Ryan Weiss is serious about the fall baseball of his team, the Hanwha Eagles. He showed amazing concentration in an important match and led the Hanwha Eagles to victory.
Weiss took the mound as Hanwha’s starting pitcher in an away game against the Doosan Bears in the 2024 KBO League regular season at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd.
Weiss showed off his excellent form from the beginning. He gave up a bunt hit to leadoff hitter Jeong Su-bin in the bottom of the first inning, but he induced Lee Yoo-chan to double play at second base, and even Jarrod Young to ground out to first, ending the inning with three batters.
His first run came in the bottom of the second inning. After Yang had a double to the right, he also had a timely double to the left with an RBI. However, he was still calm. He put to rest Kim Ki-yeon (ground ball to the first baseman), Jeon Min-jae (foul fly to the first baseman), and Kim Jae-ho (three strikeouts) in turn to prevent additional runs.
His pitching continued in the bottom of the third inning. He calmly increased the out count against Cho Soo-haeng (ground ball to shortstop), Jeong Su-bin (third baseman fly), and Lee Yoo-chan (three strikeouts), completing his first three-out inning on the day. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he grounded out to shortstop and struck out Jared and Yang Seok-hwan, respectively, before committing a walk to Kim Jae-hwan, but cooked Kim Ki-yeon with a ground ball to shortstop.
He remained stable even in the bottom of the fifth inning. He struck out Jeon Min-jae, Kim Jae-ho and Cho Soo-ha.
Since then, Weiss, who took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning, finished his mission by catching Jung Soo-bin (center fielder fly), Lee Yoo-chan (catcher foul fly), and Jared (left-handed fly).
His final score was three hits, one four outs and one run. He used fastballs (40 pitches) the most among a total of 87 pitches, and mixed sliders (29 pitches), curves (16 pitches), and splitter (2 pitches). The maximum speed of fastballs was measured up to 153 kilometers.
With his team leading 6-1, Weiss gave the ball to his successor Kim Seo-hyun, who also had the pleasure of securing three wins (three losses) in this season as Hanwha won 7-4 without allowing a tie. Thanks to Weiss’ successful pitching, Hanwha posted 54 wins, two draws and 60 losses to maintain its seventh position, continuing its hope for the fall baseball season. The team is two games apart from KT Wiz (58 wins, two draws and 60 losses) and SSG Landers (57 wins, one draw and 61 losses), ranking sixth, respectively.
After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon gave a thumbs-up, saying, “The starting pitcher Weiss threw well until the sixth inning in the important first game of the three consecutive games.”
Weiss said with a bright smile, “I’m most happy that the team won,” adding, “I focused more because it was a game that could increase my chances of advancing to the postseason, but I got a good result.”
“The fastball and slider ball worked well and the curve was good. I want to adjust my curves and pitch better in the next game,” he said. “The number of pitches was well managed, but I think the pitching coach gave me a good cut after the sixth inning. I have no regrets about throwing another inning.”
Meanwhile, Hanwha, which is aiming for its second consecutive win and third consecutive winnings series through Tuesday’s game, will have right-hander Jaime Barria (5-4, 5.17 ERA) as its starting pitcher. In response, Doosan Bears foretold right-hander Kwak Bin (11-8, 4.10 ERA).
