Five people in different uniforms gathered in the rainy weather.

Hwang Young-mook, an infielder who made a name for himself in baseball entertainment programs, also caught my eye.
Hanwha bullpen catcher Do Seung-hyun takes on the challenge with the support of his teammates.
“(Park) Sang-won said, ‘Do well,’ and ‘You’re the best catcher.'”
It was Jin Woo-young, the only pitching contestant, who received the most attention.

“As I’ve been traveling around the U.S., I’ve been throwing faster pitches than I did in high school, with fastballs over 150 km/h. Then there’s my main weapon, the splitter.”

We look forward to seeing them in their new uniforms at next month’s draft.
