The independent baseball team, Hwaseong City Coreyo (hereinafter referred to as Hwaseong City Coreyo), will reinforce its power with the aim of winning the league next season.

Sungshi Corillo announced that he will hold an open tryout at the Hwaseong Heroes Baseball Park Ballpark on the 14th and recruit new players.

The tryout was designed to provide players who did not have a chance on the professional baseball stage and players released from professional clubs with another chance to challenge without losing their dreams.

Since replacing the baton as head coach Shin Kyung-sik in 2025, Hwaseong City has built its position in the independent baseball league by building up the skills of prestigious clubs in two years, including winning the baseball division of the Gyeonggi Sports Festival, second place in the regular season of the independent baseball team, and second place in the KBSA league.

In particular, six players, including Lotte's Park Chan-hyung, KIA Kim Kyung-mook, KT Seo Young-joon, Doosan's Ji Kang-hyuk, Lee Han-byul, and SSG Lee Joon-gi, joined the professional club this year, setting the record for the most joining in an independent baseball season.

Despite the absence of power due to joining the professional league, six players maintained the top ranks with their performance and persistent performance.

Hwaseong City's Coriyo is not satisfied with this achievement and is recruiting players for the bigger goal of winning the 2026 season. Through this tryout, we plan to find potential prospects and select talented people with skills and passion to further enhance the team's power.

Chung Jin-koo, president of Hwaseong City, said, `I hope that Koreyo will not just be a team to participate in the game, but a team of opportunities to challenge the players to their dreams once again.' `We are actively supporting the players who have grown up on this stage to advance to the professional leagues again, and this tryout is also an extension of that philosophy.'

Shin Kyung-sik, manager of Hwaseong City, said "We see the future rather than the past of the players. The passion for baseball, constant self-management, and attitude that values teamwork will be important criteria for evaluation. "Through this tryout, we will provide an opportunity for Hwaseong City's Coreyo to establish itself as a solid independent baseball team."

The tryout, which will be held on the 14th, will be conducted through practical tests and interviews for applicants without document screening. There is no limit to eligibility for application, and anyone over the age of 18 can apply. In particular, the club puts potential and growth potential first.

Athletes selected for the tryout will benefit from free training and accommodation. In addition, infrastructure will be built, including remodeling such as replacing artificial turf at a dedicated baseball stadium that can focus on baseball, installing air conditioners and training centers at the largest indoor practice range of the independent baseball team. In addition, the club bears all expenses for improving the players' skills, such as professional baseball team exchange matches that introduce players to professional baseball teams.

Hwaseong City's Coriyo is looking forward to the emergence of a new star player through this public tryout. And with them, once again, we are preparing for a powerful leap toward higher ground.
