SSG Landers Choi Jung will not attend the Home Run Derby. It's because my hamstring is uncomfortable.

KBO officials said Choi Jung will not be present ahead of the 2025 All-Star Game Home Run Derby at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 11th.

A KBO official said "Choi Jung does not participate in the Home Run Derby because he feels uncomfortable with his hamstring. The All-Star Game will be played normally.




Choi Jeong has already suffered a hamstring injury this season. Didn't make it to the opening game. Even one seems to have been cautious to prevent variables.

'Com pitcher professional baseball home run derby' will be held after the Futures All-Star Game.

Eight of the 12 All-Star players who had eight or more home runs until the game on June 29 were selected through fan voting.




KT Ahn Hyun-min, Samsung Diaz, SSG Choi Jung, Hanwha Moon Hyun-bin, Kiwoom Song Sung-moon, NC Kim Hyung-joon, LG Park Dong-won and Kiwoom Lee Ju-hyung were scheduled to participate.

In addition to the 'Out System' method, which was operated until last year, the 'Part-time' method was introduced for the first time this year, so we can expect a more exciting development of the game. Last year, the player with the most home runs based on 7 outs in the preliminary round and 10 outs in the final won the championship. Starting this year, both qualifying and finals can hit without a limit of two minutes of pitching time, and a maximum of 30 seconds can be used for each time. Even after the time limit has ended, additional hits can be made until two outs in the preliminary round and three outs in the final round.

The winner with the most home runs will receive a trophy and a prize of 5 million won, along with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. LG Standby Me 2 will be provided to the player who hit the longest home run by awarding a trophy and 1 million won in prize money to the runner-up. In addition, the player with the most home runs in the 'Compya Zone' designated in the outfield will receive the Compya Zone Most Home Run Award and donate 1 million won worth of baseball supplies to the player's alma mater.
