"I was grateful to be with children who really love baseball again this year."

The '2025 3rd Kim Tae-kyun Baseball Camp with Hongseong-gun' was held at Manhae Night Stadium in Seongjeong-myeon, Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do on the 25th and ended a meaningful day with youth players and professional players from all over the country.

The camp, which marks its third year this year, involved 52 sixth-grade baseball players from all over the country, and it was a special experience to receive direct guidance from active professional baseball players, and it was a valuable opportunity for young players to learn the passion and attitude of the professional stage closely beyond simple training.




The coach team, including Kim, did their best to help children feel the joy of growing up through baseball, taking a detailed look at the basics, the flow of the game, and teamwork.

This year, a large number of active and retired players, including Song Sung-moon (Kium Heroes), Yang Hyun-jong, Choi Hyung-woo, and Kim Tae-gun (KIA Tigers), Huh Kyung-min and Ko Young-pyo (KT Wiz), Jung Soo-bin (Doosan Bears), Park Gun-woo (NC Dinos), and Jinyoung Kim (former Hanwha Eagles), participated in this year's coaching team to provide dense training and advice tailored to the children's eye level.
