SSG Landers arbitrarily dismissed Choi Min-chang, who was a promising outfielder.

Prior to the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 1st, an SSG official said, `Outfielder Choi Min-chang recently met with the club and expressed his intention to voluntarily dismiss it for his second life and career path. The club completed the application for voluntary termination to KBO today (1st) in respect of the player's decision" he said.

Choi Min-chang was a prospect who graduated from Shinil High School and joined the LG Twins as the 17th pick in the second round of the 2015 rookie draft.




However, Choi Min-chang was released after the 2023 season without getting a position at LG, and continued his dream of becoming a professional player by signing a contract with SSG last year.

Choi Min-chang seems to have prepared to end his professional career by rarely getting a chance in the first team at SSG. Last year, he played in seven games in the first team and recorded no hits and two points in three at-bats. I never got a chance in the first team this year.

Choi Min-chang took off his uniform with a total of 27 KBO games, a batting average of 0.231 (9 hits in 39 at-bats) and two RBIs.
