Professional baseball's Hanwha Eagles fell to last place for the first time in the season. It has been two months since the opening.

Hanwha lost 4-8 against the LG Twins in Daejeon on the 23rd. On the same day, the Lotte Giants, who were in 10th place, won 10-6 against the Sajik KIA Tigers and rose to 9th place (18 wins, 2 draws, 27 losses). Hanwha, which had barely maintained 8th or 9th place, was pushed down to 10th place (19 wins, 1 draw, 29 losses).

It is not unusual for Hanwha to be at the bottom of the rankings. Over the past five years, the season has ended with poor performance, ranking 10th three times and 9th twice.

However, the shock of being at the bottom this season is a little bigger. This is because, unlike previous years, this season started with high expectations.

Last February, Hanwha signed an eight-year, 17 billion won contract with ‘Ace’ Ryu Hyun-jin. The club expected that Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned after 11 years in the big league, would anchor the mound, and that Chae Eun-seong, Noh Si-hwan, and Ahn Chi-hong would play an active role in the batting line, leading to a rebound.

In the pre-opening ranking predictions, they were selected as top 5 candidates and their competitiveness was recognized.

Even right after the opening, there was a tailwind. They got off to a good start with 7 wins and 1 loss through March. The problem comes after that. In the month of April, there was a sharp decline with 6 wins and 17 losses (winning rate of 0.261), and even in May, they are struggling with 6 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses (winning rate of 0.353). The biggest reason for the sluggish performance is that both the mound and the batting line are not performing at their best. With starting pitchers including Kim Min-woo and Ricardo Sanchez leaving the team due to injuries, both the starting lineup (5.23) and the bullpen (6.04) are struggling. As a result, the team's average ERA is 5.61, ranking 9th. Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the KBO League under the spotlight, is still showing great ups and downs, recording 3 wins, 4 losses, and an ERA of 4.83 in 10 games. The team batting average is also 10th at 0.259. While batting accuracy is low, he lacks the ability to shake his opponent or the power to throw a single blow. The team ranks 9th in stolen bases (25) and 7th in team home runs (41). Contrary to its performance, which remains at the bottom, it is a huge success at the box office. Hanwha, which attracted attention even before the opening season with the addition of Ryu Hyun-jin, drew a full crowd for 21 of the 26 games it played at home this year. It is tied with the club's record of 21 sellouts in a single season set in 2015. Hanwha, with 300,799 people visiting Daejeon Stadium this season, is boasting an amazing ability to mobilize spectators, with the number of spectators (181,235) increasing by 66% compared to the same number of games last year. However, they are unable to respond to the enthusiasm of the audience and are only taking heavy steps.
