Choi Won-ho, the new head coach of the Hanwha Eagles, who has been newly appointed as the head coach, is showing poor results. While coach Choi is making changes to the team organization, this week we will have a fight against the KIA Tigers and the NC Dinos.
Hanwha has 1 win, 2 losses in 3 consecutive matches against Lotte Giants, 3rd place in the league last week, and 1 draw and 1 loss in the match against LG so far. .
As of the 12th, when coach Choi Won-ho took the helm in earnest, he received a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Before the appointment of coach Choi, it is a somewhat disappointing record for fans who expected a long-term rebound in the middle ranks according to Hanwha’s rising trend. The only consolation for Hanwha is that it showed an acceptable result of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss against SSG Landers, who are running in first place.
Coach Choi, sitting in the command tower, is working hard to reorganize the team. In particular, Brian O’Grady, a foreign hitter who failed to fill his first team life for even 10 days, stands out. Coach Choi announced the exclusion of O’Grady from the entry ahead of the LG match on the 20th. Previously, O’Gredi was excluded from the first team due to poor hitting on the 23rd of last month, when former manager Carlos Subero was in charge, and returned on the 11th of this month. However, after returning to the first team, O’Grady played in 5 games and went 2 hits in 17 at-bats, failing to overcome his sluggish performance. Even in all 22 games played in his first team, his batting average is only 0.125 OPS 0.337. O’Gredi’s performance in 8 games in the Futures League was only 0.179, so it seems that it will take a considerable amount of time before he regains his skills.
We are also considering how to use the rookie Moon Hyun-bin. Coach Choi tried to limit Mun Hyun-bin to an infielder earlier, but suddenly selected him as a center fielder in the match against LG on the 19th.
Regarding this, coach Choi said, “Looking at Moon Hyun-bin’s interview article, he seemed to be feeling the burden of defending the outfield.” He also expressed his intention to maintain the innings limit. Director Choi envisioned Moon Dong-ju’s digestion innings to be 120 innings, an increase of about 20% compared to the previous year. Carlos Subero’s target number of innings and The figure is the same. However, the variable is the Asian Games in Hangzhou, which will be held in September. Director Choi explained that he plans to digest up to 130 innings if he is not selected after looking at the final list for the Asian Games. Hanwha will play Kia Tigers and NC this
week Kia is currently on a 4-game winning
streak after escaping from the mire of 5-game losing streak. In particular, Kia is recording an average of 9 points in 4 consecutive wins, so the momentum of the batter is considerable. In the NC game, foreign
pitchers Widener,안전놀이터 who left the first team due to an injury, started against the Goyang Heroes in the Futures League on the 18th and recorded 3 innings, 1 hit and no runs, 149km/h maximum fastball speed, and 145km/h average speed. did.
Meanwhile, Kia is ranked 6th with 18 wins and 17 losses in 35 games, and NC is ranked 4th with 20 wins and 18 losses in 38 games.
