伏 鳳雛 is the baby of a dragon and a phoenix lying on its stomach. It is mainly used to refer to the unfinished atmosphere.
A new year will always be full of excitement. After waking up from hibernation, professional baseball left their spring camps all at once and started stretching. Rising stars, representing the 10 teams, are spending a busier spring than ever to prove their true value. Above all, the huge success of Kim Do-young, a third-year professional infielder who won the MVP award last season of the regular league, was a big stimulus to hitters who have yet to fully realize their potential.먹튀검증
Since it has not yet fully shone, expectations for its potential are bound to grow even higher. If it can establish itself as a key force, each club has a separate battlefield. Attention is focusing on whether they will be able to remove the tags that have trapped them in the 2025 season and finally create an emergency.
◆The Future League's manager
Players who bombed the Futures League (second division) are a good example. One example is outfielder Lim Jong-chan of Hanwha Eagles, who entered the sixth year this year. It is a disappointing achievement again in the first division. He played in 138 games and posted a batting average of 0.183 (64 hits in 349 times at bat).
He only posted a batting average of 0.158 (nine hits in 57 times at bat) in 24 games for the first team last year. However, the stage for the second team is narrow. He played in 83 games in the 2024 season, posting a batting average of 0.284 (79 hits in 278) with 13 homers, 82 RBIs and eight steals, and his on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) was 0.890 (on-base plus slugging percentage). He has even gained a reputation for his strong shoulders. Now, his immediate task is to prove his batting capability suitable for the first team.
In addition, hot corner infielders Lee Chang-yong (Samsung) and Han Jae-hwan (NC), who were active in the second division stage, are also notable names. Last year, he had 12 home runs, 0.861 OPS, 15 home runs, and 0.780 OPS, respectively.
In particular, Lee had eight homers and an OPS of 0.861 in 38 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) draft league games in the summer, showing impressive performance. However, solving the problem of pioneering eye is an urgent priority. He had four walks and 50 strikeouts in the second division last year. Han Jae-hwan is also a promising player who has high expectations for his slugging capability. On August 30 last year, he showed off his powerful four-base hit against Goyang (Kium Futures).
◆Based on the experience of the first team
Infielder Yoon Do-hyun suffered side and finger injuries last year. Nevertheless, he had a call-up in the first team and a batting average of 0.407 (11 hits in 27 at-bats) and one homerun and one stolen base in six games. Kim Do-young, who joined the team in the same period of time, also gave a thumbs-up to his genius. As he is also included in the list of spring camps to be held in Irvine, the U.S., he is expected to grow further.
Similarly, catcher Kim Gun-hee (Kium, nine homers in 83 games) and infielder Ko Myung-joon (SSG, 11 homers in 106 games) who stood out in the first division last season also joined the team's spring camp. Of course, he showed good performance last year, but it is premature to be satisfied. Here, he needs to draw another right-handed angle to add a wedge.
Kim Dae-han (Doosan), a seven-year veteran outfielder, is also sweating in the first-team camp. He earned the nickname "Hwimungo Ohtani" for his pitching and hitting performances in high school. However, since joining the team through the first round of designation in 2019, he has only posted a batting average of 0.184 (49 hits in 267) with six home runs in 164 games in the first division. Many still have high hopes for his potential. It is not too late, but it is time to change his performance.
◆ I was ordered to be discharged from the military
Attention is also focusing on whether retired soldiers will perform well. Outfielder Cho Se-jin (Lotte), born in 2003, who finished his military service quickly, aims for a soft landing in the first division. The decision has already been made. Lotte has started to clean up its outfield resources by using Kim Min-seok and Choo Jae-hyun as trade cards in this stove league. Analysts say that Lotte highly evaluated Cho's growth potential after being discharged from the military athletic unit in November last year.
All-round utility Lee Young-bin and infielder Kwon Dong-jin, who will start their first spring camp after completing their military service, are also making all-out efforts to eliminate the label of promising players. They joined the team from the second half of the previous season, but they did not have enough time to display anything. As they have undergone trial and error, they are expected to change their appearance this season.
