Hanwha Eagles started organizing the team before the playoffs.

Hanwha notified seven players on the 9th that they could not renew their contracts" he informed.

Targets include pitcher Park Sung-woong, Lee Sung-min and Min Seung-ki, catcher Ahn Jin, infielder Shin Woo-jae and Kim Ye-joon, and outfielder Song Ho-jung.




Hanwha's painful finger Park Sung-woong's release is noticeable. Park Joo-hong, Park Sung-woong's former name, seems more familiar to baseball fans. He is a player who highly valued growth to the extent that he was classified as a candidate for the first nomination during his time at Gwangju Jeil High School.

Park Sung-woong wore a Hanwha uniform as the 14th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 Rookie Draft. He pitched 18 ⅔ innings in 22 games in his first year in 2018, and Park Sung-woong even experienced fall baseball as Hanwha advanced to the postseason for the first time in 11 years by going straight to the semi-playoff as third place in the regular season that year. He was in charge of the starting pitcher in Game 4 of the semi-playoff, but lost the game by allowing three runs (two earned runs) in three ⅔ innings.

Park Sung-woong only played 64 games in the first division, lost 2-11, had 84 ⅔ innings and an 8.40 ERA. I haven't been on the mound for the first team since 2021. This year, he pitched in three Futures League games until May.

Outfielder Song Ho-jung graduated from Seoul High School and joined Hanwha as the 12th overall pick in the second round of the rookie draft in 2921. Although he was expected to be a top designated player, he no longer had a chance in the first team after going 0-for-10 with eight strikeouts and one score in 10 games in 2021, his rookie season. This year, it was difficult to expect a call-up in the Futures League with a batting average of 0.197 (12 hits in 61 at-bats), one home run and eight RBIs in 30 games.

Lee Sung-min is a right-hander who joined Hanwha as a nurturing player in 2022, and Min Seung-ki is a right-hander who joined Hanwha in the seventh round in 2022. Anjin is the 82nd overall pick catcher in the 2nd round of the 9th round in 2021. All three players will take off their uniforms without a chance for the first team.

Infielder Shin Woo-jae joined Hanwha in the 11th round of 2023 with 101st place, and Kim Ye-joon achieved his dream of becoming a professional player, but he also left without a chance to play for the first team.
