Hanwha made the trade because it believed that Son Ah-seop, who holds the record for the most hits in professional baseball and has a postseason OPS of 1.008 in the last 10 years, would be helpful when entering fall baseball"We expect Son to serve as an example for young juniors in the team as he continues to perform throughout his career through sincere and thorough self-management.", he explained. The leading Hanwha Eagles will fill the final piece for the championship.
