Standing on the fall baseball stage for the first time in 7 years
Professional baseball Hanwha Eagles starting tomorrow
The playoffs will be held against the Samsung Lions.
Hanwha is superior in pitching power and Samsung is superior in batting power.
It attracts attention as a battle between ‘spear and shield’,
The results of the 1st and 2nd games held in Daejeon
It is expected to determine the direction of advancement into the Korean Series.
This is reporter Seungseop Lee.
◀ Report ▶
In 2018, Hanwha Eagles ranked 3rd in the regular season.
Although it advanced to the semi-playoffs,
We were eliminated after 4 games.
Ranked 2nd in this year’s regular season
Hanwha players who advanced to the postseason
I am confident that it will be different from the fall of 7 years ago.
Ha Joo-seok / Hanwha Eagles infielder
“There are a lot of young players.
Those parts harmonize well with the old and new.
Didn’t we become a stronger team?”
Hanwha will face Samsung in the playoffs.
It was a tight match with 8 wins and 8 losses in the regular season.
How well Hanwha’s powerful pitching staff can block Samsung’s batting line, which survived through the semi-playoffs,
It’s key.
Jaehoon Choi / Hanwha Eagles catcher
“The starting pitchers are also very good, so wouldn’t we do better if the fielders helped us?”
Samsung is a one-two punch for starters.
Won Tae-in and Ariel Jurado will be held in Daegu.
We are planning to participate in the 3rd and 4th games.
Hanwha has Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss on the mound.
In the selection battle, you must win both the first and second games.
We gain an advantageous position in advancing to the Korean Series.
Ryan Weiss / Hanwha Eagles pitcher
“I know it’s the playoffs, but it’s just one game (like the regular season). I’m staying in good shape and preparing for my first start.”
Experts generally expected Hanwha to dominate, but
It is expected to be a close game that will go all the way to the 4th or 5th game.
I’m looking ahead.
Yeo Yeong-kwon / Daejeon MBC professional baseball commentator
“If (Hanhwa) is going to have a winning streak at home,
“I think we can go to Daegu Lions Park and end the game within 4 games with 1 win and 1 loss, and if Samsung wins 1 win and 1 loss, wouldn’t we have to go to the 5th game?”
The Hanwha team held four practice games.
It has heightened my practical sense.
Fall baseball will be held in the first year of opening.
Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Ball Park was also renovated,
We are ready to welcome the audience.
Hanwha selected Cody Ponce as the starting pitcher in the first game.
Samsung announced Kherson Garavito respectively.
“All preparations are complete. After 26 years,
The Eagles are challenging to win the Korean Series.
How far will we soar this fall?
Fans’ attention is focused.
This is Lee Seung-seop of MBC News.”
