He recorded a Samjin against Lee Chang-yong but allowed a run with a single to Yoon Jung-bin. He finished the inning by getting Kim Do-hwan with a looking Samjin.

In the second inning, after 1 out, Han Hyun-hee allowed a double to Ham Soo-ho. He struck out Park Jang-min and Kim Jae-hyuk, finishing the second inning.

In the fourth inning, Han Hyun-hee recorded a pop fly out against lead-off hitter Cha Seung-jun but allowed a single to Ham Soo-ho. He induced a double play from Park Jang-min, finishing the fourth inning. Han Hyun-hee was substituted for Lee Young-jae in the fifth inning, leading 2-1.

Meanwhile, Han Hyun-hee has made two appearances on the first team mound this season, recording a hold with a 0.00 earned run average. On the 14th, he delivered a perfect performance as a substitute starter against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju, pitching 4 ⅓ innings, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 5 without allowing a run.
