Hanwha Eagles have fallen from last season’s second place to ninth after losing eight games in a row, prompting questions about the club’s 10 billion won offseason spending.
Hanwha lost 9-6 to the KT Wiz in the 13th meeting of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League season at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 2nd. The defeat extended a dramatic slump in which Hanwha has managed just one win in its last 15 games.
