SSG Landers (CEO Kim Jae-seop, hereinafter SSG) appointed Choo Shin-soo as the team's assistant manager on the 27th (Friday).

SSG paid attention to Choo Shin-soo's passion for baseball and career. In addition, he gave sincere advice to the team and the front desk for the development of the first and second teams, as well as an altruistic attitude to share his success experience and know-how in the Major League. With his leading leadership, he has strong trust in the team and excellent communication skills. Above all, Choo Shin-soo was appointed as an assistant to the owner of the team, judging that he could contribute to strengthening the team's power by utilizing the assets he has accumulated so far as he has a human network with various working-level officials such as U.S. Major League clubs, fronts, and coaches.




In addition, the club expects Choo Shin-soo to help grow by transplanting baseball DNA that has been successful in the Major League to Futures players, and strengthen the first-team depth by continuously finding promising players to contribute to SSG Landers' position as a strong team.

Choo Shin-soo, assistant manager of the team, is very excited to thank the team for its heavy responsibility of assisting the owner and nurturing the team, and to once again work together as a member of the Korean professional baseball development and SSG Landers with the KBO league's first title as an assistant to the owner, and to suggest a new direction.I will continue learning and research to successfully carry out the roles and challenges given to me.In addition, I will do my best to fulfill my role by actively expressing opinions on the management of the club's players as well as the bridge role of the first and second-tier squads" he expressed his ambition.
