Ha Joo-seok, who hit a home run in the top of the ninth inning, will start as shortstop.

Hanwha formed the starting lineup of Lee Jin-young (right wing), Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Lee Do-yoon (second baseman) in an away game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 26th.

Lee Jin-young, who was replaced by a pinch hitter in the top of the third inning due to a regrettable throwing error the previous day, played as the first batter without any problems.




Ha Joo-seok started as a starting shortstop instead of Shim Woo-joon. Ha Joo-seok came out as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 1-7 the previous day, and hit a 138km cutter driven into the middle of Samsung closer Lee Ho-sung to send a solo shot over the right fence to comfort the team.

For Hanwha, which had a disappointing hit the previous day, it seems that Ha Joo-seok, not Shim Woo-joon, was selected to strengthen its offense.

Hanwha's main shortstop is Shim Woo-joon, but his batting is not good yet. He has a batting average of 170 (17 at-bats) and 19 RBIs in 35 games this season.




Ha Joo-seok came in when Shim Woo-joon was injured and played a batting average of 278 (30 hits in 108 at-bats) and one home run and 11 RBIs in 38 games.

On the same day, Hanwha will meet Samsung's new foreign pitcher, Kherson Garabito, whom it has never met. Garabito is likely to meet more bullpen pitchers as he will not be able to play many innings because he will only pitch live and make his debut.

The starting pitcher of Hanwha is Moon Dong-ju. He has recorded five wins and two losses with an ERA of 4.09 in 11 games this season. After slumping in seven hits and six runs in four ⅔ innings against Lotte on May 25, he moved to the second tier and returned to the mound after adjustment. He still displayed poor pitching by allowing six hits and four runs in three ⅔ innings against LG on May 15, his return match. In the match against Samsung, he became a winning pitcher with six hits and two runs in six innings in Daejeon on May 7. Since Weiss was sluggish the day before, attention is being paid to what kind of pitching Moon Dong-joo will be in Daegu.
