KBO announced the list of first-team entries on the 7th. Most of the players who were selected the previous day (6th) were excluded from the first-team entry.

Kim Geon-guk Lee Ho-min (KIA) Lee Jae-ik, Ariel Furado (Samsung) infielder Moon Jung-bin, pitcher Eliaser Hernandez (LG) infielder Kim Jae-ho, pitcher Choi Seung-yong (Dusan), Enmanuel de Hayesus (KT), Tucker Davidson, Park Se-woong (Lotte), Ryan Weiss (Hanwha), Riley Thompson (NC) and Park Joo-sung (Kium) were listed on the first-tier entry cancellation list.




Among them, Park Joo-sung, Weiss, Choi Seung-yong, Heissus, Hurado, Hernandez, Kim Geon-guk, Davison, and Riley were the starters on the 6th.

KBO will play the All-Star Game at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 12th. After the first half of the season until the 10th, it will enter a break.

Players who started on the 6th will not be able to start due to rotation. From the perspective of the team's power, it is better to cancel them and fill in the necessary backup personnel.
