4.5G ahead in first place, but the toast was far away...First place in the first half? It's just a disgrace

"Concentrate on one game...."

Hanwha Eagles finished with 52 wins, 2 draws and 33 losses in the first half. The team is 4.5 games ahead of the LG Twins (48 wins, 2 draws and 38 losses), which is ranked second. Having failed to pass the fall baseball season for six consecutive years, the Hanwha Eagles will be able to dream of advancing to the post season and going straight to the Korean Series.

With the game canceled due to rain on the 17th, Hanwha will play its first game in the second half from the 18th.




Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `I think the players are doing well. It rained unexpectedly, but I think it was the responsibility of a professional player to build his body."

He is in first place with a 4.5-game lead, but coach Kim remained vigilant.

Head coach Kim said "It's a figure in the first half to be No. 1 in the first half. What is really important is that the decision is made at the end of the second half. July and August are important times for any team. "Without thinking for a long time, after today's game, we have to think about tomorrow's game and divide the game into one game and focus. Like that, we will do our best to bring out good results with the players," he stressed.

There is also a history of coming back. Ahn Chi-hong was excluded from the first team entry on the 30th of last month. An Chi-hong had a batting average of 155, 11 RBIs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.423, in 40 games this season. From the beginning of the season, he had difficulty in improving his condition due to abnormalities in his body. The season's performance is not good, but it is a resource that can be helpful enough if you improve your condition.

Rather than making a call-up in a hurry, head coach Kim is waiting for his full physical condition with time. Coach Kim said, "(The power to come back) is An Chi-hong, but I'm going to wait enough for him to hit or go out of the game and then upload it when it's completely over."

Hanwha is spending the season making the most of its available power, including using Ha Joo-seok as second baseman for a month. On this day, Hanwha organized the starting lineup in the order of Lee Won-seok (right wing), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Lee Jin-young (designated hitter), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker).
