"You have to be stronger in March when you meet again."

The Hanwha Eagles finished the 2024 season eighth with 66 wins, two draws and 76 losses. Fall baseball frustration for the sixth consecutive year since 2018. This is Hanwha's cold-hearted report card.

There have been many ups and downs this season. Ahn Chi-hong was recruited as an FA, and Ryu Hyun-jin returned from his major league career. As there are clear reinforcement factors in pitching and hitting, expectations for grades have been higher than ever.

At the club level, he started with confidence enough to declare that the rebuilding is over. Since the opening, he has recorded eight wins and two losses in 10 games, even his best start.

However, Hanwha later experienced a crash. The pitching and batting were out of alignment, and the new joining power seemed to need an adaptation period. To make matters worse, there were even certain injuries such as Kim Min-woo.

In the end, Hanwha broke up with Choi Won-ho, who started the season, and appointed head coach Kim Kyung-moon as 'Veteran'. Director Kim's career is spectacular. He won the 2008 Beijing Olympics and led 10 fall baseball games in 14 seasons while serving as the head coach of the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos.

Hanwha was ranked eighth with 21 wins, 1 draw and 29 losses when Kim was appointed. Manager Kim aimed to recover the 50% winning rate and to play baseball in the fall.

In early September, Hanwha successfully trailed fifth-ranked KT Wiz by up to one game. However, once again, the batting cycle fell and, to make matters worse, even Moon Dong-joo, who was showing good performance on the mound in the second half, fell out due to injury, ending the season in eighth place.

the height of the postseason. Hanwha quickly prepared for the next one.

First of all, he started to make changes to the coaching staff. While coach Kang Dong-woo expressed his intention to resign, former NC Dinos coach Kim Min-ho was hired as the first-team hitting coach. I worked with coach Kim when I was in NC. Hanwha plans to make additional coaching staff changes.

At the same time, the team also started finishing training early.

Coach Kim said ahead of the final game of the season when the ranking was confirmed, "I should be able to keep my promise to the fans, but I'm sorry I couldn't keep it this year."He said, "I only think that I have to be stronger in March when I sweat and work hard with the players and meet again at the end of the season with the mind of starting again at the end of the season.'

Rookie players will also join the team in mid-October to determine whether they will join the team next year.Director Kim said, `I think I'll be able to see you practice for a week or so. Some of the rookies might be able to take them to the closing camp."

There are no exceptions from veterans to the youngest. Coach Kim said, `Even players with injuries can come here for treatment. The season ended early because something was lacking and weak. I didn't make it to the postseason, so I have to prepare more. Players who are not feeling well should rest and receive treatment, and there are weights, so we need to reinforce them for next year"I think we should prepare for the bass learning and the details" heralding a busy autumn.
