Ryan Weiss (30, Houston Astros), a former Hanwha Eagles player, remained in love even after returning to the U.S.

Michael Schwab of the podcast "Ice Box Insider" dedicated to the Houston club said on his SNS on the 10th (Korea time), "Wice's wife, Haley Brook Weiss, said on his SNS that he keeps his wedding ring in his back pocket when he takes the mound. (I checked) That's right," he said.

Schwab, along with him, released three enlarged photos of Weiss in the back pocket of his Houston jersey. The pictures clearly showed the shape of the ring, and it was certified that his wife Hayley was right.

This is because no foreign substances were allowed in the pitcher's hands in the Major League. In the KBO league, rings were allowed to be worn, so we could often see Weiss' golden wedding ring. It also became a hot topic in the U.S. On Schwab's SNS, baseball fans sent messages of support, such as "We have to make sure that TWICE wears that," and "I really hope that TWICE does well."

Currently, Weiss is sluggish with one loss, 7.27 ERA, four walks and 11 strikeouts in eight ⅔ innings without winning four major league games. Tagging Schwab's SNS post on his SNS, his wife Hayley said, "On KBO, you can wear a wedding ring, so Ryan used to forget to take it out every time. It's just a small silicone ring," he said.

Weiss is a foreign pitcher who has been loved by Hanwha over the past two years. He was an independent league player who had not even reached the major league threshold until he came to Hanwha. He joined Hanwha with six weeks and $100,000 as a temporary substitute for Ricardo Sanchez in mid-2024, after playing for the Fubang Guardians of the Taiwan Professional Baseball (CPBL) in 2023.

Korea was the land of opportunity that allowed Weiss to live a second life. Despite being deployed during the season, he won 5-5 with a 3.73 ERA in 16 games in the first year, and succeeded in renewing his contract for a total of $950,000.

Last year, in his second year, he led Hanwha to the Korean Series for the first time in 19 years as a second starter with 16 wins, 5 losses, a 2.87 ERA and 207 strikeouts in 178 ⅔ innings in 30 regular-season games. In particular, Weiss started Game 4 of the Korean Series and gave fans the best dopamine with seven strikeouts, seven strikeouts, and one run in seven ⅔ innings (117 pitches), four hits and three outs (two walks).

Thanks to its performance, Weiss signed a one-plus-one-year $2.6 million guarantee, including club options in 2027, up to $10 million, and succeeded in entering the Major League after the end of the 2025 season.

It is the Weiss couple's affection for Korea and Hanwha that drew attention as much as their outstanding performance. Despite going through Triple-A, Independent League, and CPBL in the U.S. Minor League, there was no place that paid more attention to Weiss than Daejeon Hanwha fans.

In Hanwha, Weiss is called 'Daejeon Jesus' and the couple were loved together. Despite being the CEO of the company, his wife Hayley quickly melted into Korea, running a running crew with people from Daejeon. Even after going to the U.S., he still has affection, so he is still communicating with Korean fans, including naming his son, who will be born next month (May), the Korean name "Wooju."
