Moon Hyun-bin (22, Hanwha Eagles) achieved double celebration by hitting two-digit home runs for the second consecutive year in enemy territory and securing a car worth 30 million won.

On the 23rd, Moon Hyun-bin started as the third hitter and center fielder against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League away game, hitting a two-run home run against Keisho Shirakawa in the bottom of the third inning.

With the team leading 1-0 and one out with a runner on first base, Moon faced a favorable 3-1 count and smashed a 146 km/h fastball down the middle over the right-field wall. The distance was 125 meters.

Selected in the second round, 11th overall pick of the 2023 Rookie Draft, Moon Hyun-bin wore the Hanwha uniform and emerged as one of the league's top outfielders last season, his third year, with a .320 batting average, 12 home runs, 80 RBIs, 71 runs scored, .370 on-base percentage, .453 slugging percentage, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.823.

This season, Moon Hyun-bin has shown even higher production with a .297 batting average and 0.842 OPS, and by adding this home run, he achieved two-digit home runs for the second consecutive year.

Even more welcome was receiving a large gift. The ball headed toward the 'KIA Home Run Zone' installed in the right-field grass seats at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field. KIA gifts players who hit the structure with a 30 million won 'The All-New CelToss' vehicle of the same model. Moon Hyun-bin, who hit a home run on an away game, will return to his home field with an unexpected large gift.
