"You're a player with a career...."

Hanwha Eagles registered outfielders Son Ah-seop and Lee Jin-young in the first-team entry ahead of the game against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 7th.

Son Ah-seop moved his team from the NC Dinos to Hanwha in a trade on the 31st of last month. Hanwha, which felt sorry for the hit, needed Son Ah-seop, who had a clear contact ability, and sent 300 million won to the third round of the 2026 rookie draft.




Son Ah-seop had 2,583 hits until the 6th, ranking first in the number of hits. In addition, he ranked third (0.320) in batting average among active hitters.

Hanwha explained the background of the recruitment, saying, `We decided 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, will be helpful when he enters autumn baseball.'

Son Ah-seop was listed on the injured list due to a side injury on the 24th of last month. After the transfer, he immediately joined the first team and trained together.




Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said after the live BP on the 6th, "Tomorrow (7th) I'm really going to let the pitcher hit the ball once." If there is no special problem, I will register the LG match first. It's the same with other teams, but we shouldn't be too behind LG."

Hwang Joon-seo and Kang Jae-min, who are about to be discharged from the military, attended the live BP on the 7th, and Son Ah-seop hit this ball at the batter's box. Son said "Now (his physical condition) is normal. "I'm good for now because I have to catch the timing and this part of the hitting sense while playing anyway."

As much as he is in good shape, he was registered a day earlier. He was not listed in the starting lineup, but was registered in the first team. Coach Kim said "I'm going to play as a substitute."




Coach Kim said "He is a player with his own career. Rather than going out right away and expecting to do well, if it's another player, I might have to play one or two games in the second division, but I'm going to replace it with two live batting and give it time to come out as a pinch-hitter today and say hello to the fans."

In addition, he will play a leadoff role from the game against LG on the 8th. Director Kim said "I think so for now. Son's strength is his ability to guess. So I had more than 2,000 hits. He used to be quick. He said, "I'm going to start as the first hitter because I have the quality to hit the ball."
