"It's been a meaningful year for me."

Cho Dong-wook (21, Hanwha Eagles) played a "bulk-up" ahead of the 2025 season. It increased about 6kg, and the result was a huge success. The ball went up while maintaining its balance, and the ball became stronger than before.

He has become Hanwha's left-hander bullpen this year with 3 wins, 3 losses, 2 saves, 5 holds, and an ERA of 4.05 in 68 games this year. He had a fruitful second year season as he took the mound in the playoffs and the Korean Series.




Most of all, Cho Dong-wook was satisfied that there was no cancellation of the first-team entry after the call-up. Cho Dong-wook has consistently stayed in the first team since being registered in the first team on March 27. Cho Dong-wook "It's been a meaningful year for me. He also achieved his goal of full-time for the first team and went to the Korean Series. I think it's been a year since last year"It was good to play baseball while playing a lot in games and eating first-team meals. I didn't expect it to go out this much, but thank you for letting me out a lot."

There were also complementary points. Cho Dong-wook said, `Even when I'm not in good condition, I have to improve my performance, but I'm sorry that I couldn't do that.'

He also filled his personal records little by little. Cho Dong-wook, who failed to add an additional record since winning his debut last year, recorded saves and holds this year. Cho Dong-wook said, `I remember when I made my first save of the year (against LG on May 28), and I came out as a substitute starter against Doosan (June 11), and I felt good to win. I also played my first hold against SSG (April 17) and this is also memorable."

Cho's experience in the postseason, which he played in three games, was also an unforgettable moment for Cho Dong-wook. However, it was a pity that he couldn't finish the inning due to some difficulties. Cho Dong-wook said, "(The postseason) had a different atmosphere. I'm not particularly nervous, but I'm sorry that I didn't show a good performance in fall baseball. I prepared a lot to show a good performance, but it didn't work out as I wanted. "One game, one game is a match, and I had to show a more perfect performance. It's natural to go down in the middle. I'm sorry, but I'm not disappointed.'

After the season, I joined the closing camp and built my body. As he threw a lot of balls throughout the season, he did not pitch additionally during the closing camp. However, he laid the foundation for next season by doing weights. Cho Dong-wook said "I thought I started the offseason a little early. I exercised a lot, and I did a lot of weight and running. We've prepared for the next season."

As this season's bulk-up has been effective, we plan to increase it a little more ahead of next season. Cho Dong-wook said "I've done bulk-ups this year, my speed has increased, and I've had good results. I'm thinking of bulking up a little more this time as well. Then, I think the restraint will rise a little more."




Cho Dong-wook said, `I'm looking forward to going to autumn baseball next year. This year, I was lucky to be in the first team because the coach gave me a chance. Rather than saying I did well, I think I survived by giving me a lot of opportunities and giving me a chance even when I didn't. Next year, I will make it a season where I can establish myself in the first team with my skills rather than luck," he said emphatically.
