Hanwha Eagles has reorganized the organization.

On the 14th, Hanwha carried out an organizational reorganization aimed at establishing a development team and a data science team" he said.

Hanwha explained, `This is the first reorganization since CEO Park Jong-tae took office, reflecting the will to become a prestigious club by strengthening its development and data capabilities.'

With the establishment of a new development team, it plans to establish a strategy to foster players by improving their independence and implement a plan to strengthen active evaluation and detailed management of each prospect.

Hanwha has previously recruited Tsuruoka Futures battery coach and has been preparing to strengthen its development by incorporating an advanced coaching system into the Futures team.

It will also operate an evaluation system for coach performance so that coaches can actively conduct coaching suitable for the club's direction through a roadmap for fostering each player. At the same time, the data analysis field that the existing strategy team was in charge of was subdivided into the data science team.

The data science team, where Son Cha-hoon, a power reinforcement co-founder, will also serve as the team leader, is divided into the first-team data analysis part (Jeon Jung-woo, part manager), the Futures data lab part (Park Ki-tae, part manager), and the power analysis part (Kim Seung-ri, part manager). In particular, the Futures Data Lab part will collaborate with the development team to foster systematic and scientific player types.

In addition to the data field, the Data Science team will also be in charge of maximizing player performance, such as establishing a healthcare center in the clubhouse, analyzing performance through advanced equipment, measuring, conditioning, and recovery.
