Brian O’Grady said, “It’s the same idea as the Burch I mentioned earlier.”
O’Grady, wearing a new Hanwha uniform, is a right-handed left-handed outfielder recruited by Hanwha for a total of $900,000 (approximately 1.1 billion won).
Pena emphasized, “Let’s bring out all our abilities. I hope we can achieve good results by concentrating as one.” He said, “It’s nice to see you again. If you have any questions for me at any time, don’t hesitate to ask. I will do the same.”

After light personal training at the lodging, they had a meeting with general manager Sohn Hyuk, head coach Subero, coaches, and the players.
Hanwha stayed at the bottom from 2021 when coach Subero took the helm until last year. Hanwha made up for the new season by bringing in three free agents such as Chae Eun-seong, Lee Tae-yang, and Oh Seon-jin in this Stove League to make up for the lack of power.
Hanwha, who kept the 10th place for three consecutive years from 2020 to 2022, prepares for a new face and a full-fledged season. 바카라
