At an exhibition game against the Samsung Lions of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon on Monday, the Hanwha Eagles won the game 3-1 and secured its fifth consecutive win. With the game ending after five innings due to low temperatures and cold weather, Weiss pitched as Hanwha's starting pitcher on the day and pitched five innings of three hits, three walks, five strikeouts and one run. He threw a total of 79 pitches including curveball, changeup and sweeper, along with up to 154 kilometers per hour fastball.
Weiss, who turned Kim Ji-chan to a fly ball to left field in the top of the first inning, handled Ryu Ji-hyuk with a ground ball to the first base, and struck out a fast-paced swing and miss with a ball count of 2-2 to Koo Ja-wook to clear the inning. In the top of the second inning, when Kim Tae-yeon took a 1-0 lead, he grounded out Diaz to the first base and gave up a walk to Kang Min-ho, but ended the inning by holding Park Byung-ho and Cha Seung-joon to the third and second bases, respectively.
Weiss was on the verge of first and second base with no outs when he gave up consecutive walks to Lee Jae-hyun and Hong Hyun-bin in the top of the third inning, but he handled Kim Ji-chan with a straight hit to shortstop, Ryu Ji-hyuk with a ground ball to second base, and struck out Koo Ja-wook again with a swing and miss to end the inning without a run. This time, Koo Ja-wook's bat was in vain on the curve.
He allowed a run in the top of the fourth inning. He allowed consecutive hits to Diaz and Kang Min-ho to reach the first and second bases with no outs, and pinch runner Lee Chang-yong, who was on second base, advanced to the third base due to Park Byung-ho's fly ball, resulting in one out and runners on first and third bases. He then struck out Kim Young-woong, a pinch hitter, but lost one point due to Lee Jae-hyun's heavy hit. Afterwards, Hong was out with a fly ball to the left field.
However, Hanwha regained the lead by adding two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Weiss, who took the mound in the top of the fifth inning, handled Kim Ji-chan with a straight hit and struck out Shim Jae-hoon and Soo-ho consecutively to wrap up his pitching on the day with the help of second baseman Hwang Young-mook. And as the game ended at the bottom of the fifth inning, Weiss' complete pitching was recorded.
Weiss also took the mound at the Blue and White game on the 6th, but he became the first pitcher to take the mound in an environment similar to the regular season where fans joined. He is also the only pitcher to take the mound at the new stadium so far. Weiss said after the game, "I felt good personally. It's because the new ballpark is so beautiful and cool. That's why I'm looking forward to this season."
"I felt good that many fans came and cheered me even in bad weather," he said. "I've been trying to increase the number of pitches until today's game, but I'm satisfied with throwing close to 80 pitches today. In conclusion, the preparation is going well," he said, announcing that he is preparing for the opening of the regular season smoothly.
Weiss also said hello to Kim Tae-yeon, who hit his first official home run at the new stadium. "I was also happy to see him hit the homer. Kim has a very good relationship. I want to congratulate him on his first home run at the new stadium," Weiss said.
