Doosan announced the release of a total of nine players on the 30th. A total of nine people are eligible, including pitchers Park So-joon, Bae Chang-hyun, Lee Sang-yeon, Jeon Hyung-geun, Lee Min-hyuk, Han Choong-hee, Jang Won-ho, Moon Won-won, and Nam-yul,
Park So-joon joined as a nurturing player in 2013 and recorded 1-7 losses with a 6.07 ERA in 34 games. Park Jong-ki was renamed Park So-joon, and he received an opportunity to compete for selection, but eventually failed to make a place in the first division due to injuries. This season, he played against the Samsung Lions on April 16 and became a losing pitcher by allowing five runs in four innings. In this year's Futures League, he had a record of 1 win, 3 losses and 3 holds with an 8.01 ERA.
Another player named Moon-won (Gaemyeongjeon Mun-won) also failed to avoid the blade of release. He was expected to have excellent curveball skills, but he pitched five ⅔ innings in the first team for the first time in 2020, and played two games in 2021. This year, he entered the Futures League and played only one game.
Bae Chang-hyun, who joined the second round of the rookie draft in 2018 (50th overall), appeared in six games in the Futures League this season, losing two and with a 9.64 ERA.
Lee Chang-yeon, who was drafted in the second round of the rookie draft (60th overall) in 2021, had an ERA of 12.27 in seven ⅓ innings in six games, and was also notified of the release of Jeon Hyung-geun, who was named the second round of the rookie draft (89th overall) in 2019.
In addition, Lee Min-hyuk, who joined the second round of the rookie draft in 2019 (39th overall), Han Choong-hee, who joined the sixth round (59th overall), and Jang Won-ho, who joined as a nurturing player in 2024, were also notified of their inability to renew their contracts.
Meanwhile, Doosan will hold its own training on the 30th and October 1st at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul and then play a wild card game on the 2nd.
The opponent hasn't been decided yet. If SSG Landers lose the game between SSG Landers and Kiwoom Heroes on the 30th, KT Wiz will confirm the fifth place and play a wild card match against Doosan.
On the other hand, if SSG wins, it will play the fifth-place match against KT Wiz, and the winner will advance to the wild card match.
