It is rumored that rookies are also showing enthusiasm at Doosan Bears' Sydney spring camp in Australia. In particular, the team is united under the advice of the seniors.

There is a pitcher who worked with Yang Eui-ji, Doosan's veteran homeowner, for the first time in his life. It is Seo Jun-oh (third round). Seo Jun-oh pitched his fourth bullpen session on the 4th, and it was Yang Eui-ji, a "grand senior," who worked with the battery on the day.

According to Doosan officials, Yang Eui-ji boosted Seo Jun-oh's confidence, saying, "The ball is good" between pitches. When the scheduled 40-pitch pitch was over, Yang Eui-ji said, "There are times when fastball and breaking ball pitches are obvious. He also gave feedback, saying, "I think it will be okay if I be careful about that part."

Seo Jun-oh said through the club, "I worked with (Yang) Ji for the first time, and it was hectic (laughs). It is regrettable that he could not throw a better ball because he did not like his condition very much. In the future, I want to continue to listen to the advice of the catcher seniors, including (Yang) Eui-ji, and become a player who compensates for the shortcomings," he said.

Doosan's other 2026 rookie outfielder Kim Joo-oh (first round) exposed the habit of his hind legs collapsing early in the camp. An Jae-seok, a senior infielder who was suffering from the same concern, advised on the points he was paying attention to.

Ahn Jae-seok said, "I'm also in the stage of learning from many seniors. If juniors experience the concerns I have, it is right to tell them what I have learned. If we improve our weaknesses like that, the whole team will be strong," he said.

Kim Joo-oh said, "I'm hearing about the know-how and experience of several seniors in batting and defense. This camp is a big opportunity for me. I want to learn a lot from my seniors and use it as an opportunity to grow as a baseball player to become a better player," he said.

They are Doosan seniors who do not forget their mental advice regardless of their position. "You're a rookie anyway," fielder Park Ji-hoon told pitcher Choi Joo-hyung (second round). I have nothing to lose. "Just think of showing what you have in Australia with confidence without regret," he said.

Choi Joo-hyung said, "I'm voluntarily camping. However, I was thinking that this shouldn't lead to an overwork, but thanks to (Park) Ji-hoon's advice, he became confident and clearly set the direction. I will do it without regret," he promised.

Coaching staff under head coach Kim Won-hyung are working hard to improve their skills by marking the players closely. At the same time, it is evaluated that the advice felt by the seniors who play together is added to create synergy.

An official from Doosan explained, "A natural mentoring atmosphere is being formed as feedback between seniors and juniors is actively progressing apart from coaching staff."
