The high school all-stars team, led by the Big Three, avenged their painful loss from the previous year against the college all-stars team.

On the 8th, the high school all-stars team defeated the college all-stars 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 result, the high school all-stars team improved their overall record against the college all-stars to 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, taking the lead again. The two teams have had closely contested matches in past tournaments: Round 1 (6-6 draw), Round 2 (12-2 win), and Round 3 (1-3 loss).

As befits the greatest festival of Korean amateur baseball, scouts from South 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, 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 impressive. Ha Hyun-seung, who recently turned down a massive offer from the New York Yankees and chose to stay in Korea, appeared as the starting pitcher for the high school all-stars team. He threw a fastball clocked at a maximum speed of 150.7 km/h according to TrackMan and held the opposing team scoreless over 2 innings.

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

Kim Ji-woo displayed a powerful arm capable of throwing up to 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 Kim Dong-ju of Yonsei University, the top college hitter, to claim the championship.

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

In the college all-stars team, players from Dong-A University of Science and Technology 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 maximum speed of 150.6 km/h.
