Yang Seok-hwan, the Doosan Bears' center hitter, went down to the second division after poor batting.

Doosan canceled first baseman Yang Seok-hwan and registered catcher Park Sung-jae before the 2025 KBO League LG Twins match in Jamsil on the 27th.

Acting Doosan manager Cho Sung-hwan said, `It won't be easy, but veterans have to produce results. I want you to be a little more responsible."

Yang Seok-hwan has been experiencing a prolonged hitting slump this year. On June 3rd, he had already gone down to the second division once.

Yang Seok-hwan even suffered a rib injury in the Futures League. Yang was called back by the first team on July 9.

Yang Seok-hwan, who returned, struggled. He didn't follow luck, with the well-hit ball heading in front of the fielder. After returning, Yang Seok-hwan only had a 0.226 on-base percentage with a batting average of 0.111 and three hits in 27 at-bats in 8 games and 31 at-bats.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan said that veterans like Yang Seok-hwan cannot have the same standards as young players.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan said, `Veterans should produce results. A young player is fine whether he makes a mistake or the result is not as good as expected. You need time and experience it. The veteran expressed regret, saying, "If the results don't come out, we have no choice but to find another alternative."

Kim Jae-hwan was also excluded from the starting lineup on the 27th.

Acting President Cho Sung-hwan said, `Kim Jae-hwan missed yesterday (26th). I tend to look at the connectivity of the game. When comparing the two with Kim In-tae, I am more excited about Kim In-tae's appearance. I think the veteran role is really important at a time when our team is changing its composition to young players" he said.

In the case of Yang Seok-hwan, recovery of the sense of hitting is an urgent priority.

Acting president Cho Sung-hwan said, `It's because the results didn't come out, but there were a lot of positives to lead the juniors"It was well received.
