"Song Sung-moon will be the captain."

The Premier 12 national team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, held its first training session at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 24th.

After the convocation on the 23rd, he started his first training at Gocheok Dome.



Song Sung-moon (27, Keum Heroes) was the captain. Considering the 2025 World Baseball Classic and the 2026 Los Angeles Olympics, the 'Ryu Joong Il-ho' has started to change the generation of the national team. Song Sung-moon is a middle-aged and junior high school student in this national team.

For Song, the captain is not an unfamiliar position. He also served as captain of his team Kiwoom this season. Above all, Kiwoom has also entered a full-scale reconstruction, so there are many young players. Song Sung-moon was evaluated as having played a role that encompasses both senior and young players well. In addition, taking the captaincy may create a burden outside of baseball, but Song Sung-moon spent his career high season with a batting average of 34 19 home runs, 104 RBIs, and 21 steals (OPS) of 0.927 in 142 games.

In addition to the 'Song Seong-moon Claims' there were cards that I was worried about. I thought of Koo Ja-wook (31, Samsung Lions), but I had a knee injury while stealing in the second round of the semi-playoff against the LG Twins. He has come to the point where he does not have to go on crutches after receiving urgent treatment in Japan, but he is not able to play in 100% condition. In particular, while his team Samsung is playing the Korean Series, ' pinch-hitter participation' was considered, but he failed to play.

Coach Ryu announced the appointment of Song Sung-moon as captain, adding that `I also thought about Koo Ja-wook, but it is unclear whether he will join due to injury.'



Meanwhile, a total of 35 players were listed on the training list for Gocheok Dome. Among them, a total of 12 players, including 7 KIA players, 4 Samsung players and LG Son Joo-young, who are out due to injury, began training on the 24th.

The team will perform training and practice matches. After two warm-up matches with the Cuban national team on November 1 and 2, he will depart for Taiwan on November 8 to train for local adaptation.

According to the regulations, the final entry can be replaced until the opening game. The Power Reinforcement Committee will focus on each player during the postseason and call-up training to confirm the final 28 players.
