Sports Chosun reporter Kim Yong captured the possibility of a batting accident at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park, which opened this season, and led to additional expansion of safety facilities with persistent follow-up reports.

Since the report of Sports Chosun, safety has been strengthened, with nets on the left outfield fence and a shield separating the outside sidewalk from the ballpark. Unexpected batting accidents could be prevented with timely follow-up reports at a time when awareness of the safety of facilities in the baseball stadium is increasing due to an unexpected accident at Changwon NC Park on the 29th of last month.

The first quarter of 2025 Sports Reporters Awards ceremony will be held on the 24th at the office of the Korea Sports Reporters Association in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.
