The Phoenix Baseball Team, the managing director of the Korean military sports unit, has notified the final successful candidates for the 2024 enlistment.

On the 1st, the managing director completed the final notification of individual acceptance for applicants. Notifications are made individually, and each KBO League club is trying to figure out the final successful candidate list among its players.

The most prominent name among the successful candidates is Hanwha Eagles infielder Jung Eun-won. Jung Eun-won, a former Golden Glove winner in the second baseman category in 2021, has been greatly loved by Hanwha fans since his debut as a high school graduate rookie in 2018. However, he failed to shake off the swamp of his poor batting performance. After hitting a batting average of 283 in 2021, it fell to 274 in the 2022 season and 2202 last year, forcing them to compete for the starting lineup. Ahead of this season, he even turned to the outfield, but played only 27 games and went down to the second division on May 20 to play in the Futures League.



Joining Sangmu could be a new opportunity for Jung Eun-won. After solving the military service problem that was holding back, an environment has been created to grow one step further. In addition to Jung Eun-won, Hanwha pitcher Han Seung-joo was listed on the list of successful candidates.

Lotte Giants' promising pitcher Kim Jin-wook passed. Kim Jin-wook, a former ace of Gangneung High School who received great attention from the time he joined the professional team in the 2021 season, is growing into a starting prospect for Lotte. He pitched in 11 games this season with three wins, no losses, and an ERA of 4.65. Lotte's infielder Chung Tae-sun was also on the list of successful candidates.



In the LG Twins, pitcher Kang Hyo-jong will join Sangmu. Kang Hyo-jong, who was the first designated player in 2021, is an unfinished standby with a record of 2 wins, 2 losses and an ERA of 6.43 in nine games in the first division.
