The Hanwha Eagles killed themselves by throwing wild pitches in the closing camp practice game. Doosan Bears first-round rookie Kim Joo-oh, who hasn't even graduated from high school yet, exploded multi-hit.

Doosan won 11-5 in a practice game against Hanwha at Miyazaki Soken Stadium in Japan on the 15th. Hanwha dedicated three balls that hit the body with 10 walks. Doosan was dragged 1-4 until the seventh inning, but scored five points in the eighth inning and five points in the ninth inning.

Doosan outfielder Kim Joo-oh stood out. Kim Joo-oh hit a double in the eighth and ninth innings in a row.




Kim Joo-oh thanked batting coach Cho Joong-geun. Kim Joo-oh said "Coach Cho Joong-geun advised me to swing actively if I saw the ball. As he said, swinging confidently led to good results."

It was a practice game, but he also got his first hit. Kim Joo-oh said, `I'm satisfied with both hits flying to the right. It was a different experience because the seniors also took care of the first hit ball. I will continue to be confident and show you good performances."

Doosan named Kim Joo-oh as the seventh overall in the first round of the 2026 rookie draft. Kim Joo-oh is a right-handed center fielder who will succeed Jung Soo-bin. He recorded the fastest batting speed on the high school stage. Expectations are high with a typical big gun style. The growth potential is endless because of its good ability to cope with pioneering eyes and breaking balls.




The MVP of the game was Kim In-tae. He hit a grand slam.

Kim In-tae said "It's an unofficial game, but I really wanted to win because it was the coach's first game. I think we must win the game that we will win even if it's an unofficial game. Thanks to the juniors who created the chance in front of me, I was able to hit the final shot. I will share the prize money with (Kim) Jooh, who was active today, and I will buy delicious snacks with my juniors"I laughed.

In addition to them, he recorded 2 hits in 5 at-bats for Lee Yoo-chan, 1 hit in 3 at-bats for Oh Myung-jin, 2 hits in 3 at-bats for Ahn Jae-seok, 1 hit in 3 at-bats for Kim Min-seok, and 1 hit in 1 at-bats for Im Jong-sung.




Among pitchers, Lee Ju-yeop showed clear growth. Lee Ju-yeop came out as the second pitcher and pitched three scoreless innings. He recorded up to 145 kilometers and used fastball, curve slider and forkball in various ways.

Lee Ju-yeop said, `I am satisfied with both the result of today's game and the pitching. As manager Kim Won-hyung said, he threw all the balls with the intention of putting them on strikes. Yoo In-gu also made a lot of mistakes when he tried to put it in the strike zone. I think it was particularly effective to take the count fight to the advantage from the first pitch," he said.
