"Why did you laugh when you saw him throw (Moon) Dongju?"
A sudden question from the 67-year-old director. It was a question full of laughter, but what was it like for a new pitcher who is 46 years apart.
Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 13th. Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon's expression was bright when he met before the game.
This is because Moon Dong-joo, who will be responsible for Hanwha's future, proved his strength by showing off his fastball of up to 159km. The head coach said, "I told you not to look forward to it."It's so nice. He smiled broadly, saying, "The best swing I've ever seen (Moon) Dong-ju."
Moon Dong-ju pitched well in the sixth inning with an 8-0 lead against the Incheon SSG Landers on the 11th, allowing 2K runs in one inning. In particular, Han Yu-sum struck out swinging with a fastball and Park Ji-hwan struck out three pitches. It was the first real game since the season ended early in September last year. On this day, Moon Dong-ju's fastball averaged 157 kilometers and reached a maximum of 159 kilometers.
However, head coach Kim Kyung-moon waved his hand when the story of Hanwha's ultra-fast young gun lineup, which leads to Moon Dong-ju, Kim Seo-hyun, and Jung Woo-ju, came out.

"I think it's too focused just because the ball is fast. I'm grateful, and in fact, the fast ball deserves to be proud enough. However, baseball is a sport that requires sophisticated ball control in addition to speed. The reason why Mingyu is drawing attention right now is not because his cheeks are fast. Strong and weak control is also necessary, and control is also important."
Kim Seo-hyun, who watched Moon Dong-ju's 159km fastball from the bullpen, was also caught smiling on the broadcast camera. At this time, Kim Seo-hyun, who was passing through the dugout and entering the locker room, was caught in the sight of head coach Kim Kyung-moon. Director Kim Kyung-moon said, "(Kim) Seo-hyun, did you laugh when you threw the (Moon) Dongju?," he said, drawing attention.

Kim Seo-hyun replied with a bright smile. It turned out that he made a bet over Moon Dong-ju's arrest, and Kim Seo-hyun got the figure of '159km' right.
Kim Seo-hyun is a player who has expressed his desire for a '160km fastball' since his high school days. Although he had a bit of a struggle on the professional stage, he is gradually adapting by posting 10 holds last year. The maximum fastball speed so far is known to be 156 kilometers.
Kim Seo-hyun says, "Please blur me out when you need a track man (speed gun)," he said, laughing at the audience.
