Thanks to Ryu Hyun-jin, who played the role of a referee following a one-man, two-base man and a first baseman, the atmosphere on the ground was more pleasant than ever.

Pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin, who appeared with gloves, turned into a first baseman and raised the training atmosphere. Hanwha Eagles players, who had a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 3 of the Korean Series the previous day, looked brighter than ever.

Hanwha Eagles players trained for defense ahead of Game 4 of the Korean Series at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th.

Hanwha Eagles fielders, who shook off the burden by winning the previous day, continued to shout fighting and play batting and defensive training regardless of who came first. Third baseman Noh Si-hwan, shortstop Shim Woo-joon, Lee Do-yoon, second baseman Hwang Young-mook, Ha Joo-seok, and first baseman Chae Eun-sung were given funkos with a confident look.

Third baseman Noh Si-hwan, whose defensive concentration soared due to the appearance of first baseman Ryu Hyun-jin.

Fielders Lee Do-yoon and Shim Woo-jun's concentration increased.

Second baseman Hwang Young-mook and Ha Joo-seok, who had to throw a relatively short distance, were relaxed.

Shim Woo-joon, who was in a slump in hitting on the fall baseball stage, turned the game around by hitting a timely hit against LG closer Yoo Young-chan with the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Closer Kim Seo-hyun, who allowed a run with a wild pitch in the top of the eighth inning, roared after double play of LG Moon Sung-joo with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the top of the ninth inning.

Hanwha Eagles relieved the burden by winning Game 3 of the Korean Series. Ahead of Game 4, Hanwha players sweated in a bright atmosphere.

At this time, pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin, who completed his training schedule, watched the fielders' throws carefully from behind the first base. Ryu Hyun-jin, who watched the third baseman, shortstop, and second baseman all receive pungos in order, turned into a first baseman to give first baseman Chae Eun-sung a chance to get a pungo.

First baseman Ryu Hyun-jin, who also caught third baseman Noh Si-hwan's high throw without any problems.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who admired professional first baseman Chae Eun-sung's accurate catch, succeeded in catching using his tall height when third baseman Noh Si-hwan's throw to first base came high. Even though he wore a 12-inch pitcher glove shorter than the first base meet, Ryu Hyun-jin succeeded in catching a short throw with soft handling.

Thanks to Ryu Hyun-jin, who played first base, Chae Eun-sung was trained in funkgo and performed defensive training.

The atmosphere of the Hanwha Eagles squad was hot thanks to Ryu Hyun-jin, who left behind his disappointment in the second game and even helped him train infield for the team with a bright expression.
