The weak team' image was completely erased and the halfway point was ranked first, but the tension remained.

Hanwha played a total of 72 games before the Busan Lotte Giants match on the 19th. With all games canceled due to rain on the 20th and 21st, Hanwha is still firmly in the top spot with 42 wins, 1 draw and 29 losses.

Hanwha's last championship was in 1999, and its last advance to the Korean Series was in 2006. He also failed to make the fall baseball stage for the sixth consecutive year.




It was Hanwha, which had been called weak team, but this season, it became a team that all teams were afraid to meet.

Based on a solid starting lineup, it has become a team that does not collapse easily. There is a certain foreign one-two punch consisting of Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss, followed by Ryu Hyun-jin.

Although Ryu Hyun-jin was recently injured, he remained in first place without falling due to the performance of Hwang Joon-seo and Cho Dong-wook.




At the beginning of the season, the winning margin widened to -6, but it quickly rose to the top of the ranking table with eight consecutive wins and 12 consecutive wins.

As the regular season ranks first, the dream of autumn baseball is gradually growing. Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon also said, `We have to praise the players a lot. If you lose due to high expectations for Hanwha, there will be a lot of talk, but the players are doing really well" he complimented.

However, he was wary of getting drunk on victory early. Director Kim said "We had a meeting and 'We have to make a result at the end and laugh about it later.' Nothing has been decided yet. There is not much difference from the second place. The important thing from now on is to finish well until the All-Star break is over," he stressed. The second-place LG Twins lost to the Doosan Bears on the 21st, but the two teams have only one game.




Although there is a busy way to go, Hanwha has many factors to strengthen at the end of the first half.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was resting due to discomfort in his left adductor muscle in the match against KT Wiz in Daejeon on the 5th, is scheduled to return within June. Coach Kim said, "(Ryu Hyun-jin) is scheduled to throw within this month, saying, "Even after Ryu Hyun-jin's absence, he did not fall out due to consecutive losses, and the players held out the elements well."

In addition, Luis Liberato, an alternative foreign player for Esteban Floral, who was out of power due to a dune in the back of his hand, joined on the 20th.

Liberato played in 29 games in the Mexican League this season, batting average of 373 (47 hits in 126 times at bat), eight homers, 29 RBIs, and three steals (OPS) of 1.138. If that continues in the KBO League, the Hanwha lineup will be more powerful.

Director Kim said, `Now the important thing is the back-and-forth weather. It's good to rest, but the players need to control their condition well"It's important to finish the All-Star break well for now."
