"I really wanted to prove it to faith."

Ryan Weiss (29, Hanwha Eagles) generally stepped on the KBO league stage for six weeks in June last year when Ricardo Sanchez left due to an elbow injury.

He showed good performance with a 3.45 ERA in 31 ⅓ innings in five games, and eventually pushed Sanchez to become an official player. Weiss finished the season 5-5 with a 3.73 ERA in 16 games.




Weiss will also be with Hanwha in 2025. I made a contract for a total of $950,000.

Weiss has been reborn as a `special alien' this season. He went 15-4 with a 2.90 ERA during 27 games. He pitched 19 quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs).

Weiss's presence does not seem so spectacular, as Cody Ponce of the same team has been playing all-time with 16 wins, no losses, and an ERA of 1.76 in 26 games, but it is comparable to any first starter.




Weiss certainly looked a step up from last year. The average speed increased from late 140km to early 150km. Sweeper's completeness has increased even more.

At the same time, Weiss also gained strong motivation for fans' support this season. Weiss, who won his 15th game of the season against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 9th, said "What a blessing. In the beginning, some fans said they thought they would win more than 15 games, but I thought I could win 15 games. I really wanted to prove it to that belief." In other words, he perfectly lived up to his faith in himself.

There were also moments that touched Weiss' pride.




Weiss once collapsed against Lotte on September 15 last year, allowing 10 runs in three ⅔ innings. The next game was against Lotte on the 22nd. He allowed three runs (two earned) in four ⅔ innings, but did not fill Weiss' last name.

Weiss once lost a lot of points against Lotte last year. It's a memory I don't want to think about. Since then, I thought I would do more against Lotte this year. That led to a good result." Weiss played in five games against Lotte this season and had a 1.32 ERA in all five games.

Ponce is in first place with multiple wins, but Weiss, who is one win away, can also aim for the multiple wins. On this part, Weiss "I'm not thinking about personal records. The team is in second place, and I just think the team should only win. There is no desire to win."
