Even though the team is in a tough situation with a one-point gap, Kim is hardly reliable. Kim Seo-hyun (21), the new relief pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles in the Korean pro baseball league, did not miss the opportunity to save his first save in a week. His clean three-out save ended the game of reversal. The team's new king of the Hanwha bullpen is unusual. 온라인카지노
Hanwha came from behind to win the away game against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League 7-6 at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 5th. Although the team was losing 1-5 until the 7th inning, it followed with Moon Hyun-bin's solo shot and Lee Jin-young's two-run shot in the top of the 8th inning, and turned the tables with Moon Hyun-bin's dramatic three-run home run with two outs and runners on the 1st and 2nd bases in the top of the 9th inning.
Taking the lead by one point with 7-6, Hanwha put up Kim Seo-hyun, the closing pitcher, in the bottom of the ninth inning. The team rushed to prepare at a time when the game was almost over due to the two outs in the top of the ninth inning, but Kim did not falter at all. By organizing Samsung's top batters ranging from one to three, Kim ended his team's come-from-behind victory of 7-6 and escaped four consecutive losses. Kim Seo-hyun raised his arms as soon as he confirmed his victory, making his second save of the season.
His pitching was impressive. He met Lee Jae-hyun, who hit the third base including a home run, as the leadoff hitter, but grounded out to shortstop in four pitches. He shouted with fastballs at one to three pitches in a row, but lost his timing with a slider at the fourth pitch. Koo Ja-wook hit a grounder to the second base on three consecutive fastballs, and Kim Young-woong was lured with changeups at one to three consecutive pitches. His changeups were fast enough to reach the maximum speed of 148 kilometers per hour, but his fastballs were faster than that, about 10 kilometers per hour, which was effective in controlling his speed. Perhaps due to this, Kim was out on a fly ball to the left field due to Kim Seo-hyun's fourth fastball, which was delayed.
Kim Seo-hyun, who retired three times with 11 balls, displayed skillful timing competition with batters as well as fastball. After facing off against the first batter, he had some difficulties due to pitchcom problems, but he did not falter at all. mentally, he clearly showed signs of improvement.
Kim Seo-hyun, who was selected as the new closing pitcher on the 27th of last month when the previous closing main phenomenon went down to the second division for adjustment, made his first save of the season against KIA in Daejeon on the 29th. At that time, he allowed a walk to lead Park Jae-hyun in the top of the ninth inning with a 5-4 lead, but ended the game by out-handling the remaining three batters. After throwing the ball one or two consecutive pitches, Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, visited the mound and relieved Kim Seo-hyun, who was somewhat nervous, and took the first step as a closer.
The following day, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, "I was nervous at first. I sent (Yang Sang-moon) pitching coach to the mound to calm myself down after becoming a two-baller. I gave a walk to the first batter, but he blocked it well afterwards," adding, "Going into the ninth inning puts more pressure on me than the sixth and seventh innings. It's very difficult to start, but he made it to the first start well, so he and his team are good."
Kim Seo-hyun, who pitched for three consecutive days from the game against LG at Jamsil on Wednesday, was forced to shut down the ball for five days afterward. During the four consecutive seasons, Hanwha suffered from low scores due to severe slump of its batters, and Kim Seo-hyun, who had no chance to save, also stayed in the bullpen. Even if he had the finishing touch to throw a 160km/h fastball, he couldn't use it, and Hanwha fans couldn't even see Kim Seo-hyun's face.
In the end, Kim took the mound to check his condition with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he was trailing 0-5 against the Daegu Samsung Lions on Wednesday. In his first appearance in six days, he threw six pitches against Kim, caught a ground ball to the first base, and completed the inspection. "I took five days off, but I didn't throw too much. If you take that rest, you can lose confidence even if you come out when you are winning," manager Kim Kyung-moon said. "I made him throw only one batter (to maintain his sense)." Perhaps due to his short pitching on the previous day, Kim Seo-hyun managed to keep the one-run gap very stable by playing fastballs and timing battles that accompanied his ball control.
After the game, Kim Seo-hyun said, "I really wanted to block the game because the batters concentrated and turned the tables in the second half of the game. I'm glad that the entire team seems to have overcome the burden of losing consecutive games," adding, "Personally, I'm proud that I'm improving because my record is better than my last save."
Kim Seo-hyun's save on the day was also the record of 1,100 saves recorded by the Hanwha Eagles. It was the fifth save in the KBO League history. "I am honored to be the 1,100th to record so many saves," Kim Seo-hyun said. "I want to make more saves in the future with this record."
