"It's such a waste."

The Hanwha Eagles called up pitcher Lee Sang-kyu ahead of the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th. 123 days after it was expunged on May 14.

Lee Sang-kyu, who debuted with the LG Twins in 2015, made his first-team debut in 2019 and made four saves as a closer in 2020. Moving to Hanwha in the second draft ahead of the 2024 season, he also shed tears when he became a winning pitcher on Aug. 24.Having played baseball more desperately than anyone else, he recorded 1-4 losses with a 5.36 ERA in 21 games last year and trained in the U.S. at his own expense after the end of the season for greater growth.




He gained expectations as a starting pitcher as he moved up well in the spring camp, but he allowed six hits, two walks, three strikeouts and four runs (three earned) in two ⅓ innings in the exhibition game, and eventually failed to join the opening entry. He was called up to the first team on April 8, but he was shaken by three hits, one walk and one run in ⅔ innings, and four innings later, he failed to impress with four hits, one walk and two runs (one earned run) in two innings. Coming up again in May, he allowed five hits, one walk, two strikeouts and four runs in two ⅓ innings against Doosan, and was eventually excluded from the entry the next day.

In the Futures League, he consistently showed good performance. He recorded a 3.25 ERA with 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 save and 2 holds in 26 games while going back and forth between starting and saving.

As the season approaches its end, I will be given another opportunity.

Manager Kim said, "I liked his ERA and stuff like that at Futures. I've been watching every day since the Futures record came"I went to learn by investing in expensive money. I felt sorry that the year ended like this."

It's not just an opportunity. It's time for a postseason companion. Coach Kim said, `If Lee Sang-kyu gains confidence, we can go to the postseason together. I hope you can take this opportunity to do well with your efforts"There must be something new ahead of the postseason. I hope Lee Sang Kyu does well until the post season," he stressed.
