Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon decided to remove Ha Ju-seok (32) from the 1st division roster following his disappointing base running play the previous day (8th).

On the 9th, ahead of their home game against the LG Twins at DaejeonHanwhaLifeEaglePark for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season, Hanwha announced its starting lineup.

On this day, Hanwha constructed its batting order with Lee Jin-young (center fielder), Yonatan Peraza (right fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Heo In-seo (catcher), Kim Tae-yeon (first baseman), Lee Do-yoon (shortstop), and Hwang Young-mok (second baseman). The starting pitcher was Wang Yencheng.

Alongside this, Hanwha announced Ha Ju-seok's removal from the 1st division roster and the call-up of infielder Park Jeong-hyun (24). Ha Ju-seok's exclusion from the 1st division roster is the most noticeable change.

Ha Ju-seok displayed disappointing base running in the bottom of the 9th inning with one out and runners on second and third base, when both teams were tied 8-8 the previous day. As the runner on third base, Ha Ju-seok was criticized for failing to score when Lee Do-yoon's hit ball headed toward right field, costing the team a win.

While Hong Chang-gi's follow-up response was good, some regret remains that he might have touched the third base bag earlier, as it took some time to get up after being tagged.
