LG announced on the 24th that it has decided to exclude Heo Do-hwan and Yun Ho-sol from the list of players on hold.
Heo Do-hwan, who graduated from Seoul High School and Dankook University and was named 56th in the second round by Doosan in 2007, joined in 2007, but after being released after a year, he knocked on the professional stage again as a Nexen Heroes nurturing player in 2011 and survived by playing with a stable defense and excellent pitcher lead. In April 2015, he moved to Hanwha Eagles as a trade and in November 2017, he moved to SK in the second draft.
In his later years, the winner's suit came. Huh Do-hwan also wore his first championship ring as SK, which was second in the regular league in 2018, beat No. 1 Doosan with 4 wins and 2 losses to win the upset championship. Heo Do-hwan entered the 12th inning of Game 6 and struck out Kim Kwang-hyun and the last swing and miss in the bottom of the 13th inning, enjoying the joy of winning.

After winning the championship, LG, who needed a backup catcher, quickly caught him. The total is 400 million won for two years. And last year, Heo wore his third championship ring. Curiously, he won all three telecommunications companies, and when he went up to the Korean Series, he boasted a 100% winning rate.
He played in a total of 885 games and recorded a batting average of 299 (316 hits in 1515 at-bats) with 13 homers and 142 RBIs. This season, he played in 59 games and posted a batting average of 138 (11 hits in 80 at-bats) with 11 RBIs.
His last at-bat at LG was when he played as a major defense in Game 4 of the semi-playoff against KT on October 9 and retired to center field fly against KT pitcher Park Young-hyun in the top of the ninth inning.

He played as an intermediate pitcher in the first team for the second consecutive year with a 4.62 ERA of 3 wins and 8 holds in 55 games in 2021 and a 4.04 ERA of 3 wins and 5 losses and 7 holds in 52 games in 2022. And he changed his uniform to LG as a compensation player for FA Chae Eun-sung. It was expected to be a boost to LG's bullpen, but it was a shame.
Last year, he played only four games because he couldn't penetrate the thick bullpen, but this year, he stayed in seven games in the first division despite the difficulty of the bullpen. He recorded four hits and eight walks in four ⅓ innings with a 4.15 ERA. Yun Ho-sol, who played in only 11 games for LG in two years, recorded a career-high 129 games and recorded a 6.6-6-15-hold ERA of 5.30.
