Hanwha Eagles Ryu Hyun-jin left the country to prepare for the new season in earnest. The starting line is the same as last year.

The Hanwha Eagles led by head coach Kim Kyung-moon left for Melbourne, Australia, where the first spring camp will be held on Tuesday. After training at the first camp in Australia, the Hanwha Eagles will engage in a three-game series with the Australian national baseball team on March 14-16. The team will then move to Okinawa, Japan, where the second camp is located, to play a practice game.
It is the first time in 13 years that Ryu Hyun-jin will depart for the first spring camp site with Hanwha players since 2012, just before he entered the Major League. Last year, he decided to return to Korea at a time when the first camp in Australia was underway, and joined the team after the second camp in Okinawa began. Compared to last year when he hurriedly elevated his condition, he is preparing for a new season step by step this year.

"I feel nervous because it's been such a long time for me as well. I've had a lot of young players join me, and although I played this season with manager Kim Kyung-moon, it's my first time in the spring camp, so I'm looking forward to it," said Ryu, whom he met before leaving Incheon International Airport.

"I think I can take my time to prepare from the beginning. Last year, I threw indoors most of the time and threw outdoors from late February when I joined the camp, but I think it will be better this season as well," he said. Asked if he could expect that much more, he said, "I will do my best."

Ryu Hyun-jin played 158 ⅓ innings in 28 games last year, his first comeback season in 12 years, with 10-8 record with an ERA of 3.87. Personally, he expressed regret about his ERA, but he did not play spring camp from the beginning and despite variables such as ABS, Ryu Hyun-jin proved his dignity as a "monster" by being the only player in Hanwha to play the regular innings, become a 10-win pitcher, and become a "monster."

However, the team failed in its highly anticipated and targeted fall baseball. In the media day before the season, Hanwha made a pledge to "acquire offshore offshore Taiwan" when its captain Chae Eun-seong failed to advance to the postseason on behalf of the players, and in December, veteran players including Ryu Hyun-jin and Chae Eun-seong, Lee Jae-won, Jang Si-hwan, Choi Jae-hoon, An Chi-hong, Jang Min-jae, and Lee Tae-yang actually kept the promise by obtaining it in the winter sea.

"It was really cold. I even told my captain, 'Please be careful what you say,'" Ryu said with a wry smile. "But I think it's only natural because we didn't put it into practice. Based on that, I think seniors will do better."

I don't know what kind of pledge I'll make yet, but I'm still looking at fall. As much as I have enough time to prepare, I'm confident in my physical condition. "I've prepared similarly every year. I think I can pitch almost right away, and I think I'm in a good condition during this period," Ryu said.

New stadiums, new uniforms and even new players are expected to win this year. "The new stadium is something that not only me but also all the players have high expectations," Ryu said. "I am personally satisfied because we have reinforced many players including starting pitchers, shortstop, and new foreign batters. I have high expectations as there are many young players as well." 안전놀이터
