Lee Seung-yeop Recruited Ko Hyo-joon, Thanking the Club

Manager Lee Seung-yeop explained why he recruited Ko Hyo-joon ahead of the KIA Tigers match of the '2025 KBO League' at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th.
Doosan, which was in a hurry for a left-handed reliever, signed a total of 100 million won (80 million won per year, 20 million won in incentives) with Ko Hyo-joon on the 17th.
Ko Hyo-joon was excluded from SSG Landers' pending roster after the end of last season. Ko Hyo-joon has been steadily building his body by himself, choosing to extend his active career instead of retiring. It opened without finding a new team, but Doosan reached out.
Ko Hyo-joon had to sign a contract as a nurturing player according to the KBO League rules. Players who did not make the list of players withheld from the previous year's original team, i.e., released players, must join the team if they sign with the new team after Jan. 31. Accordingly, Ko Hyo-joon will be able to register for the first team from May 1.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `We needed our left hand in the bullpen. Ko Hyo-joon was without his team now. The ball power is about the same as last year. He is a good bowler for his age. We are grateful to the club from the standpoint of the field.

Director Lee Seung-yeop said, "(Ko Hyo-joon) wants it to be on May 1st." I've been good at individual sports. I saw the video and the data came out well, so I'm looking forward to it."
Meanwhile, Hong Kun-hee has now started playing catch. Even considering the schedule such as bullpen pitching, live pitching, and actual pitching, he can return as early as two weeks.
Ace Kwak Bin, who injured his inner oblique muscle, is still unclear on the schedule. I started a weak-stage catch that didn't strain my side. It is unlikely to return within April.
