This time, they will change the environment. Jang Jae-young (23), who is trying to move forward, has chosen to change again.온라인카지노

The military athletic unit recently announced the schedule of the "2025 Second Player Selection Physical Fitness Measurement." Jang Jae-young, who is on the list of 28 baseball players, will join the military in June if he passes the physical fitness measurement on the 12th and becomes the final successful candidate. 

The timing of enlistment is an important issue for both players and teams. Conflicts also arise in the process of finding the right time. For that reason, the timing of Jang Jae-young's application for enlistment is unexpected. This is because it has not been more than a year since he turned to a batter. 

Jang Jae-young was a rising star as he was recognized for his potential as a down payment of 900 million won. However, he failed to overcome his ball control problem during his three seasons (2021-2023), and eventually decided to switch to a batter after suffering a right elbow injury in February last year. 

Jang Jae-young made his debut as a first-team "batter" against the Cheongju Hanwha Eagles on June 20 last year, and showed impressive performance with a double and two walks. Two days later, he also hit a home run against foreign pitcher Aaron Wilkerson in the game against the Gocheok Lotte Giants. 

However, he soon confirmed his limit. Jang, who has shown weakness in targeting breaking balls, only posted a batting average of 0.168 in 38 games. He recorded a whopping 64 strikeouts from a total of 139 at-bats. As a batter, he had difficulty taking care of his body due to lack of know-how in handling long-term racing. 

Jang chose to join the military at a time when he needed more experience as a batter. It seems that he took into account the team's situation. Kiwoom filled out two out of three foreign players as hitters this winter. The two players (Jaciel Puig and Ruben Cadinez) are mainly outfielders like Jang. In addition, Lee Ju-hyung, veterans Lee Yong-kyu and Lee Hyung-jong, who rose to become the team's main batter and received an annual salary of 100 million won (110 million won), are also outfielders. 

Kiwoom, which has focused on rebuilding for the past two seasons, expects a good performance in the upcoming 2025 season. Last year, he was able to support Jang Jae-young's adaptation to the batter, but now it is time to form a player to "win."

Jang Jae-young also considered this and seems to have chosen to join the military after much consideration. "I wanted the players to join the military strongly. I decided that it would be better to play baseball in an environment where I can see more balls and gain experience because I haven't played many at-bats on the professional stage yet," Kiwoom general manager Ko Hyung-wook said in a phone call with the newspaper. 

Many players have advanced to the top after being discharged from the military with their skills and experience. Key players include Choi Hyung-woo (KIA Tigers), who has the most RBIs (1,651) in the KBO league, and Yang Eui-ji (Doosan Bears), an eight-time catcher of the Golden Glove.

From Jang's point of view, Na Seung-yup's performance is also a good example. In his second year as a member of the club, Na joined the club and grew up in the Sangmu Baseball Organization before jumping to first base in the 2024 season.
