Even though he hit a home run, he expressed satisfaction. Korean Monster Ryu Hyun-jin (38) of the Hanwha Eagles made his first appearance in an exhibition game.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who got off to a good start in the bottom of the first inning after striking out leadoff hitter Hwang Sung-bin with a swing and miss in the bottom of the first inning, caught Yoon Dong-hee with a flyout to left field and treated Son Ho-young with a flyout to right field, finishing the inning lightly with three outs.
Ryu Hyun-jin got a hit to the right by leadoff hitter Victor Reyes in the bottom of the second inning, but after overpowering Na Seung-yeop with a ground ball to the second base, he succeeded in finishing the inning without cooking and losing a point with a double play leading to third baseman, second baseman, and first baseman.
Ryu, who had a hit to the right by leadoff hitter Yoo Kang-nam in the bottom of the third inning, faced a crisis of second and third bases with no outs as he made a throwing error while handling Park Seung-wook's grounder. However, Ryu handled Jeon Min-jae with a ground ball to the third base, and tied both runners up, and Ryu threw a fastball of 146 kilometers per hour to strike out Hwang, and hit Yoon Dong-hee with a ground ball to the third base to announce the end of the inning without allowing any runs.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Ryu cruised by catching two outs in an instant, but Na Seung-yeop had a hit to right-center, and a 145-km fastball thrown to Jeon Joon-woo led to a two-run homer to left-center field, which forced him to come from behind to allow a 1-2 come-from-behind victory. Ryu, who had Yoo Kang-nam on a walk, then treated Park Seung-wook as a "three-pitch strikeout," and refused to allow any more runs.
"Ryu Hyun-jin will throw 65 to 70 pitches," Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said earlier in the game, but Ryu threw 65 pitches during exactly four innings and left the mound. The Hanwha Eagles put Kwon Min-gyu as a relief pitcher in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Ryu, who posted 65 pitches on the day, displayed ideal pitching performance with 43 strikes and 22 balls, and posted a maximum speed of 147 kilometers in his fastball, indicating his robust pitching cap. Ryu is already facing challenges. However, his pitching has not aged well.
Ryu threw 37 fastballs, 19 changeups and nine curves. He pitched four innings of four hits, one walk, three strikeouts and two runs.
"It was my first pitch in a trial game, and overall I'm satisfied," Ryu said after the game. "First of all, I'm satisfied that I threw all the pitches I planned, and I think I had good chemistry with catcher (Choi) Jae-hoon," he said. "I will supplement what I need to do for the rest of the year and prepare well to finish the season in the best condition."
Ryu returned to the Korean stage last year after signing an eight-year contract worth 17 billion won with Hanwha. Ryu, who finally topped 100 KBO league wins last season, pitched 158 ⅓ innings in 28 games with a 10-8 record with a 3.87 ERA, the third-lowest by a native pitcher after Won Tae-in and Son Joo-young.
