"I'll win the opening game."
Ryu Hyun-jin, who went straight to the Okinawa Hanwha Spring Camp as soon as he wrapped up his contract, said hello to the team with a bright look on his face.
[I'm back after 12 years. I'll work hard so that I can go higher with the players. I hope you do well. Thank you]
Ryu Hyun-jin, who changed into a uniform with number 99 that Hanwha fans have missed for 12 years, skipped lunch and went straight to his first training session.
After lightly warming up, he threw 45 balls in bullpen pitching and checked all pitches, including fastballs, changeups, cutters and curves.
As if he had faithfully carried out his personal training, he showed a powerful ball without doing his best, and his control of the catcher's mitt was a "flame blank."
After hearing that LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop lowered his expected number of wins this season by two because of his return, Ryu Hyun-jin declared his starting role in the opening game against LG on the 23rd of next month.
[(As coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said) We'll bring one of the two wins to the opening game]
Ryu Hyun-jin will take the mound in a practice game after another bullpen pitching and live pitching against batters, and begin preparing for the opening game in earnest.
Act 2 of "Monster Drama," which dominated the KBO stage for seven years from 2006, began.
