"We have to experience how hard it will be to go out."

Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd, when the opening match between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles was held.

It was the opening game between the two teams with many stories, and among them, Shim Woo-joon and Um Sang-baek's visit to Hanwha, who played for KT until last season, made a "FA jackpot" and went to Hanwha, drew attention.

Shim Woo-joon transferred to the FA for 4 years and 5 billion won and Um Sang-baek for 7.8 billion won. And I visited Suwon from the opening game. Before the game, the two visited coach Lee Kang-chul, coaching staff, and former teammates to welcome them.

Um Sang-baek is not starting this series, but Shim Woo-joon started as a No. 9 shortstop and immediately faced his former team. Ahead of the game, coach Lee laughed, saying "If Shim Woo-joon (quick) goes out, it's our turn to go through how hard it will be."

A transfer to the FA is a player's right. It may be a pity to leave, but it can't be stopped. Rather, it is something to celebrate. Shim Woo-joon entered his first at-bat in the top of the third inning with two outs and no runners. Shim Woo-joon took off his helmet and greeted KT fans on the first base first, bowed his head to the center, and politely greeted Hanwha fans, the new third-base home team. Center head Park Geun-young did not forget 'romantic consideration', such as maintaining the home plate and taking time to give Shim Woo-joon time to greet.

KT fans applauded Shim Woo-joon, who visited Wiz Park again. Hanwha fans also cheered for their new family member Shim Woo-joon.

Shim Woo-joon successfully completed his first at-bat in a Hanwha uniform by getting a straight walk against KT starter Heyesus. A ball came in that was completely out of the 3B situation, but maybe I mistook the count and couldn't think of going to first base He ran towards first base late on. It means that you're that nervous.

Shim Woo-joon also stole second base during Kim Tae-yeon's at-bat. And when Kim Tae-yeon had a lucky Texas hit, he homered with his fast feet and made a valuable score to chase from 0-2 to 1-2. His first score of the season became Hanwha's first score of the season. It is a fresh start to the 5 billion won contract.
