Hanwha Eagles recruited coach Kang In-kwon (54) to strengthen their power ahead of the new season.

Hanwha said on the 18th, "We recruited former NC Dinos coach Kang In-kwon as a QC (Quality Control) coach."

Hanwha, which recruited Kang Baek-ho as a free agent (FA) for four years and 10 billion won ahead of this season, fully prepared for the opening of the season by recruiting coach Kang In-kwon ahead of the opening of the season.

Coach Kang In-kwon started his professional career in the second round of the sixth round in 1995 after being nominated by Hanwha, and continued his career for 12 years until 2006. He spent seven seasons with Hanwha, then moved to Doosan, played for five seasons, and then retired.

Coach Kang In-kwon, who later turned into a leader, moved to NC after serving as Doosan's battery coach and continued his coaching career, and was appointed as an official coach after acting as NC's coach in May 2022. Leading the team to the postseason in 2023, he paid off.

Since then, coach Ryu Ji-hyun has been appointed as the head coach of the national team, participating in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) as a head coach and battery coach and contributing to the advance to the quarterfinals.

Hanwha agreed to strengthen its coaching staff during discussions on strengthening power between the field and the front office after last season and completed recruiting coach Kang In-kwon at the request of the field.

Coach Kang In-kwon will join the team on the 19th.
