"It's what teams keep doing."

An unprecedented 18 dune game for a single team in the history of the KBO League. Except for one of the nine pitchers, all of them allowed four outs and killed themselves, but Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon (68) was adamant.

Manager Kim Kyung-moon met with reporters ahead of the home game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League against the Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th and said, "It's the first time I've seen it while playing baseball," adding, "Our pitchers are struggling, but I think they will get better as they play." You have to have such hope to run a long race," he said.

There was no change in the entry on this day. Left-handed pitcher Lee Kyo-hoon (26), who traded with Son Ah-seop (Doosan) the previous day and received 150 million won, also did not register.

Manager Kim said, "(Changing the entry) is an action that teams keep losing. "The pitchers change, the fielders change, the weak teams change, the losing teams change," he said. "We are losing consecutive games now, but we have only two minus wins. If you win at a certain timing, you can make 50%. First of all, it's important to break the losing streak quickly," he stressed.

On this day, Hanwha formed a lineup of Lee Won-seok (center fielder), Jonathan Ferraza (right wing), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Lee Do-yoon (third baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker). Wilkel Hernandez will be the starting pitcher.

However, it signaled a change in the back door. Regarding Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound in the eighth inning of the previous day with two outs and gave up five runs, including two succession runners, with seven outs, said, "Last year, Kim Seo-hyun had to endure enough and overcome difficulties, but yesterday, he threw as much as the first pitcher. There will be some changes," he said.

The immediate finish is temporary replacement foreign pitcher Jack Cushing. "I was supposed to go to Busan to start, but after watching the game yesterday, I thought, 'Oh, I shouldn't go like this,' so I'm going to put Jack as the last player and solve the game," manager Kim said. "Baseball always moves, so I'm going to try that now and think about it next if it works out better."
