By Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, May 29 (Yonhap) -- When he is not pitching for the Hanwha Eagles, right-hander Ryan Weiss has the front-row seat from his dugout to some of the best starters in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) this season -- his own teammates. The Eagles have the best starting pitching ERA in the league through Wednesday at 3.41. Their starters also have the lowest opponents' on-base plus slugging with .623.

By Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- It was in late 2022 that Chae Eun-seong left the LG Twins, the only Korea Baseball Organization club he'd played for in his nine-year career, to sign with the Hanwha Eagles as a free agent.

By Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- The offense struck early and came through late, as the Hanwha Eagles beat the LG Twins 6-5 in extras Wednesday in a battle of the two best teams in South Korean baseball. After the Eagles frittered away a 4-0 lead, Chae Eun-seong hammered a two-run home run with two outs in the top of the 11th inning to put the visiting team ahead for good in front of a sellout crowd of 23,750 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.

One team beats the other team 12-2 on KBO Opening Day. And this is what fans of those teams do together outside the stadium after that game. 👏 https://t.co/CjVwJjbekB
Some random info: Former #STLCards pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim (aka KK, remember him??) will be the highest-paid player in the KBO in 2025. Will make roughly $2.05 million US (3 billion Korean won). Kim played for the Cards on a two-year, $8 million deal, from 2020 to 2021.
