There's no bullpen. Moon Dong-joo (22, Hanwha Eagles) will return as the starter.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said ahead of the game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 25th that Moon Dong-ju will be the starting pitcher on the 27th.

Moon Dong-ju, who won the 'New King' with an 8-8 record and a 3.72 ERA in 2023, failed to complete the season last year due to injury. I struggled with back pain during the season, and my shoulder hurt at the end of the season. After allowing one run in six innings against the Doosan Bears on September 3, he was canceled from the entry and finished the season as it was.




I accompanied him to the spring camp, but he couldn't do it. As much as he was sick, he chose to slowly increase the number of pitches without injury.

Moon Dong-ju, who carefully built his body, played his first game in the exhibition game. In the game against SSG Landers on the 11th, he allowed no hits, one walk, two strikeouts and no runs in one inning. The maximum speed was 159 kilometers. After that, in the game against Lotte on the 14th, he kept the mound for a little longer with two scoreless innings.

Originally, Moon Dong-ju's plan to return was to go through the build-up process slowly after being left out of the opening rotation. Cho Dong-wook was scheduled for the fifth starting position without Moon Dong-ju.




As Moon Dong-joo quickly improved his sense of practice, he evaluated that he could start. Manager Kim throws "3 innings." However, I would be grateful if I filled all three innings. He expressed his intention to focus a little more on the number of pitches.

Following Moon Dong-ju, Cho Dong-wook, who was prepared as a starter, will be on standby. As much as he prepared as a starter, he would have been disappointed, but manager Kim urged "But if you block it well, you have a chance to become a winning pitcher."

Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin is the starting pitcher for Hanwha on the day. Coach Kim said, `I hope the players will do well for my birthday," he said.




Hanwha made the starting lineup in the order of Kim Tae-yeon (left fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (designated hitter), Esteban Floral (middle fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (second baseman), Lim Jong-chan (right fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (possession) and Shim Woo-jun (striker).
