The Hanwha Eagles started the second spring camp in Okinawa, Japan on Sunday. Thirty-eight players participated in the Okinawa camp, seven fewer than Australia's. Three rookie pitchers such as Jung Woo-ju (19), Kwon Min-gyu (19), and Park Bu-seong (25), also survived. Players who have built themselves up in the first camp will learn the sense of real play through practice matches starting from the second camp. The fact that a rookie has reached the second camp means that he can be used in the first team from his first year as a pro.스포츠토토
Jung Woo-ju, Kwon Min-gyu, and Park Boo-seong, who made impressions at the Melbourne camp in Australia, are all unique in their personality. Jung Woo-ju, who is wearing Hanwha's uniform as the second-ranked player in the first round of the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft, is a right-handed pitcher who throws fast balls up to mid-150 kilometers. Kwon, who was nominated in the second round (12th overall) after Jung Woo-ju, is a left-handed pitcher who boasts of controlling power. Park, who joined the team as a pro-baseball player, is an underhander dubbed the "submarine."
In Australia, they made their own reasons to board a flight to Okinawa.
Not to mention his expectations for Jung Woo-ju, who joined the team with a down payment of 500 million won (approx. "I will make Kang Song-gu trio with Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun," manager Kim Kyung-moon said at the time of nomination. "Many pitchers throw fastballs in our team, and Jung Woo-ju is second to none," said Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach. Jung Woo-ju was shaken up by taking the mound in a practice game with the Australian national team in the first camp and giving away walks, but he showed the power of fastballs, which is his strongest strength. Jung is expected to make his debut season as an intermediate pitcher.
Kwon Min-gyu clearly appealed his presence in the Australian camp. If Jung Woo-joo throws a fast ball, Kwon Min-gyu throws an elaborate ball. Yang Sang-moon, the coach, said, "It's a pitcher who puts a ball in the strike zone and takes it out." Choi Jae-hoon, the main catcher, praised him, saying, "I think I'll be the best left-hander if I stick to my strength." In particular, Kwon Min-gyu started a practice game with the Australian national team on the 15th and pitched 2.2 innings without a hit or a walk. He struck out five. Depending on the performance of the exhibition game, it is possible to be used not only as a bullpen but also as an alternative starter.
Park Boo-sung, who Yang Sang-moon picked as a "hidden card," also showed good performance in Australia. Park started in a practice game with the Australian national team on Monday and allowed four hits (one homer) and one walk, three strikeouts and two runs during three innings. It is important that Park threw his ball against the tough team. After confirming the possibility of Park's performance in Australia, coach Kim Kyung-moon also accompanied a nurturing player, who can be registered as an official player, to the second-tier camp from May. This shows high expectations for Park.
