wins, 2 draws and 70 losses), making it impossible to advance to autumn baseball even if it wins the remaining games.
This season, Hanwha has had a more anticipated start than ever. It quickly melted into the team, with Chae Eun-sung, who was recruited as an FA last year, as the captain. Ahead of this season, An Chi-hong was also recruited as an FA to reinforce the infield.
One of the best is added. Ryu Hyun-jin, who joined the team in 2006 and played as an ace until 2012, has returned to the Major League. Hanwha welcomed Ryu Hyun-jin with the largest contract ever worth 17 billion won for eight years.

Right after the opening, the pace was all-time. He got off to his best start since his foundation with eight wins and two losses in 10 games. It was for a while, but I took first place and tasted the air at the top.
The sweetness didn't last long. After the opening seven consecutive wins were cut off, a terrible aftermath of the winning streak came. To make matters worse, abnormal signals were found throughout the starting team, including the departure of starting agent Kim Min-woo, who had the season at his best pace. Ryu Hyun-jin, who believed in it, needed a little longer time to adapt due to the introduction of ABS. The slump of foreign players such as Felix Peña also overlapped.

Manager Kim is a veteran player who led the gold medal myth of all nine games at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and succeeded in entering autumn baseball 10 times as the head coach of the Doosan Bears and the NC Dinos.
Hanwha, which transformed into Kim Kyung-moon, has entered a new round again. He checked by hiring a young player one by one along with a veteran midfielder.
Just in time, the pitching staff also found stability. The starters began to rotate smoothly, replacing both foreign pitchers, Ryu Hyun-jin's adaptation to the KBO, and Moon Dong-joo's revival, which was sluggish at the beginning of the season.

However, at the last moment, I was frustrated once again. Along with Moon Dong-ju's injury departure, the batting cycle also fell. Once again, the losing streak continued, and in the end, the fall baseball, which had been aimed at once again since 2018, failed.
In the end, Hanwha ended up only peeking out 'possibility' this season and once again finding a new face 'rebuilding' season. Eagles Park's last autumn festival will remain in 2018.
