Will Kim Bum-joon, Han Jae-hwan and Song Seung-hwan, who are on the list of NC Dinos N Team (NC Spring Camp), be able to increase their presence during the spring camp.

NC revealed the list of CAMP 2 players of N Team, saying on Wednesday that it will start its CAMP 2 schedule at Changwon NC Park from July 25. Kim Bum-joon, Han Jae-hwan and Song Seung-hwan are listed on the list.토토사이트

It was an expected move. NC manager Lee Ho-joon had previously announced that the three players would be included in the first team camp list. That was why we needed some resources.

First of all, Kim Bum-joon is a right-handed outfielder who was called by NC as the 47th overall in the second five rounds in 2019. He is receiving a lot of expectations for his cheerful long-shot power, and he also completed his military service as a social service worker from 2021 to 2022.

Notably, Kim showed rapid growth last year. He posted a batting average of 0.278 (82 hits in 295 times at bat) and 13 homers with 59 RBIs and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.848 in 90 games in the Futures League (second division). The homerun was ranked fourth in the Southern League, and although he failed to produce a hit, he made his debut in the first division at the end of the season.

Han Jae-hwan, who was designated by NC as the 71st overall in the eighth round of the second round in 2020, is also one of the promising players NC is working on. As a right-handed hitter, he played in 90 Futures League games last year and posted a batting average of 0.264 (82 hits in 311 at-bats) with 15 homers and 48 RBIs with an OPS of 0.780. He ranked second in homers in the Southern League, and hit a home run in four consecutive at-bats against the away Goyang Heroes (Kium 2nd Division) on August 30 last year. At the end of the season, he made his first appearance in the first division as well, playing in seven games and posting a batting average of 0.222 (two hits in nine at-bats) with an RBI.

Song Seung-hwan is also a right-handed outfielder who is strong in slugging. He was called by the Doosan Bears as No. 19 overall in the second round in 2019, but joined the NC Dinosaurs through the second round draft at the end of 2023. He played in 46 games in the first division with a batting average of 0.229 (24 hits in 105 at-bats) and one homerun and eight RBIs, but in 52 games in the Futures League last year, he marked a batting average of 0.260 (39 hits in 150 at-bats) with two homers and 17 RBIs with an OPS of 0.687 . Of his 39 hits, he had 11 doubles.

NC has the best batters in the league, including Son Ah-seop, Park Gun-woo and Park Min-woo, but there are relatively few batters who can hit long balls. The head coach plans to closely watch Kim Bum-joon, Han Jae-hwan and Song Seung-hwan during the spring camp and intensively nurture them so that they can be used in the first team this season.

Coach Lee Ho-joon, who met at NC's New Year's party on the 3rd, said, "I'm taking Kim Bum-joon, Han Jae-hwan and Song Seung-hwan to camp. Since we have the 1st to 3rd batting average (Park Gun-woo, Son Ah-seop, and Park Min-woo) in Korea, I think we're going to get one of the three long hitters," and added, "Since the Futures team made a performance, we need to give it a chance."

Instead, Shin was not included in the list of players in the first team camp. Having joined NC as a pro baseball player in 2017, Shin is a right-handed utta outfielder with a batting average of 0.254 (105 hits in 413 times at bat) and eight homers and 51 RBIs in 196 games in the first team until last year. Last year, he played in 89 games in the first team, posting a career high of 0.284 (61 hits in 215 times at bat) with five homers, 33 RBIs and eight steals.

Unfortunately, he was excluded from the list of top-tier campers, but there is no need to be too frustrated. An NC official who spoke with the reporter by phone said, "Jun Jin-hwan has already been proven. I judged that it would be okay to make physical shape in Korea. I made this decision after consulting with the coaching staff." If he pulls himself up well, opportunities can come anytime.

Meanwhile, Coach Lee Ho-joon, 10 coaching staff members and 38 players will participate in CAMP 2, which will last for 40 days from March 25 to March 5. The team will stay in Tucson, Arizona for 20 nights and in Tainan, Taiwan for 12 nights. The U.S. schedule will focus on training, while the Taiwan schedule will focus on warm-up matches with six teams from the Taiwan Professional Baseball League.

"Our 2025 season has already started with the CAMP 1 (NC Finishing Camp). Remembering that it's time to never come back, I look forward to seeing the players do their best every moment. We will make sure to bring good results without injury during the CAMP 2 period," Lee Ho-joon said.
