Park Sung-woong (27) and Park Moon-soon (23) were honored as the July Ulsan Whales Most Valuable Players (MVP).

The Ulsan Whales held the July monthly MVP award ceremony on the 16th at the lobby of Munsu Baseball Stadium, ahead of their home game against the Hanwha Eagles.

Kim Cheol-wook, Chairman of the Ulsan Metropolitan Sports Council and owner of the Ulsan Whales, attended the ceremony, personally presenting awards to players who contributed to the team's victories throughout July and conveying his encouragement.

At this event, Park Sung-woong was named the July Pitcher MVP and Park Moon-soon the July Position Player MVP. Each recipient received a prize of 300,000 won.

July Pitcher MVP Park Sung-woong appeared in three games in July, pitching 15 innings with an ERA of 1.20 and recording 10 strikeouts. Since the start of the season, Park has consistently served as the Ulsan Whales' fourth starting pitcher, maintaining a steady presence in the rotation among domestic starters. He has shouldered long innings based on his precise control, relieving pressure on the bullpen, and has also made appearances from the bullpen when needed, fulfilling his role on the mound according to team situations.

July Position Player MVP Park Moon-soon has served as a new source of energy for the team since joining the Ulsan Whales on March 29, following the season opener, leveraging his speed and precise contact ability. In July, Park appeared in 10 games, posting a batting average of 0.368 (22 at-bats, 19 hits) and an on-base percentage of 0.429. Notably, during the Ulsan Samsung game on July 15, he recorded two hits in four at-bats, including a go-ahead hit, making several decisive contributions in scoring positions.

Manager Jang Won-jin stated, "Both players have worked consistently from the start of the season in their respective roles, and we hope this award serves as good motivation." He added, "We expect both MVPs to gain confidence and deliver even better performances for the remainder of the season. We will do our utmost alongside the players to help the Ulsan Whales grow to the next level."
