Reemployment immediately after the release of 'One Gang a Day'... 41-year-old veteran left-hander-ERA 3.80 Side Arm, will he succeed in re-employment

Will professional baseball SSG Landers players be able to find a new team. 

SSG announced the improvement of the team on the 5th, saying, "We delivered our intention to release to a total of 10 players, including five pitchers including Ko Hyo-joon and Park Min-ho, and five fielders including Kang Jin-sung and Choi Kyung-mo." 토토사이트

Among the players released this time were Ko Hyo-joon and Park Min-ho, who had a lot of experience in the KBO League. SSG is players who are judged out of their power, but they may be attractive players to other teams. Players who are released are also one of the important resources that each club can strengthen its power without spending much every winter. 

In fact, first baseman and outfielder Kang Jin-sung found a new team by signing a contract with Kiwoom again as soon as he was released. Kang Jin-sung is a mid- to long-distance hitter with a batting average of 266 games (325 hits in 1,236) in the KBO League with 26 home runs, 155 RBIs, 145 runs, 24 steals, and OPS.707. In 2020, he played a batting average of 309li (122 hits in 395 at-bats), 12 home runs, 70 RBIs, 53 runs, 9 steals, and OPS.814 in 121 games, and was loved by fans under the nickname "one gang per day." 

Kiwoom, who had been watching Gangjin for a long time, contacted Kang as soon as it was announced that he had been released, and quickly concluded the contract. Kang said, "I had guessed about the release to some extent. I was thinking that if no team called me, it wouldn't be a bad idea to live a second life. It was my first time to be released, so I was just having a cup of coffee with a friend, and all of a sudden, I got a call from an unknown number. Kiwoom called me right away. So I said 'Thank you' right away and proceeded with the contract. When I got the call, I didn't look back and said I would do it with Kiwoom. I'm so grateful. I think the contract went fast because of you." 


Veteran left-hander Ko Hyo-joon and sidearm pitcher Park Min-ho are also players who are capable of playing in the first division. In total, Ko recorded 47 wins, 54 losses, 56 saves and four earned run average (ERA) of 5.27 in 601 games (890 innings) in the KBO league. Since returning to SSG in 2022, he has maintained his record of 144 games (118 ⅔ innings) with seven wins, two losses and 25 holds and an ERA of 4.93. However, he only recorded two wins, one loss and five holds with an ERA of 8.18 in 26 games (22 innings) this year, and has not been on the first team since the game against KT (loss of three runs and losses in ⅔ innings) on June 27. Not a few obstacles are his age, which will turn 42 next year, but he is still likely to display his competitive edge as a one-point relief pitcher. 

Park Min-ho is a relief pitcher who recorded 15 wins, 8 losses, 28 saves and 5 saves with an ERA of 3.80 in 267 games (295 ⅔ innings) in the KBO League. He spent his career-high season with a career-high 2.42 ERA in 57 games (52 innings) with 2 wins, 1 loss, 11 saves and 4 saves. He also showed good performance last year by recording an ERA of 0.90 in 10 games (10 innings), but struggled this year with two wins and an ERA of 4.76 in 19 games (22 ⅔ innings), and failed to make the first team since the match against Samsung on June 19 (five hits in one inning, two homers, one walk, and five runs with one out). 

Both Ko and Park had reason to be released from the SSG. However, they are veteran pitchers who still have a chance to rebound. Attention is focusing on whether veterans who have expressed their will to extend their active careers will be able to save a new team in the upcoming winter and throw balls at the mound of the first team again next year.
