SSG Landers will face Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 2nd. KBO will implement an expanded entry from the 1st. Five more people can be enrolled in the first team, up from the previous 28 people.

SSG removed Park Ki-ho from the entry on the 1st, leaving six empty spots. SSG registered pitcher Park Si-hoo, Jeong Dong-yoon and Chun Beom-seok, catcher Lee Yul-ye, and infielder Choi Jun-woo Hong Dae-in. Among them, Cheon Beom-seok, Lee Yul-ye, Hong Dae-in, is a rookie in 2025.




Park Si-hoo, who joined SSG in the second round of the rookie draft (100th place) in 2020, appeared in 45 games this season and achieved compliance with 5 wins, 2 losses and 3 holds with an ERA of 3.54. On the 22nd of last month, he was called by the first team again, who was excluded from the first team entry.

Right-hander Chung Dong-yoon joined the team in 2016 as the first draft pick. He played in eight games this season and posted an 11.37 ERA in 12 ⅔ innings. Cheon Beom-seok joined SSG in the fourth round (38th overall) of the rookie draft in 2025 as a right-hander, and played in 18 games in the Futures League, recording 3 losses and an ERA of 5.55.

Regarding the part where a large number of new players were registered in the expanded entry, SSG coach Lee Sung-yong said, "(Cheon) Bum-suk and (Lee) Yul-ye intend to make them experience while in a comfortable situation," adding, "First of all, we will go to a situation where the main player can make a save, but that is also an opportunity. Players should be well aware of that. This is also an opportunity, so I think we need to think about how to catch it," he stressed.

Director Lee continued "The director doesn't call and write for no reason. I'm going to calculate everything and see how much I can use next year and what I'll look like when there are spectators in the first team."

Director Lee cited rookie Choi Hyun-suk in 2024. Choi Hyun-suk played in two games last year and took the mound in 13 games this season. He has not been able to play recently due to a back injury, but he has shown clear growth. Manager Lee said, `Choi Hyun-suk did not even stop an inning last year even when there was a difference in score. However, it got better when I came up for the second time, and it got better when I came up this year. I've been injured, but I think that's the experience."

Director Lee said "It is right that fostering should be done in the first team. You have to use it in the first team to know. No matter how good it is in the second division, it is a completely different stage from the first division. It's good if you taste the first team and do well in two or three times, but if you don't, I think if you give and send feedback to train and get used to it, explosive friends come up" he said.
