Choi Won-ho, a former baseball player and former Hanwha Eagles coach, will hold the microphone again. SBS Sports reported on the 23rd that `Former head coach Choi Won-ho returns as a commentator.'

Former head coach Choi Won-ho was considered one of the best commentators before taking the helm of Hanwha. He was praised for his in-depth commentary in a stable tone as he served as SBS Sports' broadcast for five years from 2015 to 2019.

As a pitcher, he has abundant field experience and at the same time provides objective and balanced commentary with a solid baseball view based on extensive theoretical knowledge through his studies.

Even after retiring from active duty, he has always continued new research and challenges by obtaining a doctorate in kinematics, teaching at universities, and establishing a pitching research institute.

Former head coach Choi Won-ho has been the head coach of Hanwha Eagles Futures since 2020 and gained field experience by communicating with promising players. In June 2020, he filled the vacancy of former coach Han Yong-deok as acting first-team coach and led the team until the end of the season.

Afterwards, Choi, who was coaching the players at Futures again, replaced Subero as Hanwha Eagles head coach in May 2023. He laid the foundation for Hanwha's leap forward by recording 100 league wins as a manager.

His commitment is to unleash his field experience as a player and a leader to professional baseball fans on a solid theoretical basis. Commentator Choi Won-ho, who is holding the microphone again, said "There are many new things I learned from seeing, hearing, and experiencing in the field over the past five years. I want to convey those things to the viewers well", he expressed his feelings about returning.

SBS Sports, joined by commentator Choi Won-ho, will present a baseball broadcast of all three colors of personality with commentators Lee Soon-cheol and Lee Taek-geun.
