At the Taebae National Little Baseball Tournament held in October, he ranked third and continued his status as a strong team. The even performance of several players, including Cho Hyun-woo, Kim Do-dam and Han Jin-soo, was also encouraging. At the 2nd Professional Baseball Players Association held in November, he also ranked third, solidifying his position as a top team.
In November, he was invited as one of the Little Baseball Team at the '2024 Lee Seung-yeop Invitational', Korea's first unified baseball tournament. It was the first integrated baseball tournament in Korea involving four representatives from the Korea Baseball Softball Association (Gyeonggi Hope University, Gwangju Soochang Elementary School, Gwangju Hwajeong Elementary School, and Daegu Bonri Elementary School) and four representatives from the Korea Little Baseball Federation (Namyangju City Little, Yongin Barun Little, Incheon Seo-gu Little, and Hwaseong City A Little).
Manager Lim Jae-chul, the general manager and manager of Yongin Barun Little Baseball Team, is a former Bukil High School-Gyeongseong University and has been a professional outfielder for 18 years in Lotte and Doosan. He was an exemplary player who showed the essence of the fielder, who was a great help to the team by playing in offense and defense.
During his professional career, Lim was truly 'FM (field manual)' itself. As a rule when other players were tricking, they performed basic repetitive training and carried out it again like a programmed robot. That's how outfield defense like a professional baseball textbook was completed. He is running the Little Baseball Team as he is sincere and upright when he was active.

It is well incorporated into director Lim Jae-chul's guiding philosophy.
"I think catch is the most important thing for players of this age. The first catching posture you learn in baseball is more important than anything else. If you send the catch to middle school with only the catch complete, the game, such as bat and base running, is a fight in the first and second years of high school. If you don't have the basics of catch, you can't go any further."
Why is Japan developing rapidly, widening the baseball gap with Korea? It is in the same context as the emphasis on basic skills such as 'Catchball', which is emphasized in Barun Little. As you receive proper training from an early age and thoroughly strengthen your basic throwing training and go forward, your skills will inevitably improve.
"I realized when I went to the first competition. If the catch doesn't work, nothing will work. So, with tubing and so on, I always emphasize playing catch in the right position. Now, the third period has come up, and I feel proud when the players produced by Barun are told that 'They're good at basic skills, they're good at it'
In other words, director Lim's guiding philosophy, which has been guiding children with a long-term perspective, is blossoming. It completes a team of the most ideal team color that combines skills and personality, and is opening an era of success as a leader.
Yongin Barun Little Baseball Team, which is getting stronger over time amid solid basic skills. What will happen in the new year.
