SSG Landers' Choo Shin-soo (44), assistant manager of the team, has expanded his social contribution since his U.S. Major League days to support Korean women's baseball for the opening of the 2026 season.

The SSG club said on the 30th, "Choo Shin-soo, the assistant manager of the team, held a donation and supplies delivery ceremony to expand the base of Korean women's baseball for the opening of 2026."

The fund is the result of a campaign jointly planned with Bithumb, a virtual asset exchange, to commemorate the retirement ceremony of Choo Shin-soo's aide last year. Bithumb's new and existing members participated in the challenge, and donated items worth 40 million won were prepared.

The donation destination was selected by the Korean Women's Baseball Federation (WBAK) and Cheonan Junior Women's Baseball Team, the only women's baseball youth club in Korea. The SSG club said, "We have decided to support about 7,500 baseballs to provide practical help to the women's baseball field, which has relatively poor support."

Choo Shin-soo, an assistant, said, "I deeply felt the dedication of female baseball players who are silently developing their dreams for baseball with more passion than anyone else," adding, "Thanks to Bithumb and fans' collection of hearts, I was able to help young players, the future of women's baseball. I hope this support will be a small grain of wheat to expand the base of women's baseball, and I hope that many people will continue to be interested in and support women's baseball," he said.

Kim Ra-kyung, a representative of women's baseball who participated in the event together, said, "The warm interest of professional clubs and seniors is a great motivation for women's baseball players above all else," adding, "We will train harder with the precious equipment you sent us and repay you with good results."

Meanwhile, assistant Choo Shin-soo is using his experience in the Major League as an asset to increase the team's competitiveness both inside and outside the stadium. Recently, at the suggestion of the Houston club in the U.S., they held advanced baseball exchanges in the spring camp. It is leading the practical improvement of the system, including the transfer of practical know-how and the advancement of the development system for the Futures team players.
