KBO confirmed the list of players for the 2025 KBO Futures All-Star Game to be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon at 6 p.m. on July 11.
A total of 48 players, 24 each representing the Northern League (Hanwha, SSG, LG, Doosan, and Goyang), and the Southern League (Sangmu, KT, Samsung, NC, Lotte, and KIA), will play in the Futures All-Star Game, and only those who joined after 2021, who are less than five years old as of this season, will be eligible to play. Even if the players on the roster are registered in the first team, they can play in the Futures All-Star Game.
In the Northern League All-Star (first base dugout, back ball) led by Hanwha manager Lee Dae-jin, pitchers are Won Jong-hyuk (Hanwha), Han Ji-heon (SSG), Kim Woong, Kim Jong-woon, Park Si-won (LG), Kim Han-joong, Park Yeon-jun (Dusan), Im Jin-mook, Jeong Se-young (Kyang), catcher Heo In-seo (Hanwha), Lee Yul-ye (SSG), Kim Sung-woo (LG), infielders Bae Seung-soo (Hanwha), Choi Yoon-seok (SSG), Son Yong-joon (LG), Kim Joon-sang, Han Da-hyun (Dusan)
In the northern league, Hanwha Heo In-seo, who recorded his third consecutive home run in the Futures League history on June 11, is expected to play. Heo In-seo is tied for first in the Northern League home run category with eight home runs in the Futures League until June 29. In addition, catcher Lee Yul-ye, who was selected by SSG in the eighth place in the first round of the 2025 rookie draft, will also play in the All-Star Game of Futures. Lee Yul-ye has been impressive in his first season with a batting average of 0.351, 27 hits and 3 home runs.

The Southern League includes a number of players who won the new monthly Mediheal Futures Rookie Award this year. Samsung's Jung Min-sung and Sangmu Ryu Hyun-in, who won the Futures Rookie Award from March to April, and Samsung's Kim Dae-ho and Sangmu Ryu Hyun-in, who won in May, were all included in the list of all-stars in the southern league.
The Futures All-Star Game will award the Best Performance Award following last year, and more colorful and interesting games will be held through the players' unique makeup and performances. The winner of the Best Performance Award will be provided with 1 million won in prize money and an injury through the sponsorship of Medi Hill, the sponsor of the Futures League title. Lotte Park Joon-woo was selected as the first winner last year.
Hanwha's Kim Seo-hyun, who attended the Futures All-Star Game last year, made a big success by turning into a finishing pitcher this year. He also received the honor of being the No. 1 fan vote in the first-team All-Star Game. Will a new star be born next year to succeed Kim Seo-hyun. I'm curious.
