Ryu Hyun-jin did not pitch, but Ryu was rewarded with a one-hour surprise autograph session.
Lotte also had an average of over 10,000 spectators on two days, with an average of 7,236 spectators across five stadiums, three times the number of last year.
Hanwha, a professional baseball team with the return of Ryu Hyun-jin, held exhibition games in Daejeon on the 9th and 10th, and 12,000 spectators attended both games.

On the 9th, the opening day of this season's professional baseball exhibition game, there were 12,000 spectators at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon, Hanwha's home stadium. During Hanwha's first weekend home game during last year's exhibition game, 5,078 spectators attended the stadium, which more than doubled. This was the first time in 9 years since 2015 that Hanwha had played a home exhibition game in front of a packed crowd, and coach ‘Yasin (野神)’ Kim Seong-geun took over the baton of Hanwha.
On this day, a total of 36,180 spectators (average 7,236) attended the exhibition games held at five baseball stadiums across the country, including Daejeon. This figure is nearly three times the average audience for all professional baseball exhibition games last season (2,527). Doosan, which uses Jamsil Stadium in Seoul as its home base, which can accommodate 25,000 spectators, played an exhibition game against Kiwoom at Bears Park in Icheon, which is usually used as a training ground, and 450 spectators, the maximum capacity, were in attendance. Jamsil Stadium ground construction is in progress. If Doosan's home game had been held at Jamsil Stadium, the total number of spectators in the five stadiums on this day would likely have exceeded 40,000.
With the 'effect of Ryu Hyun-jin's return', the introduction of so-called 'robot umpires' that automatically judge strike balls, and the emergence of new attractions such as the posting of a pitch clock, professional baseball is receiving a cloud of spectators starting from exhibition games. The pitch clock rule is scheduled to be introduced in the second half of this year's regular season, but the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has put up electronic stopwatches in stadiums starting from exhibition games. The pitch clock is a rule that requires a pitcher to throw the ball within 23 seconds when there are runners on base and within 18 seconds when there are no runners on base.
Hanwha, where Ryu Hyun-jin, who played in the Major League Baseball (MLB) in the U.S., returned after 12 years, recorded 12,000 spectators for two consecutive days as all tickets for the home game were sold on the 10th. Even though it was an exhibition game, many fans gathered in front of the baseball stadium about 3 hours before the game started. Ryu Hyun-jin did not pitch in the weekend game on the 9th and 10th. Even though Ryu Hyun-jin's first start in an exhibition game was scheduled to be a home game against KIA on the 12th, there were 10,000 spectators at Hanwha Life Eagles Park for two days in a row. After the game on the 9th, Ryu Hyun-jin held an unscheduled autograph session for about an hour for the fans who flocked to see him.
On the 10th, 10,843 spectators attended Lotte's home stadium, Sajik Stadium in Busan, and 37,682 spectators (average 7,536 spectators) visited the five stadiums across the country where the exhibition game was held on this day, which was more than the previous day. Lotte, where 9,483 spectators visited Sajik Stadium the previous day, exceeded 10,000 on average for both games over the weekend. It seems that many fans visited the home stadium with high expectations for coach Kim Tae-hyung, who took over the baton at Lotte this season. While Coach Kim was the head coach of Doosan, he led the team to the Korean Series for seven consecutive years and won three of them. Lotte responded to the support of fans at home by winning both of their two consecutive exhibition games over the weekend against 'distribution rival' SSG. 안전 토토사이트
