Kim Dong-yeop (35), a "big shot" who recorded 92 home runs in the KBO League, will continue his dream of extending his active career by wearing an Ulsan Wales uniform after additional tests.

The Ulsan Wales club announced on the 6th, "As a result of the second additional test conducted for three days from February 3, six successful candidates have been selected, including pitchers Park Sung-woong (27), Choi Si-hyuk (25), infielders Jeon Kwang-jin (25), Kim Sung-kyun (24), outfielder Kim Dong-yeop (35), and Ye Jin-won (26).

According to the Ulsan club, a total of 20 players participated in the test and competed fiercely, and after in-depth discussions by the coaches, six players, including Kim Dong-yeop, were notified of the final pass.

Kim Dong-yup is by far the most prominent name on the list of successful applicants. Having commanded the league with a powerful swing, he has been hampered by injuries in recent years, leaving a regret. However, in this additional test, he captured the hearts of the coaches by proving his physical condition made by thorough self-management.

Immediately after passing the pass, Kim Dong-yeop confessed his feelings through the club, saying, "I was so sorry to retire without performing all my skills due to injuries." "I'm in a very good condition now, so I'm full of confidence. I'm sure I'll be able to perform well enough. I sincerely thank the Ulsan Wales club for giving me a chance to play again," he said.

Along with Kim Dong-yeop, Ye Jin-won (26), a promising former Kiwoom Heroes and KIA Tigers, will join the outfield to reinforce mobility and defense. Pitchers Park Sung-woong (27) and Choi Si-hyuk (25) were on the mound, and Jeon Kwang-jin (25) and Kim Sung-kyun (24) were on the list of successful candidates in the infield.

The catcher's team continues to struggle until the end. Kang Min-sung (24) and Song Hyun-joon (22) will join the team's training and undergo additional performance checks, and only the final one will be selected. As a result, Ulsan Wales will virtually complete the formation of a domestic team excluding foreign players.

Ulsan Wales coach Jang Won-jin said, "The formation of the squad is almost complete now. He expressed satisfaction, saying, "The players made their bodies well through individual training, and the coaches were deeply concerned." He also emphasized, "Now, we will repay the enthusiastic support of Ulsan citizens by increasing the team's power through off-season training."

Those who passed the second round will officially join the team from the 7th, and the foreign team is also planning to join next week's off-season training schedule. Baseball fans are paying attention to what kind of sensation Ulsan Wales, which added weight with the addition of "92 home run big guns" Kim Dong-yeop, will make in its first season.
