Of course, I don't know now. However, the story can be different again when we enter the season. This is the story of the Doosan Bears, who recruited Park Chan-ho (31), a special shortstop in the 8 billion free agent (FA).
Doosan's team is currently sweating in Sydney, Australia, where the first spring camp is set up. The team consisted of 22 pitchers, 4 catchers, 10 infielders and 9 outfielders. The first spring camp will be held at Blacktown Ballpark in Sydney, Australia, until the 19th. In other words, there is about 15 days left.
Doosan, which built a dynasty in the late 2010s, received a disappointing report card last season. He ranked ninth with 61 wins, 6 draws and 77 losses. After the end of the season, Doosan gave Kim Won-hyung the new coach the baton. In addition, it has strengthened its leadership depth more than any other club by recruiting a large number of prestigious new coaches.
The FA contract was also successfully completed. In addition to external FA Park Chan-ho, internal FA resources such as Lee Young-ha, Choi Won-joon, and Cho Soo-ha were all pressed down.
In fact, not many people thought Doosan would recruit Park Chan-ho at the beginning of the FA market. That's because Doosan had more infield resources than any other club. However, the head coach's judgment was different. Coach Kim emphasized infinite competition from the final training, saying, "The skills of the fielders are similar."
Doosan surprised everyone by recruiting Park Chan-ho, an A-class shortstop who is more certain than anyone else. Coach Kim said of Park Chan-ho, "He's a proven player. He moved to the FA again. That's why I think the position of the main shortstop is natural. That's how much I think I have to go to the game. Injury management should also be done. "I think Park Chan-ho will also be responsible, so I think (Park) Chan-ho should go out a lot of games," he said.
Along with Park Chan-ho's deployment as the main shortstop, the rest of the infield is also drawing on its own. Right now, Doosan had eight infielders participating in the final camp of Miyazaki, Japan, after the end of the 2025 season. Lee Yoo-chan, Park Gye-beom, Park Joon-soon, Park Ji-hoon, Oh Myung-jin, Ahn Jae-seok, Im Jong-sung and Park Sung-jae worked hard to raise their skills further.
The main character who was actually chosen as the main character. It's Ahn Jae-seok. Coach Kim said, "With Park Chan-ho's decision to join, the movement of infielders began. "There may be some hurt in Ahn Jae-seok's heart, but I have no choice but to go in the direction the team wants, so I think I need to see the third baseman," he said. Ahn Jae-seok returned in August after being discharged from the military last year and played in 35 games in the 2025 season, hitting .319 with four home runs, 20 RBIs, 25 points, 2 steals (one failure), 11 walks, 27 strikeouts, and 0.911, on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS). In addition, you can draw a picture of third base supported by Im Jong-sung behind Ahn Jae-seok.
Park Chan-ho and Ahn Jae-seok will take the left side of the infield. Then there are seats left for the second baseman and the first baseman. First of all, Yang Seok-hwan, a "veteran," seems likely to be the main first baseman. When asked about the first base position, head coach Kim also said, "First of all, Yang Seok-hwan should only look at the first base, which is his original position." On top of that, Park Sung-jae and Kim Min-hyuk are also waiting as first base resources.
If so, what's left is second base. There are so many competitors. The head coach also admitted it. Coach Kim said, "I think there will be a lot of competition now at second base," and listed the names of "Park Joon-soon, Oh Myung-jin, Lee Yoo-chan, and Kang Seung-ho." In addition, Park Gye-beom and Park Ji-hoon can also play second base defense. If Park Chan-ho did not come, it would not be strange for anyone to fill the infield.
Of course, the thicker the player base, the better. However, if any of them hit firmly from the beginning of the season, chances are high that the opportunity to go to other fielders will decrease. There is something in common with the strong team that built the dynasty. He said he played without a big change in the lineup every game. Doosan was like that in the past, and LG was like that recently. For Doosan, it can be said that the best scenario is that someone sews the place perfectly without any major change.
First of all, head coach Kim said, "I think it's a positive sign because infielders who have become competitive can support it right away." At the same time, he added, "It would be great if the main characters were decided." If the head coach's wish comes true, there is a possibility that Doosan will seek a trade to try to "make way + strengthen power" during the season. If Doosan's weak position this season is picked, it can be said to be a left fielder. If Kim Jae-hwan leaves and no clear resources appear, he can try to strengthen his power through trade.
How will Doosan perform this season. Among them, watching Doosan's fierce infield position, where infinite competition is taking place, is also expected to be a big attraction.
