Coach Yoo Jae-shin (39) made his comeback to the Heroes. He will wear a burgundy uniform for the first time in nine years since he was active in the 2017 season. Now he is a coach, not a player.
The Kiwoom Heroes club announced on the afternoon of the 7th that it had recruited coach Yoo Jae-shin as the defense coach for the Futures team.
New coach Yoo Jae-shin made his professional debut in 2006 with a Hyundai Unicorns nomination in the second round of the rookie draft. From 2008 to 2017, he played for the Heroes.
On July 31, 2017, Yoo Jae-shin moved to the KIA Tigers through a trade with right-hander Kim Se-hyun. Left-hander Lee Seung-ho and left-hander Son Dong-wook joined the Heroes as opposite benefits. Since then, Yoo Jae-shin has continued his career with the KIA Tigers and retired from active duty at the end of the 2020 season.
Coach Yoo Jae-shin began his leadership career in 2021 by serving as defense and operational coach for the Futures team at Doosan Bears. Since then, he has served as a base coach for Doosan's first team and a base coach for the Futures team, and since 2024, he has served as a first-team outfielder and base coach for the Lotte Giants.
Meanwhile, coach Lee Soo-beom, a former Futures team defensive coach, resigned for personal reasons.
