Kim Jae-hwan (Doosan Bears), who is suffering from a slump in the second division following the first division, will return to the first division stage on the 22nd.
Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop met with reporters in Game 3 of the season against the KIA Tigers of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 20th and said, "We will see Kim Jae-hwan in the first team the day after tomorrow (22nd) as planned."온라인바카라
Prior to the 2025 season, Kim Jae-hwan was selected as the "strong second batter" rather than the fourth hitter of Doosan's batting lineup. After reporting his home run in the final exhibition game, he had a fresh start by hitting two hits and two RBIs in five times at bat, including a double against the Incheon SSG Landers, his first game of the season, but he suffered a severe slump of 0.242 in March and 13.6 in April. His long hit disappeared after a double against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on March 29.
In the end, Kim Jae-hwan was notified of his first 2nd military trip of the season on the 11th, leaving a batting average of .200 (11 hits in 55 at-bats) and one homer and six RBIs in 15 games. Manager Lee Seung-yeop explained at the time, "Kim Jae-hwan has to show his appearance as Kim Jae-hwan, but that hasn't come out yet. I will miss six out of 10 games due to the cancellation of the game next Tuesday and Wednesday." Doosan's three consecutive Changwon NC Dinos games were postponed from the 15th to the 17th due to the safety inspection of Changwon NC Park.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "I hope Kim Jae-hwan finds himself and comes back. If Kim Jae-hwan is out, the team will suffer a lot," adding, "Let's not create a situation where a left-handed pitcher can be out, and he can be out in the middle of a game. When I returned, I asked Kim Jae-hwan to play the rest of the game in his original form, asking him to think that no matter who comes out, he would play all the games."
Kim Jae-hwan played against SSG Landers in the Futures League the day after the expiration of the game, and had no hits and one strikeout in three at-bats. After a five-day break, he showed signs of rebounding with one hit and one run from three at-bats against the LG Twins on the 18th, but met LG on the 19th and was silent with no hits and two strikeouts from three at-bats. Kim Jae-hwan's Futures League performance is quite low with a batting average of 111.1 (one hit in nine at-bats) and a .111 on-base percentage.
Kim Jae-hwan, who was canceled on the 11th, spent 10 days in the second division until the 20th. As a result, registration for the first division will be possible from the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match on the 22nd, and Doosan initially planned Kim Jae-hwan's registration on the 22nd and sent him to Icheon. However, due to the unexpected slump in the Futures League, there was a question about the possibility of Kim Jae-hwan spending more time in the second division the day before, and manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "As of now, it is registered on the 22nd."
Kim Jae-hwan, who signed a four-year, 11.5 billion won mega-FA contract with Doosan in the 2022 season, is facing the preliminary FA season this year. After the first and second years of slump, he rebounded by hitting 29 home runs last year due to coach Lee Seung-yeop's special training in the closing camp and participation in Kang Jung-ho School in the U.S., but he is spending the early days of the difficult season again this year. Kim Jae-hwan was not satisfied with the revival and received expensive lessons from Kang Jung-ho for two consecutive years, but the effect does not appear to be significant.
