The Hanwha Eagles of the Korean professional baseball league have hit a 12-game winning streak, getting closer to the franchise's all-time record.

On the 11th, Hanwha achieved an 8-0 victory against the Kiwoom Heroes in the '2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League' at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.

The Hanwha lineup recorded 11 hits and 1 home run. Lee Jin-young launched his fourth home run of the season, while Hwang Young-mook, Moon Hyun-bin, and Noh Si-hwan tallied multiple hits. Starting pitcher Ryan Weiss delivered 8 innings with 1 hit, 2 walks, 9 strikeouts, and no runs, earning his sixth win of the season. Kim Jong-soo appeared in the 9th inning, recording 1 inning with 1 strikeout and no runs to finish the game.

This season, Hanwha has shown unstoppable momentum. From the game against Kiwoom on the 13th of last month to the game against Lotte on the 23rd, they recorded 8 consecutive victories, achieving this feat for the first time in 2 years since 2023. Hanwha also became the first in franchise history to record 8 consecutive winning starts.

After appearing to halt with two consecutive losses, Hanwha began another winning streak starting with a victory against KT on the 26th of last month. Hanwha recorded two consecutive victories against KT and then captured both games against LG, who were leading the league at that time, on the 29th and 30th, achieving 4 consecutive wins.

On the 2nd and 4th, Hanwha won both away games against KIA and then swept the three home games against Samsung from the 5th to the 7th, successfully achieving 9 consecutive wins. This is the first time in 20 years since 2005 that they have managed 9 consecutive wins. On the 9th against Kiwoom, they achieved 10 consecutive wins for the first time in 26 years since 1999, and on the 10th against Kiwoom, they recorded 11 consecutive wins for the first time in 33 years since 1992.

Making history, Hanwha has surged to a 12-game winning streak with this victory. It has been 12,041 days since they last achieved 12 consecutive wins after a victory against SSANGBANGWOOL in a doubleheader on May 23, 1992. At that time, Binggrae continued their winning streak until May 26 against Lotte, recording 14 consecutive wins, which remains the franchise's all-time record.

With just 2 wins remaining to tie the franchise's all-time record, Hanwha now returns home to face Doosan in a three-game series starting from the 13th. Hanwha is expected to have Ryu Hyun-jin, Moon Dong-joo, and Eom Sang-baek as their starting pitchers. Doosan's likely starting pitchers are Jack Logue, Choi Seung-yong, and Choi Jun-ho. If Hanwha continues their winning streak, a matchup between Eom Sang-baek and Choi Jun-ho on the 15th could challenge the franchise's all-time winning streak record.

Having achieved a 12-game winning streak, Hanwha boasts a record of 27 wins and 13 losses for a winning percentage of .675, currently leading the league. They maintain a higher winning percentage than Binggrae's franchise-best record established in 1992 of .651 (81 wins, 2 ties, and 43 losses), thrilling fans. All eyes are on Hanwha to see how far their unbelievable winning streak will go.
