Hanwha Eagles' 'Original Finishing' is in the first division.

Hanwha placed right-hander Joo Hyun-sang on the first-team entry ahead of the home game against the Doosan Bears at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th. It is the first team call-up in 49 days.

Joo Hyun-sang played as a closing pitcher last year. He pitched in 65 games and posted an 8-4 record with 23 saves and two holds with a 2.65 ERA. His 23 saves are the most in a single season for a right-handed pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles.




Joo Hyun-sang, who has smoothly improved his physical condition in this season's spring camp, raised expectations by allowing three scoreless innings in three exhibition games. This season was also expected to remain firmly in the closing pitcher's position, but he was shaken by three runs in one ⅓ inning in three games after the opening. Eventually, he was excluded from the first team entry on March 27.

Joo Hyun-sang, who entered the Futures League reorganization, pitched 11 ⅔ innings in 12 games with a 5.40 ERA.

With the main phenomenon missing from the entry, Kim Seo-hyun filled the finishing pitcher position for Hanwha. Kim Seo-hyun had a 0.83 ERA with one loss, 12 saves and one hold in 23 games this season. It is expected that Kim Seo-hyun will not change his position as a closer as he stably cracked down on the back door. However, if the main phenomenon grows to a must-win group, Hanwha's bullpen is expected to become a little stronger.




Meanwhile, Lee Sang-kyu, who was called up the previous day (14th), was canceled from the entry in a day as the main phenomenon rose. Lee Sang-kyu came to the mound as the third pitcher with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, but he was shaken by four runs in two ⅓ innings. The number of pitches was also 40, so he needed a break in the game on the 15th.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Lee Sang-kyu threw a lot yesterday. I tried to make a change in the entry because there were continuous games on Friday and Saturday, not on my day off. Hyun Sang, Inc. continued to report and hear from Futures. I'm going to let it go when it comes to the situation."
