"I'll go talk to you then."

The Hanwha Eagles will start at a new stadium this season. Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark, Hanwha's new stadium, made its official debut in an exhibition game against the Samsung Lions on the 17th after the opening ceremony on the 5th.

The moment he left the stadium where he had been together for 39 years since 1986 to announce a new start. Naturally, attention is being paid to a lot of 'opening selections'.

Hanwha's home opener is against the KIA Tigers on the 28th. Considering the rotation, the pitcher who played in the regular season opener against the KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 22nd will play in the home opener.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon is reticent about the starting pitcher for the opening game. It will be officially released on Media Day on the 20th. Director Kim said, `I'll go talk to you then" smiled.

Considering the symbolic, Ryu Hyun-jin is the best looking. It is said that he is a representative player of Hanwha and is expected to be permanent after retirement. There is also plenty of skill. Although he hit a home run in an exhibition game against the Lotte Giants on the 13th, he finished the first inspection smoothly with two runs in four innings. Ryu Hyun-jin also smiled, saying, `Overall, I'm satisfied.'

However, Hanwha's foreign one-two punch is better than ever. In particular, the momentum of foreign players is extraordinary. Cody Ponce throws a maximum of 155km/h and shows off his strength with three hits and 10 strikeouts in nine innings in two exhibition games.

Ryan Weiss, who won 5-5 with a 3.73 ERA in 16 games for Hanwha last year, has also been upgraded to one run with 12 strikeouts in nine ⅔ innings in two games.

Director Kim said "Ponce looks good, and Weiss looks good, too. There's also Ryu Hyunjin. The pitching staff will have a sense of stability compared to last year."

Hanwha cast a wary eye on the opponents they encounter. KT manager Lee Kang-chul, Hanwha's opening opponent, said "Ponce seems to have the best ball. The form is so pretty too," he said, giving a compliment full of boundaries. Manager Lee said, `I think Ryu Hyun-jin is the weakest in the Hanwha starting lineup" jokingly emphasized the power of Hanwha's starting lineup.

Ponce is likely to be considering only the rotation of the exhibition game considering the rest schedule. As Ponce took the mound against NC on the 16th, he can play in the opening game on the 22nd after a five-day break.

Kris Nail is the most likely starter for the KIA Tigers, Hanwha's home opener. If there are no variables such as sudden cancellation of rain, the starter of the opening game will play in the first game of Hanwha's new stadium.

KBO will open on the 22nd after an exhibition game on the 19th. Coach Kim said of the opening entry, `There have been records of playing until now, and some came out to some extent. It's either the pitcher or the fielder who decides the last one here. There are at most three people. It's an important time in this process. "There are more fielders because the starters come in late at first. Every time a starter comes in, he falls out one by one, and each game can be very big, so it can be a sensitive moment" he was cautious.
