Hanwha decided to hold Jung Woo-ram's retirement ceremony in one of the remaining home games this year.

Jung Woo-ram was nominated by the SK Wyverns (current SSG Landers) as the 11th overall pick in the second round in 2004 and joined the Hanwha Eagles as an FA ahead of the 2016 season.

Jung Woo-ram played in the first team for a total of 18 seasons until last year, except for the 2013-2014 season, during his military service. In particular, he played more than 50 games in 15 of the 18 seasons he played in the first team, becoming a epitome of consistency and sincerity in the league.

Jung Woo-ram set a record for his first 1,000-game trip as a league pitcher against Daejeon NC on October 2 last year.

He then set a new record for the most games played in Asia by a single-league pitcher with a record of 1,003 games played against Lotte in Daejeon on October 15.

Jung Woo-ram, who accepted the club's playing coach proposal after the end of last season, has been focusing on coaching juniors as a residual pitching coach without taking the mound in the first team this season, and will take on a new challenge by deciding to retire from his career.

Jung Woo-ram "I was able to stand on the mound for a long time with the help and love of so many people, including the Hanwha Eagles."I sincerely thank everyone who supported me and helped me."

Information related to Jung Woo-ram's retirement ceremony will be released later on Hanwha Eagles' official SNS.
