Will Hanwha rise back to No. 1 in a month.

The KBO League in the 2025 season. At the beginning of the opening, the LG Twins were very strong. the opening seven consecutive wins. And even when he recorded an 18-4 win rate of 81.8 in 22 games, some even said that LG's victory, which has strong power and experience in winning the 2023 season, was virtually confirmed. At that time, the Hanwha Eagles followed with a six-game winning streak, but there were as many as six games.

Since then, LG has returned to the normal team. He won and lost repeatedly, and lost five consecutive games. On the contrary, Hanwha's rise was scarier than that of LG after the opening. Even when he won eight consecutive games and won two consecutive games, Hanwha said it would be difficult to cope with the aftermath of the winning streak. But he started to win again.




LG, which slowed down, and Hanwha, which began its second long-term winning streak, had a major accident. It was Children's Day. Hanwha won seven consecutive games, and LG lost. That's how they tied for first place. And on May 7, Hanwha won nine consecutive games, LG lost again, and Hanwha rose to first place alone.

Hanwha's joy was not long either. He ranked first alone for a short period of time until May 11, when he won 12 consecutive games. Since then, LG has won six consecutive games again, while Hanwha has lost consecutive games, changing its No. 1 position. And LG remained at the top with stable moves throughout May, while Hanwha moved back and forth between second and third, being chased by the Lotte Giants.

In such a bright June, LG lost three consecutive games, and the gap between the two teams, which had been up to 3.5 games, was reduced to 0.5 games again. And on the 7th, the joys and sorrows of both teams were mixed again. LG lost to the lowest-ranked Kiwoom Heroes, who wrote a major reversal drama, for two days in a row. On the contrary, Hanwha won a valuable victory with Lee Jin-young's dramatic final hit after an extended game against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju. Again, he succeeded in chasing by half a game. Hanwha had a chance to turn around 0.5 games ahead of the game on the 7th, but failed to overcome the aftermath of Ryu Hyun-jin's shock injury at the time, but immediately took the opportunity again.

The game between Hanwha and KIA at Gwangju KIA Champions Field on the 7th, and Chae Eun-sung, the first baseman of Hanwha, with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, is happy after catching KIA Oh Sun-woo's straight hit and treating it as a double play.

The last day of the three consecutive games on the 8th weekend. If Hanwha wins and LG loses, it will be a reversal of the ranking again. First of all, Hanwha's atmosphere is bright. There will inevitably be an impact on the extended match the previous day. It was a pleasant victory even if it was difficult to win, with a situation that almost lost in the 10th inning, and a double play straight hit that seemed to be dominated by the sky with one out and the bases loaded. On top of that, Hanwha is playing the ace Ponce. 9 wins and no losses. There is no defeat yet.

LG's unusual opponent Kiwoom is just burdensome. Kiwoom's morale hits the sky with its first four consecutive wins of the season. In addition, special rookie Jung Hyun-woo will return after shaking off his shoulder injury. LG is meeting Chung Hyeon-woo for the first time. LG, which has many left-handed hitters, has been weak against opposing left-handed pitchers for years. This year, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's active mercenary skills made it fun to actively use right-handed hitters against left-handed pitchers. It remains to be seen whether right-handed hitters in the entry, such as Song Chan-eui and Choi Won-young, will start the day and how they will be able to show when they play.
