"First of all, the hit...."

Hanwha Eagles will play an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 30th.

On this day, Hanwha formed the starting lineup in the order of Esteban Floral (center fielder), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Ahn Chi-hong (designated hitter), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Hwang Young-mook (second baseman).




Ahn Chi-hong returned on the 28th and has yet to play defense.

An Chi-hong was excluded from the first-team entry on the 6th due to wrist pain and had a gap of about three weeks.

An Chi-hong is having a particularly difficult time this season. At the beginning of the season, he was excluded from the first-team entry without a sense of hitting and began reorganizing in the Futures League. It came back up, but this time I had a wrist problem.




His physical condition was not normal and his grades fell. In 18 games, his batting average of 89 percent (on-base plus slugging percentage) remained at 0.266.

He returned from injury, but has yet to hit a hit in two games. He was selected as the main second baseman this season, but instead of playing defense, he focused only on hitting as a designated hitter.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `I think we need to hit the bat well first. The bat doesn't fit, so it can't be a defense. Second baseman may be difficult right now, so I hope you hit him well as a designated hitter," he stressed.




Meanwhile, as for Shim Woo-joon, who was excluded from the first-team entry after being hit by an opponent's knee against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 10th, "I heard a good story that he could come a little faster." But it's a story to the end. It is difficult to say the exact return because he needs to get better and train normally in the second division and go to the game", he explained.
