It means cycles, ups and downs. Baseball is that the lineup, which scored 10 points the previous day, is defeated overnight.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who has been through all his career, knows this nature of baseball better than anyone else.
Each team in charge found a detour. The solution is a baseball without ups and downs.
He discovered fast players and made a 'running baseball' based on them. The Doosan Bears, led by head coach Kim Kyung-moon, spread the concept of a systematic running baseball for the first time in professional baseball to the KBO League.
The same goes for the second team, the NC Dinos. After taking the helm of the new team, he made unknown Kim Jong-ho the steal king in 2013. He instilled in the opposing team the perception that even a player who is not very fast can play at any time. Both Doosan and NC started from the floor and became strong teams in the league.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon's philosophy about 'running baseball' as an offensive detour worked on the spot.

However, he encountered an unexpected variable at the beginning of the season. It was a terrible batting slump. Both the main players have run out of cycles. To make matters worse, even the new foreign floreal failed to adapt and fell into an out machine.
It was not a matter of technology. Expectations for the new stadium and autumn baseball, which had been strong even before the season. The burden on young players who have not experienced autumn baseball has increased. The more I played, the less confident I was. There was no point.
the greatest crisis. It was Kim Kyung-moon's running baseball that he prepared to use at times like this.
The match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 10th, when the Winning Series took place, was a watershed. Starter Weiss was pitching well with two hits and no runs until the fifth inning, but Hanwha's lineup was also being beaten by Doosan starter Jack Rogue with two hits and no runs.

He succeeded in scoring the first point by deceiving the league's best catcher Yang Eui-ji with a double steal that caught the opponent off guard during Noh Si-hwan's at-bat. Third baseman Floral swept home faster than second baseman Oh Myung-jin's throw with a headfirst sliding. 1-0.
Additional points were also used as a stepping stone for stealing.
Kim Tae-yeon's two-run timely hit to the right was made with two outs and runners on the second and third bases with back-to-back stolen bases by Moon Hyun-bin and Noh Si-hwan. 3-0. With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, pinch runner Lee Won-seok succeeded in stealing the second base, and Lee Jae-won just made a timely hit with two RBIs. 5-0.
Considering Weiss' good pitching, the game was virtually over. Hanwha achieved its second winning series this season with a 7-2 victory. A valuable victory created by the bold decision of the bench.

Hanwha's Moon Hyun-bin, who is showing off his peak hitting sense, explained in a broadcast interview, `I played as a bench sign, and I prepared a lot for this situation all night long.'
The confidence of the batters who returned home to Daejeon increased.
The magic of running baseball created by the efforts of the bench and the players. There was a widespread perception that 'it's not all about hitting and winning.
Batters' swings, which had been weighed down by the pressure, began to lighten. At the Kiwoom Heroes match held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 11th, the batters exploded and won a 12-2 victory. After the opening of the seventh inning, he slammed the Kiwoom mound with 17 hits, including Floral Moon Hyun-bin's back-to-back home run over the first monster wall by Hanwha players. This is the first double-digit scoring game in 17 games this season.
On this day, Hanwha Eagles owner Kim Seung-yeon visited Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon's new stadium for the first time. The club visited Chairman Kim Seung-yeon to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Eagles' founding, the opening of Hanwha Life Ball Park, and to encourage and cheer for the Eagles' emergency" he said.
Hanwha, which had been suffering from a slump in its batting lineup, celebrated the chairman's visit and the 40th anniversary with a fireworks festival featuring the Dynamics batting lineup, which was the symbol of Eagles baseball.
The first three consecutive wins of the season. On the stepping-stone was a `running baseball' prepared by the coaching staff and the team by sweating the whole time.

This season, when head coach Kim Kyung-moon returned after leading Jeon Hoon for the first time, he is ranking first, beating the LG Twins (17), who play like crazy with 18 team steals. The success rate was 81.8 percent.
Hanwha, which has a solid mound, is key to its offense. It is expected that 'running baseball' prepared when it is not solved will be a solution to break through the blood of the blocked mountains.
