Will Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles) be able to laugh at the revived lineup.

Hanwha will face the Kiwoom Heroes at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 11th.

The starting pitcher for Hanwha is Ryu Hyun-jin. Ryu Hyun-jin, who pitched 17 innings in three games this season, has a 3.18 ERA.




Ryu Hyun-jin, who had a quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) in two games since the opening, allowed four runs in five innings against Samsung, which was his latest appearance.

The previous two games did not hit terribly, and on the 5th, the scoring support came out late and missed the first chance to win. Ryu Hyun-jin's average scoring support in three games is only one point.

Recently, the atmosphere of Hanwha's batting lineup is different from the previous game. In the previous three consecutive games in Jamsil against the Doosan Bears, he is hitting a batting average of 311.




As the hit revived, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon's 'running baseball' is also easily unfolding.

On the 10th, an all-time record was born. He stole five bases in the sixth inning alone, including Floral's home steel. Five steals in one inning is LG's record of the most stolen bases in one inning achieved against Gwangju Haitai (currently KIA) in 1990 and the sixth in history. Hanwha, with its running baseball at the forefront, won its second consecutive game by overpowering Doosan 7-2.

Manager Kim brought the flow of the game by making a five-run big inning with active base play in the sixth inning and concentrating after two," he said, welcoming the team's lineup, which has gained vitality.




As for Ryu Hyun-jin, an atmosphere has been created where he can expect ample scoring support.

The two made their major league debut with the Dodgers in 2013. He showed off his extraordinary friendship and played for the Dodgers for eight years until 2018.

Puig played for Kiwoom in 2022, but at that time, Ryu Hyun-jin was playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. Ryu Hyun-jin returned to the KBO League in the 2024 season.

The two faced off once on May 20, 2019. Ryu Hyun-jin, a Dodgers starter at the time, faced Puig, who came out as Cincinnati's fourth hitter. The result is Ryu Hyun-jin's complete victory. Ryu Hyun-jin stopped the game without a hit in three at-bats. There was also one double play.

Puig, who came back to the KBO League, is playing as Kiwoom's table setter and has a batting average of 254, three home runs, 10 RBIs, and an OPS (long hitting rate + on base rate) of 0.776 in 16 games.
