SSG Landers started to clean up the squad. Veteran left-hander bullpen Ko Hyo-joon was included on the release list.
SSG announced the list of players released on the 5th. SSG delivered that it had no intention of renewing the contract with a total of 10 players, including five pitchers and five fielders.
The most notable player is Ko Hyo-joon. He is a left-hander who was born in 1983. Although he is old, he played a great role as a must-win player until last season. He recorded four wins, one loss and 13 holds in 73 games last season. Even when SSG won the integrated championship in the 2022 season, it played a tremendous role as a must-win group. After being released from the LG Twins after the 2021 season, it gave fans a big resonance with the story of the revival by taking a difficult opportunity at SSG.
He started in a must-win group even after the opening of this season, but his position narrowed due to injuries and the emergence of rookie Han Doo-sol. This year, he played only 26 games, and due to a generational change, he eventually took off his SSG uniform.
Park Min-ho is also a disappointing resource. Sidearm Pitcher who joined in the second third round in 2014. It didn't burst like it would explode, but I ended up experiencing the pain of release. He has a record of two wins in 19 games this year. In addition, Seo Sang-joon, Lee Chan-hyuk, and Heo Min-hyuk could not avoid the blade.
Among the fielders, Kang Jin-sung and Choi Kyung-mo are known players. Kang Jin-sung is a slugging hitter who came to SSG through the NC Dinos. He often competed for the starting lineup, but he went back and forth between the first and second teams without making a clear Everidge.
Choi Kyung-mo performed well in the first team with good defense and running back resources, but eventually gave up his seat due to the emergence of juniors with similar abilities. In addition, infielder Choi Yoo-bin, catcher Kim Ji-hyun and Jeon Kyung-won failed to renew their contracts.
