So far, there's no need to impress."

Hanwha Eagles manager Choi Won-ho's smile continues. This is the effect of Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to Hanwha for the first time in 12 years.

"It's better than the first time," Choi Won-ho told reporters after Ryu Hyun-jin's bullpen pitching at Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 26th. "It wasn't an all-out pitch today, but I thought about what it would be like when I threw it with all my strength."

Hanwha, which set up a spring camp in Okinawa, Japan, held a practice game with the Samsung Lions on the day. Ryu pitched in the bullpen session separately before the game. Manager Choi Won-ho, pitching coach Park Seung-min, and general manager Son Hyuk checked all pitches, including fastballs, changeups, sliders, curves, and cut fastballs. Ryu, who played 45 pitches in bullpen session on Sunday, threw 60 pitches on the day.

Catcher Lee Jae-won, who received the ball, also said, "I feel good as a catcher because I throw as I ask. All the pitches have been completely controlled."

Ryu Hyun-jin is preparing to start the regular season opener on the 23rd of next month.

Choi said, "So far, there is no problem. There is a bit of tightness, but I heard that Ryu did so in the Major League," adding, "After playing about three games including the Blue and White matches in Korea, I will play in the opening game if there is no problem."

Even before the regular season, the atmosphere of the Hanwha Eagles has been heating up.

In particular, after Ryu Hyun-jin's return, expectations for improvement in the team's power have increased.

Choi said, "If there is anything I want from Ryu Hyun-jin, I will not skip the rotation," adding, "I expect it to help promising players and young pitchers directly or indirectly."

Lee Tae-yang, the pitching assistant, also said, "There have been a lot of promising players coming in recently, and if you watch and learn next to Ryu Hyun-jin, you will get good results quickly," adding, "I think we will be able to challenge for the championship as soon as possible if we take steps step by step from autumn baseball."

"It's a season that motivates the team and has a lot of expectations. I'll prepare well so that the fans who are waiting can laugh," he added.

Chae Eun-sung, who has been captain since this season, has also strengthened his determination to improve his performance.

Chae Eun-sung said, "I took on a heavy position, so I have a reason to do well that much. I think the team's performance is the first thing rather than personal performance," and expressed his commitment, saying, "My strength has improved and it's time to show results, not growth."

"I hope it will be a team that the other team doesn't see easily," he said.

Meanwhile, Hanwha tied the Samsung Lions 5-5 in practice on the day. Noh Si-hwan, Ahn Chi-hong, and Ha Ju-seok hit home runs.

Hanwha will play practice games such as KT ziw on the 28th, Lotte Giants on the 2nd of next month, and KT on the 3rd of the same month before wrapping up the Okinawa spring camp on the 4th.
