The unofficial first home run at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, the new home ground of the Hanwha Eagles in professional baseball, was a grand slam. In a match between the Futures team and its own Cheongbaek match held on the 6th, first baseman Kwon Kwang-min (28) became the hero of the first home run of the new stadium with a grand slam over the right-center fence in the bottom of the 6th inning.먹튀검증

Kwon Kwang-min's home run hit a fastball of 153 kilometers per hour, drawing attention. The pitcher who threw this ball was right-hander Won Jong-hyuk (20), a former Guriin Warehouse player who joined the Hanwha Eagles in his second year.

Considering the result of the game alone, it was like a nightmare for Won. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Lee Jin-young, the first batter, hit a double that passed the height of the left field, and Kim hit a ground ball to the shortstop, but Lee gave up an infield single to build up bases. He then gave a walk after a full count match with Moon Hyun-bin, and a fastball thrown to the middle to the next batter Kwon Kwang-min to catch a first-pitch strike led to a home run.

Won then allowed Hwang to walk and steal second base, but allowed Lim Jong-chan to hit a ground ball to second base, but allowed another run on a wild pitch at Lee Jae-won's at-bat. After Lee Jae-won had a hit to the right, Lee gave up a walk to Lee Do-yoon, and handed over the mound to Kim Jong-soo with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. The ratio of strikes (20) and balls (19) was similar with 39 pitches.

Kim Jong-soo struck out Choi In-ho and ended the bottom of the sixth inning without allowing any additional runs. Won's performance on the day was four hits (one homer) and three walks and five runs in ⅔ innings. Although the results are disappointing, Won clearly showed his strengths against the top-tier batters on the day. According to Trackman's measurement, Won's speed on the day reached the maximum of 156 kilometers per hour. He threw 24 fastballs but his average speed was 152 kilometers per hour, which was consistent as well.

Standing 184 centimeters tall and weighing 92 kilograms, Won has been a power pitcher who throws heavy balls in the mid to late 140 kilometers range since he was an in-house player. When he was a junior in high school, his ranking dropped to the ninth round as his ball speed dropped toward the end of the season, but Hanwha selected him with an unfinished gemstone in anticipation of the future.

Last year, he recorded 17 games (17 innings), one win, one loss, one hold, 9.53 strikeouts and 12 strikeouts in the Futures League. His ball control was shaken significantly by 14 walks (nine walks and five balls that fit his body), but he elevated his ball speed to the 150-km range. After joining the pro league, he gained strength through systematic training.

This year, he continued to throw fastballs up to 154 kilometers per hour at the Futures Camp held in Kochi, Japan, and displayed good pitching in practice games. He also had the opportunity to take the mound in a match between Cheongbaek and Cheong Wa Dae teams, and displayed potential by throwing up to 156 kilometers per hour. In terms of speed, he is as good as Moon Dong-ju, Kim Seo-hyun and Jung Woo-ju, Hanwha's best asset.

Of course, a pitcher cannot be evaluated only by his fast ball control. No matter how fast the ball is, it is useless if he fails to control the ball. A breaking ball that can lure a batter's bat along with a fast ball should also have a degree of completion. After the two-strike, Won was either fouled off or threw a ball, putting him at a disadvantage. His fastball, slider (15) and two pitch shook his ball control, which made it difficult for him to deal with top-tier batters.

There are many things to improve, but a young pitcher who is just 20 years old now has nothing to lose. Although the team held a welcoming ceremony at its new stadium, it will be a good experience for baseball in the future. Though it did not last even one inning, it is a talent that cannot be easily taught at 156 kilometers of fastball. In the 2020s, another promising pitcher appeared in Hanwha's "fireball corps," where fastball pitchers are constantly increasing. This is a potential that cannot be easily secured to the bottom of the ninth round.
