Jae-il Oh and Joo-Hwan Choi send 1.48 billion won and two infielders
Professional baseball Doosan Bears nominated infielder Park Gye-beom (24) as the reward for free agent (FA) Oh Jae-il (34), who transferred to the Samsung Lions.
Doosan called Park Gye-beom on the 22nd, the nomination deadline, after reviewing players outside the list of “20 protected players” handed over by Samsung.
The Doosan team said, “After reviewing the list of protected players, we chose Park Gye-beom, who judged that he was the best out of all pitchers and fielders.
Gye-beom Park explained the background of the nomination, saying, “It is an immediate sense of power that can digest all positions in the infield.”
Park Gye-beom is a’young infielder’ who completed military service in the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Executive Director).
His defense was excellent enough to digest shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman, and his offensive talent was recognized to some extent.
Park Gye-beom, who joined Samsung in the second round of the second round in 2014, played only eight games in the first team in 2015 and 2016.
After serving as a vice president, he began playing 58 games in 2019 and 80 games in 2020, gradually adjusting to the stage of the first team.
Second baseman Kim Sang-soo, shortstop Lee Hak-ju, and third baseman Lee Won-seok were pushed by the leading players, so there were not many opportunities to participate.
Park Gye-beom’s personal career hitting performance in the 1st group is a batting average of 0.226, 7 home runs and 41 RBIs.
During the 2020 season, utility infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk left for the KIA Tigers, and second baseman Choi Ju-hwan signed a free agency contract with SK Wyverns after the season.
Lee Yoo-chan is preparing to enlist.
Doosan, who needs reinforcement in the field, nominated SK Kang Seung-ho as the reward player for Choi Joo-hwan, and Samsung also pointed out Park Gye-beom.
Doosan also receives 940 million won, which is 200% of the 2020 Oh Jae-il salary (470 million won) from Samsung.
Doosan, who gave Jae-il Oh and Joo-Hwan Choi in the ongoing free agency market, rejoices in receiving 1.48 billion won in compensation and players Seung-ho Kang and Gye-beom Park.
Doosan, which produced seven free agents in 2021, signed a stay with infielder Heo Gyeong-min and outfielder Jeong Soo-bin.
Pitcher Yu Hee-kwan and Lee Yong-chan and infielder Kim Jae-ho are in negotiations.
