The long Lunar New Year holiday began in earnest from the 25th.

While it is a time for ordinary people to greet the New Year with family members whom they have never met before, it is time for the pro baseball to prepare for the season in earnest. Teams from 10 professional baseball teams have left for their spring camps and started quenching them for the opening of the 2025 season.안전놀이터

Attention is focusing on how much the capabilities of the catchers of the 10 clubs can be displayed this season.

Samsung's Kang Min-ho and LG's Park Dong-won, who competed in the Golden Glove catcher category last year, will continue to compete in the new season.

Kang Min-ho is the oldest catcher of the 10 teams. He will lead the Samsung mound with abundant experience.

He also had good batting performance last year. He had a batting average of 0.303 with 19 homers and 77 RBIs in 136 games. In July, he had a batting average of 0.408 with 11 homers and 26 RBIs in 20 games, winning his first monthly MVP award.

He also performed in the Korean Series, which he dreamed of. Kang Min-ho, who hit a home run in Game 4 of the playoffs, relieved his sorrow by himself. However, he failed to win the trophy, which he had been looking forward to. As Samsung finished second in the Korean Series, Kang also shed tears.

Samsung recruited foreign pitcher Ariel Furado and Choi Won-tae, an outside resource of free agent, to increase the starting pitcher's mound. However, it failed to strengthen the bullpen, which it needed. We need to trust the experiences of existing players. Kang Min-ho's role is to lead young pitchers with more experience and to look up higher.

Park Dong-won, who participated in the Golden Glove Awards and swallowed his disappointment, should also be responsible for the LG mound, where new faces joined.

During the stove league, LG brought Jang Hyun-sik, who was the FA's "biggest fish," and also recruited Kim Kang-ryul, who played for Jamsil's "next door."

Jang will serve as the closing pitcher for the new season. Park Dong-won, who was in charge of the back door with Yoo Young-chan, will also contribute to Jang's transformation.

Park Dong-won, who uses Jamsil Stadium as his home ground and shoots 20 home runs, will continue to hit in the new season.

Yang Eui-ji of Doosan, who was not even nominated for the Golden Glove, looks at the 2025 season with a desperate heart.

Yang Eui-ji did not play many games as a catcher last year due to frequent injuries. Due to lack of defensive innings, he was not even selected as a candidate for the Golden Glove. The team entered the fall baseball league, but had to watch it concede both wild card games.

Yang Eui-ji, the captain of Doosan this season, vowed to play many games as a catcher.

Doosan's power has weakened, with Huh Kyung-min moving to KT and Kim Jae-ho retiring.

However, there is hope on the mound. Kwak Bin, who replaced all foreign players and won the most wins last year, and closer Kim Taek-yeon, the winner of the Rookie of the Year award. Yang Eui-ji should work with them to create a rebound for Doosan.

KIA Kim Tae-gun, who finally got the modifier of the "winning catcher," will also continue his steps to build the dynasty.

Kia recruited Cho Sang-woo instead of Jang Hyun-sik, which blocked the gap in the bullpen. Lee Eui-ri and Yoon Young-cheol also came back from injury. Kim Tae-gun runs again to continue his hard-won nickname "winning catcher."

KT has become the first team to beat the fourth-ranked team in last year's wild card game. It was ranked at the bottom of the list at the beginning of every season, but eventually plays in the fall season at the end of the season. It advanced to the postseason for five consecutive years until last season.

Jang Sung-woo, the starting catcher, has played a significant role in this team's moves. He played in more than 130 games following 2023, and recorded 19 homeruns, the most in a season, last year. KT is a team that has all five starters even before its spring camp, which is a rare case among the 10 teams. Jang will also support the team in offense and defense.

The catchers of teams who stayed outside the top five last season will also continue their race for fall baseball again this season.

Lotte left for Taiwan, where Yoo Kang-nam is in spring camp after recovering from his injury.

Yoo Kang-nam, who boasted of being healthy enough to be nicknamed the "gold mine bull," had an eventful season last year.

With the introduction of ABS, Yoo Kang-nam's framing ability, which is his strength, disappeared, and he only had a batting average of 0.191 with five home runs and 20 RBIs in 52 games. Since mid-June, he has been out of power due to poor cramps in his left knee, and eventually went to the operating table in July.

After going through rehabilitation and losing weight, Yoo Kang-nam is still the team's main catcher. In the third year after his transfer, he should play the role of relieving his team's desire for fall baseball.

Hanwha catcher Choi Jae-hoon is preparing to welcome the new season in his new nest. Hanwha will welcome its fans at its new stadium starting from the 2025 season.

Choi Jae-hoon also lost weight with a strong mind. This is because Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon ordered it.

Choi Jae-hoon, who made up his mind while acquiring the winter sea with his senior Ryu Hyun-jin, was tasked with bringing autumn baseball to the new stadium.

SSG veteran Lee Ji-young also needs to show strength of experience. Lee is the second oldest catcher among the 10 major teams after Kang Min-ho. Despite this, she played 914.2 innings last season, showing robust performance. Kim Min-sik is the backup catcher, but Lee still has to take charge of much of the home turf. She also needs to overcome her disappointment in the game to rank fifth last year.

NC catcher Kim Hyung-joon entered the 100 million won salary by signing 110 million won in his 2025 salary contract, a 90% increase from last year.

Kim Hyung-joon, who was the starting pitcher last season despite being a young catcher in 1999, played 119 games, the most since his debut. He had 17 homers, the most in a season, but only posted a batting average of 0.195.

NC is scheduled to compete with Park Se-hyuk in the home turf with Kim Hyung-joon.
