Choo Shin-soo (44), advisor and head of development for SSG Landers, positioned himself as a steadfast supporter for independent league players sweating it out on their path to the professional stage.

On this day, SSG Landers announced that it will hold an exchange game between its development squad (third division) and the Independent League All-Star representative team from the 23rd onward, aiming to enhance its development system and foster symbiotic growth within the Korean baseball ecosystem.

According to SSG Landers, a special gift will be delivered at the venue today. Choo Shin-soo, head of development, decided to personally support 150 portions of snacks (iced coffee) to encourage independent league players who are quietly challenging themselves with the goal of advancing to professional baseball.

Advisor Choo made this decision after deeply empathizing with the passion and challenges of independent league players who run the field with earnest hearts. This act of mutual growth views the independent leagues not merely as practice opponents, but as partners in cultivating the Korean baseball ecosystem together.

Choo Shin-soo, advisor, said, "As players grow amidst fierce and diverse competitive environments, this exchange game offers an optimal opportunity for our development squad players to gain new stimulation and experience real-game situations. We are well aware of how desperately independent league players strive for the sake of baseball. We hope this stage becomes a stepping stone for growth for our players and a meaningful, regret-free occasion for independent league players," conveying his message of encouragement.

This exchange game was organized to provide continuous real-game opportunities to SSG's development squad (third division) players, who were fully introduced this season, thereby enhancing their game sense and accelerating their growth rate. SSG plans to comprehensively evaluate the skills, growth potential, mental strength, and attitudes of both pitching and hitting lineups through a schedule of consecutive games, rather than treating it as a one-off event, regardless of win or loss.

The opposing team, the 'Independent League All-Star Representative Team,' was selected under the auspices of the Gyeonggi-do Baseball Association and is composed of 30 top players from various clubs, led by head coach Yang Seung-ho.

Originally, the exchange games were scheduled for a total of six games starting August 6, but three games were canceled due to extreme heat. Accordingly, SSG will first play the three games originally scheduled from the 23rd and plans to add the canceled matches in September to help players maintain their game readiness.

An SSG Landers official stated, "Moving forward, we will actively explore various measures to not only enhance our club's development system but also lead the expansion of baseball's base in Korea and foster symbiotic growth."
