Hanwha removed three players, infielder Jung Eun-won, outfielder Lee Won-seok and pitcher Han Seung-joo, from the first division entry on Monday, the 20th, when there was no game.
Jung Eun-won has been removed from the roster again. Jung has posted a batting average of 17.2 percent (11 hits in 64 times at bat) with one homer and six RBIs and an OPS of .609 in 27 games this season. After 17 days of adjustment in the secondary league from April 8 to 24, he returned to the primary league on April 25 and was given the opportunity to play as a center fielder.
He led the team to victory by hitting a two-run home run in the fifth inning against KIA in Gwangju on the 3rd, but failed to continue his feeling. After returning to the first division, he went back to the second division as he failed to show remarkable results with 18 batting average of 18 games (8 hits in 43 times at bat), one home run and six RBIs, OPS.629.
Right-handed slugger Lee Won-seok was also absent from the roster. He has posted a batting average of 143 (one hit in seven times at bat) and an RBI and one stolen base in 21 games in the first division this season. Pitcher Han Seung-joo was also informed of his move to the second division after suffering a slump with one loss in eight games (eight ⅔ innings) and an ERA of 14.54.
In addition, a total of nine players, including LG Twins infielder Song Chan-ui, pitcher Woo Kang-hoon, SSG Landers pitcher Kim Joo-on, NC Dinos infielder Kim Soo-yoon, outfielder Chun Jae-hwan and Lotte Giants pitcher Lee Min-seok, were omitted from the entry.
Lee Min-seok, who returned to the first team after undergoing elbow surgery and rehabilitation, started against Doosan in Jamsil on the 19th and pitched well with three hits, one walk, four strikeouts and two runs in three ⅓ innings. He sprayed fastballs up to 154 kilometers, but only 65 pitches were thrown and replaced as a protection due to minor bruises on his fingers.
