The Hanwha Eagles went back and forth between cold and warm baths last week. Coach Carlos Subero was sacked due to poor performance, but he is raising the fire of a rebound by posting a winning streak.
Hanwha recorded 3 wins and 2 losses last week, and is in 9th place with a game gap with last-place KT. It has a 2.5 game gap with Kiwoom in 8th place, and a 3 game gap with KIA in 7th place and Samsung in 6th place.
Hanwha, who succeeded in getting out of last place, started their chase for the middle ranks by posting a winning streak last week.
On the 11th, Hanwha finished the three-game series against Samsung with victories for two days in a row, decorating the winning series, and on the 12th, they defeated SSG, the league leader, and achieved three consecutive victories.
However, with the sudden change of command tower during the season, it is unknown how it will affect future games.
On the 11th, Hanwha changed the manager ahead of the three-game series against SSG Landers.
Coach Carlos Subero, who led the team from the 2021 season, was fired after 31 games in the opening season, and coach Won-ho Choi was promoted to the new command tower. Since it is during the season and the atmosphere was a surprise replacement without considering the overall situation, such as the sluggishness of foreign players, some are concerned about a decline in performance due to the agitation of the team.
Coach Won-ho Choi made his successful debut by leading the match against SSG to victory on the 12th. We lost 5-8 to SSG on the 13th and missed the opportunity to win 4 in a row, but the early start was not bad.
It is hopeful that the clogged bloodline has been pierced and the team is invigorated.
In particular, from the center batting line to veterans, the bat is revived and the performance is dazzling.
Noh Si-hwan has played in 33 games and has a batting average of 0.359 (47 hits in 131 at-bats) and a slugging percentage of 0.626, leading the league in all categories.
Chae Eun-seong recorded a batting average of 0.303 (37 hits in 135 bats) and a slugging percentage of 0.492 in 31 games.
However, Moon Dong-ju recently left a regret by conceding the most points in a game since his debut due to his first pitch. On the 13th, he went out as a starting pitcher in an away game against SSG Landers and was sluggish with 7 hits, 3 walks, 2 walks and 7 runs in 2⅓ innings.
On the mound, Pena had an ERA of 4.25 and Min-woo Kim had an ERA of 5.45, barely entering the top 20.
The poor performance of other lines remains a task for the time being.
The Hanwha team’s batting average is still in last place at 0.230, and the scoring position batting average (0.199) and on-base percentage (0.312) are also the lowest.메이저놀이터
Although his performance on the mound is not as serious as that of other lines, his ERA is 4.02, and he is in the 7th place, which is in the lower middle.
The failure to establish a stable starting rotation at the beginning of the season is also a homework.
After calling Lotte, who is second in the league, to face off this week, Hanwha will head to Seoul on the weekend to play three consecutive matches against LG. The record with Lotte is 0 wins and 2 losses, and with LG, it is inferior to 1 wins and 2 losses.
However, in addition to the veteran’s performance, it is worth looking at Hanwha’s opportunity to rebound in the mid-table as they are trying new changes with a manager change.
