"I'm used to it, although they have different uniforms. Maybe that's why I chose to bat with ease." Shim Woo-joon of the Hanwha Eagles, a free agent (FA) transfer, became the hero of the team's victory. Shim Woo-joon, however, had a come-from-behind RBI single from the opening game. However, his former team, KT, had a proper "snifficulty" in hitting the batter's box.스포츠토토
Shim started as the ninth batter and shortstop in the opening game against KT in the 2025 KBO League held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on Sunday, and recorded one hit, one walk, one RBI and one run from three times at bat. Notably, Shim's RBI in the top of the seventh inning made it the come-from-behind winning RBI. Thanks to Shim's performance, Hanwha won 4-3. After winning the opening game against SK (currently SSG) in 2020, the Hanwha Eagles has recorded its first win in five years.
Shim displayed his true value in the top of the seventh inning. Taking the batter's box with a 2-2 tie and two outs and a runner on the second base, Shim gave a come-from-behind RBI single by hitting a timely double that cut the right-center gap. The game was 3 to 2, and Hanwha gradually secured a 4 to 3 victory by making Noh Si-hwan's solo shot in the eighth inning.
Shim Woo-joon, who was interviewed after the game, smiled and said, "I want to give myself a perfect score. I'm glad I hit a shot at an important moment."
He proved his value from the first game after moving to the team. Furthermore, his opponent is KT, his former team that he has worked with for 10 years. Before going to the batter's box for the first time, he thanked Suwon fans while greeting them.
Shim Woo-joon said, "I also felt strange. I was happy to hear the cheers. I'm grateful," adding, "Maybe that's why I wasn't nervous. It was more comfortable."
Familiarity led to results. He was sharp not only in hitting but also in running base. He also had RBI, stolen bases, and scored runs. Before the game, KT manager Lee Kang-chul's complaint, which he said before the game, "I think (Shim) Woo-joon will be under stress, will become a reality."
I wanted to keep my courtesy to Suwon fans. So I refrained from celebrating. "Actually, I wanted to make it bigger, but I didn't think it was polite because I was in front of KT fans. I restrained myself," he said.
He also mentioned his new cheering song. He said, "It gave me a lot of strength." "I'll do well" gives me motivation. It made it easier for fans to sing along. Your loud voice gave me more strength. I'm grateful to my fans," Shim said with a smile.
Lastly, he said, "I will focus more on defense from now on. If my team wants to go up further, I have to do better. I want to play full time." He shakes his team quietly but strongly. Shim is ready to shine more in his new uniform.
