The new foreign hitter of the Hanwha Eagles, Esteban Florentine, scored an RBI single for two consecutive games after escaping the long hitless tunnel. Will he be able to see the "real" Florentine.토토사이트
Hanwha won 7-2 in the home opener against the KIA Tigers of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on Sunday. Starting as third batter and center fielder on the day, Floral had one hit, one walk and two RBIs from three times at bat, contributing to his team's escape from four consecutive losses.
Floral, who had not shown bad batting performance by recording eight hits in eight games and 20 at-bats in an exhibition game, fell into silence as soon as the regular season began. The silence grew longer than expected, with only two walks and an RBI without a hit during the four games. Some hitters went head-to-head or narrowly over the foul line. He had no hit in 15 at-bats, with a batting average of 0.000. He was the last-ranked hitter who had met the required number of times.
He rarely reported a hit on Wednesday as well. He grounded out to second base at his first at bat, retired to left field at his second at bat against LG's fifth starter Song Seung-ki, and garnered a walk at his third at bat. Floral's first hit of the regular season broke out only after going 0-for-17 at-bats.
At the top of the ninth inning when Hanwha was being dragged 0-2, when the game ended, Hanwha was in a situation where it suffered a sweep loss without a goal for three consecutive games. The three consecutive scoreless sweeps were a disgrace that only happened three times in KBO history. However, after one out, Kim Tae-yeon got on base with a walk, and with one out and a runner on the second base, which was made by Moon Hyun-bin's grounder to the pitcher, Floral hit a timely hit to the right and made it 1-2.
Since then, Hanwha has lost because no additional points have been scored, but it was one meaningful hit for Hanwha in that Floral's first hit came out as a timely hit and managed to prevent the Youngbong defeat in three consecutive games by making even a single point.
Floral, who reported his first hit, also had a decisive hit on the 28th. Hanwha was dragged 0-2 and succeeded in turning the tables 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning, and with two outs and full base chances, Floral hit a slider from pitcher Lee Joon-young, who changed his position, resulting in a timely two-run hit that fell to the left side of left field.
Hanwha, which opened the score with this hit, added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and won its first game at the new stadium.
After the game, Floral looked back, "I went to the batter's box today with the idea of not thinking too much about the bases and making sure the offense continues." As for the part of the team's long no-hit, he said, "The team members have always supported me, and they came next to me and told me a lot of good things. It's better for the team to win than the hit. I'm satisfied if the team wins, whether it's a hit or not."
In fact, Floral encouraged and cheered for other players not to get tired even when he couldn't report a hit. Kim Tae-yeon, who hit a home run on the day, also often dropped her head as the hit hit went straight to the foot defender. "I didn't take care of anything, but Floral took care of my mental health," said Kim Tae-yeon, who also played a very rough role with foreign players.
Kim Tae-yeon said, "I was annoyed because I got caught hitting well, so Floral said, 'It's okay, you're doing well, it comes out when you come out,'" adding, "Floral must have been more desperate than anyone else. I feel good because Floral hit a hit."
