Hanwha is recording two losses in its first three home games against NC since last week’s All-Star break. Unlike the first half of the season, which showed signs of leaping into the middle ranks, in the second half, it is an atmosphere that cannot be used from the start. Hanwha, currently in 9th place, has a 40% win rate (0.447). It is 3.5 games behind Lotte, which is in 5th place, based on playoff standards.
With the start of the second half, Hanwha started to reorganize their lines. On the 21st, Hanwha carried out a reorganization of the coaching staff, including the establishment of a ‘bench coach’ in charge of the fielding part. The key is to improve the detail of the bench by assisting head coach Lee Dae-jin and bench coach Kim Jung-min, respectively, by utilizing their expertise in the pitcher and fielder parts to assist coach Choi Won-ho. In addition, the newly recruited coach Kang Dong-woo decided to take charge of fielding parts such as strategy, running, and outfield defense in the remaining army.
In the game on the 21st, which was held amid changes in the coaching staff, it was completely defeated by NC with a score of 3-9. After scoring the first run with a home run in the first inning, pitcher Pedy tied the Hanwha batting line in the first and second innings with a tripartite offense, raising the score one after another, widening the score to 5-0 in the fifth inning. Afterwards, in the 7th inning, he added 3 runs with 4 walks and 2 hits, consolidating the victory. At the end of the 7th inning, Jeong Eun-won chased after 3 runs with 2 RBIs and 2 bases, but it was not enough. Hanwha, who gave up one more point with a walk and a hit in the ninth inning, ended the first game of the second half with a loss.
On the 22nd, they lost 7-5, continuing their two-game losing streak. On this day, a close match was held with a come-from-behind reversal. In the second inning, NC led by one point with Martin’s dominant home run. In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Lee Jin-young’s double and Kim In-hwan’s timely hit tied together for 2 runs, and Jeong Eun-won’s home run in the 4th inning made it 3-1. In the 6th inning, NC scored 1 point with 2 RBIs and a timely hit to tie the score 3-3, then turned it over to 4-3 with a double in the 7th inning. Hanwha caught up with Noh Si-hwan at the end of the 7th, 4-4 again. In the bottom of the 8th inning, it seemed that the team was on the verge of a 5-4 victory with a strike-knockout force fastball. However, in the early ninth inning, Son Ah-seop and Park Gun-woo created a chance, and Martin’s home run added 3 runs to NC. With the defeat, Hanwha recorded 34 wins, 42 losses and 4 draws, dropping one notch from 8th to 9th in the league rankings.
With one win desperately needed to turn the mood around in the second half, Hanwha is set to play against Kiwoom Heroes and SSG Landers this week.
After facing Kiwoom and Gocheok on the 25th, on the 28th, SSG and Munhak will play three consecutive expeditions. The record against Kiwoom is 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, and against SSG, 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.
