In the '2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' game between Hanwha Eagles and Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 11th, Hanwha players are sharing their joy after escaping their 5-game losing streak with a 3-0 win. Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin, who appeared as a starter on this day, threw 94 pitches through 6 innings, allowing 1 hit, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts, and no runs, becoming a winning pitcher 4,216 days after the Doosan game on September 25, 2012. 

The professional baseball Hanwha Eagles, who lost momentum after a 7-game winning streak at the beginning of the season, are attempting a winning streak for the first time in 17 days. Coincidentally, the starting pitcher is ‘Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (37), who is attempting his 100th win in the KBO.

Attention is focused on whether Ryu Hyun-jin, who broke the team's losing streak last week and reported his first win since returning to the KBO, can play his role as an ace to continue the team's winning streak this time.

Hanwha will play the second game of the away game against NC in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Changwon NC Park on the 17th.

Hanwha, which escaped its three-game losing streak with a dramatic comeback win of 7-4 thanks to Ahn Chi-hong's game-winning hit in the 9th inning the previous day, will have its second consecutive win in 17 days if it wins today's game.

After losing the opening game against the LG Twins on the 23rd of last month, Hanwha won 7 games until the 31st and became the leading player in the early season.

At that time, all starting pitchers except Ryu Hyun-jin achieved victory, and in the batting lineup, led by 'mercenary mercenary' Jonathan Peraza, Noh Si-hwan, Ha Joo-seok, Chae Eun-seong, and Ahn Chi-hong led the team's upward trend.

However, Hanwha's momentum did not last long. Hanwha, which had been on a five-game losing streak starting with a sweep against Kiwoom Heroes on the 5th, won against Doosan on the 11th, but collapsed again by losing all three consecutive games against KIA Tigers starting on the 12th. Hanwha had only 2 wins and 8 losses in 10 games before the game against NC on the 16th, disappointing Hanwha fans who had high expectations for this season. Hanwha fans are showing so much affection to the team that they sold out all eight home games this season. As the team has been in a slump for a long time, rebounding through consecutive wins is important. Coincidentally, the starting pitcher that day was Ryu Hyun-jin, who ended the team's losing streak on the 11th. Ryu Hyun-jin, who showed shakiness in the first three games of the season, announced the 'resurrection of the monster' by pitching 6 scoreless innings and perfect pitching against Doosan on the 11th. Ryu Hyun-jin, who is facing NC for the first time in his professional career, must shoulder the responsibility of continuing the team's winning streak as an ace, but he is also personally motivated by his 100th win in the KBO. If Ryu Hyun-jin achieves his 100th win in the KBO in this game, he will become the 33rd player in history to achieve this record. Among active pitchers, only Yang Hyeon-jong (KIA, 169 wins) and Kim Gwang-hyeon (SSG Landers, 161 wins) have surpassed the 100-win mark. After the last win against Doosan, Ryu Hyun-jin said, “I am preparing with the same mindset for every game,” and expressed confidence, “If I play my role as a starter like I did today, 100 wins will follow,” so he continued the team’s winning streak and reached 100 in his personal total. Attention is focused on whether to do it or not.  스포츠토토
