The Doosan Bears Futures team will head to Miyakojima, Japan, a training camp site, through Incheon International Airport on the 10th.

The number of camp personnel is a total of 40 including eight coaching staff, including coach Toru Nimura, and 32 players.

The team consisted of 14 pitchers such as Park Jung-soo and Choi Joon-ho, three catchers such as Park Min-joon, eight infielders such as Kim Min-hyuk, and seven outfielders such as Jeon Da-min. Among the rookie players in 2026, six players, including outfielder Shin Woo-yeol and pitcher Lee Ju-ho, were included.

On the 11th, the first day of training, officials from Miyako City Hall and Tourism Association will visit Irabu Stadium to hold a welcoming ceremony.

The team will build up its body through technical training and weight training at the beginning of the camp and then play practice games with local teams in Japan, including Ritsho University, from the middle of the camp. The return date is March 10.

The most noticeable name on Doosan's Futures Camp list is Kim Yoo-sung (24), who is also called the future of Doosan's starters.

Kim Yoo-sung, who graduated from Gimhae Samsung Elementary School, Naedong Middle School and Kim Bo-sun, joined the Doosan Bears as the 19th overall pick in the second round of the 2023 rookie draft. He was attending Korea University at the time, but he wore a Doosan uniform through early draft. The down payment for joining the team is 150 million won. Kim Yoo-sung, who boasts a strong physique of 190 centimeters and 98 kilograms, has high expectations as a promising player.

However, he has not clearly made such an impression in the last three seasons. In the 2023 season, he recorded a 9.95 ERA in seven games, and in the 2024 season, he pitched in 17 games and posted a 1-2 record and 6.43 ERA. And in the 2025 season, Kim Yoo-sung played in seven games and recorded two losses and an 8.83 ERA without winning.

Kim Yu-sung's biggest weapon is a heavy fastball. Cook the batters based on a fastball over 150km. Of course, there have been quite a few times when I struggled with my shaky control in this process. Kim Yoo-sung, who met at the Miyazaki Finishing Camp in Japan last year, said, "All the young pitchers on our team throw really well. I want to try it if I can. "I'll try hard," he said. "First of all, I'm so sorry for the team because the 2025 season is worse than I thought. I will do better in 2026 and become a player who can come up to the first team and show good performance," he said.
