The high school all-star team, led by the Big Three, avenged last year's painful defeat against the college all-star team.

On the 8th, the high school all-star team defeated the college all-star team 6-4 in the 2026 4th Hanwha Eagles Cup High School-College All-Star Game held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park.

With this victory, the high school all-star team improved their head-to-head record to 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, once again taking the lead over the college all-star team. The two teams have had closely contested matches in previous tournaments: a 6-6 draw in the first round, a 12-2 win in the second round, and a 1-3 loss in the third round.

As befits the pinnacle festival of Korean amateur baseball, scouts from Korea, the United States, and Japan all gathered. Scouts from all 10 KBO clubs, 12 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams in the United States, and 2 Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) teams in Japan attended.

To give every player an opportunity, all players who can both pitch and bat decided to focus on only one position.

Among them, the performances of the high school Big Three—Ha Hyun-seung (18) of Busan High, Eom Jun-sang (18) of Deoksu High, and Kim Ji-woo (18) of Seoul High—were particularly impressive. Ha Hyun-seung, who recently turned down a massive offer from the New York Yankees and chose to stay in Korea, started for the high school all-star team on this day. He threw a fastball clocked at a top speed of 150.7 km/h according to TrackMan and pitched 2 scoreless innings.

At the plate, Eom Jun-sang went 3-for-4 with 1 RBI, swinging the bat powerfully. Additionally, Eom Jun-sang played full-time at shortstop, showcasing impressive running skills and proving why he is a top candidate for the overall first pick.

Kim Ji-woo displayed a powerful arm capable of throwing at a top speed of 153 km/h and natural power. He split time at first base and third base with Lee Ho-min, making outs with strong throws, and in the Home Run Derby, he defeated Yonsei University's top hitter, Kim Dong-ju, to claim the championship.

Elsewhere, Seoul Design High's left-handed pitcher Park Geun-seo won MVP with scoreless pitching over 2 innings, striking out 4 batters with a fastball reaching a top speed of 149 km/h. Another two-way player, Lee Hyun-min of Daegu High, also took the mound and recorded 1 scoreless inning with a fastball clocked at a top speed of 144.8 km/h.

In the college all-star team, players from Dong-A Science University shone brightly. Kang Do-hyun hit a tying three-run home run, while Park Se-jun left an impressive impression with a fastball reaching a top speed of 150.6 km/h.
