Popular Hanwha Eagles will get even scarier. 7.2 billion FA batters are also ready.
Hanwha Eagles, led by head coach Kim Kyung-moon, won 7-1 in Game 3 of the season against the NC Dinos of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 20th.
Hanwha, which has secured seven consecutive wins and seven consecutive starts in 24 years since 2001, has posted 10 wins and two losses in recent 12 games. By successfully sweeping the Winning Series for four consecutive years and two consecutive sweeps, the team has completely dispelled its disappointment of losing last place in the early days of this season.
Another good news came to Hanwha. An Chi-hong, the "7.2 billion FA hitter" who is elevating his condition in the Futures team, exploded. An Chi-hong was sluggish in this season with 10 games for the first team, with two hits, two RBIs and a batting average of 0.067. He only played as a pinch hitter against the KIA Tigers in Daejeon on March 29, hit a two-run finishing hit, and had one hit against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on April 4.
Coach An Chi-hong and Kim Kyung-moon, who suffered from abdominal pain when they were in the first team, sent them down to the second team on April 7 as conditional adjustment. Recently, Ahn Chi-hong and Kim Kyung-moon said, "They are broadcasting the Futures game on TV these days, but they are not showing it yet. I think we need to adjust the call-up timing after watching them play."
At a match against KT's second tier team held at Iksan Stadium on April 18, he recorded one hit and one run from three times at bat, and one hit from three times at bat (double) on April 19. Gradually, he got the hang of it.
Ahn Chi-hong, the third and designated hitter, retired after hitting a fly ball at his first at bat in the first inning and the second at bat in the third inning, but had a double run homer off Han Cha-hyun in the sixth inning after hitting a fly ball in the middle of the fifth inning. He also had a hit in the eighth inning. He played the entire game without replacement on the day. He had three hits, three RBIs and two runs from five times at bat.
The momentum of Hanwha hitters is frightening these days. In the 12 games that they have played since April 8, Esteban Floriol and Chae Eun-seong have hit over 40 percent. With five homers, Noh has become the lone homerun leader. Choi In-ho, Kim Tae-yeon, and Moon Hyun-bin have also hit hard over 30 percent, adding strength to their team. 온라인카지노
The mound is as solid as it was at the beginning of the season. As mentioned above, Kim Seo-hyun, "Mr. Zero," is holding out while Park Sang-won, Han Sang-hyuk, Jung Woo-joo and Cho Dong-wook are holding out.
An Chi-hong is the center hitter of Hanwha. An Chi-hong, who has been playing for Hanwha since last season on the condition of receiving a total of 7.2 billion won for six years, recorded 142 hits, 13 home runs, 66 RBIs, 64 runs and a batting average of 0.300 in 128 games in the 2024 season. He hit a batting average of 300 for the first time in three years since the 2021 season, and recorded double-digit home runs in two years.
If An Chi-hong returns, wouldn't Hanwha's firepower get stronger? Since he also shows a stable second base defense, expectations are high that both offense and defense will be helpful if he returns.
