Han Hye-jin Returns to the Mound After 13 Years, Proves 'Pitching Goddess' Status!

Top model Han Hye-jin made a triumphant return to the pitcher's mound after 13 years, showcasing her 'Pitching Goddess' aura.

The star appeared as the ceremonial first pitch for the 2025 ShinhanSOL Bank KBO League game between the Hanwha Eagles and Kiwoom Heroes at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park on the 13th.

Back in June 2012, Han Hye-jin first garnered the 'Pitching Goddess' title with her pitch at the same stadium, donning a Hanwha uniform and striking a confident pose.

This time, she stepped onto the mound wearing spiked shoes, a departure from her previous pitch which was held in front of the mound. She chose orange spikes, symbolizing the Hanwha Eagles, drawing significant attention.

Before her pitch, Han Hye-jin expressed her honor and support, stating, "I am deeply honored to be here today to throw the first pitch, and I will cheer for all the players to perform their best without injuries."

Her signature elegant wind-up pose, reminiscent of her past performance, along with her stunning 8-head ratio physique, captivated the audience. Despite her undeniable top-model presence, Han Hye-jin couldn't hide her smiles of support before and after her pitch.

A notable detail was her jersey number, '9925'. This unique choice is said to represent a wish for victory in 2025, following the Eagles' championship win in 1999.

Han Hye-jin debuted as a model in 1999 at the 2nd Seoul International Fashion Collection (SIFAC).

She is renowned for her statuesque figure and confident runway presence.

Currently, she is actively participating in various variety shows, solidifying her career as a television personality.
