The Doosan Bears selected pitcher Lee Yong-chan and outfielder Lee Sang-hyuk in the second round of the 2025 KBO draft held somewhere in Seoul on the 19th. Outfielder Choo Jae-hyun and catcher Jang Seung-hyun were leaked.
It has been six years since Lee Yong-chan, who left Doosan at the end of the 2020 season, stood on the mound in Doosan's uniform next year.
Doosan passed the first round. When Lee Yong-chan remained, he exercised his right to nominate in the second round. Doosan also passed the third round and picked Lee Sang-hyuk in the fourth round.
Choo Jae-hyun was taken by Kiwoom in the second round. Samsung picked Jang Seung-hyun in the second round.
Lee Yong-chan is returning to his home.
Lee Yong-chan joined Doosan in 2007 as the first rookie draft pick.
He made his debut in 2008 and played as a Doosan one-club man until the 2020 season.
Lee Yong-chan qualified as an FA, but the contract was not easy. It wasn't until the year passed and the 2021 season opened that he signed with NC.
Lee Yong-chan is an all-weather player who can finish the starting relief. He recorded a 3.94 ERA with 65 wins, 71 losses, 173 saves and 10 holds in 569 games in his professional career.
Above all, Lee Yong-chan is famous as a dugout leader who takes the discipline of pitchers.
Doosan needed a player to set the tone amid the recent increase in the proportion of young players.
The recruitment of Lee Sang-hyuk is also a part of the concern. Doosan has the most vulnerable outfield. There is no clear outfielder other than Jung Soo-bin.
