The Keystone duo of the Doosan Bears in the 2025 season is undecided until the end of the exhibition game. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop declared an infinite competition to find a new starting member for the shortstop and second baseman position. Young infielders will likely have strong morale starting from the spring camp to the exhibition game.먹튀검증
Among young infielders, there is a name that attracts the most attention in the field. It is infielder Oh Myung-jin. On-field officials often refer to Choi Joo-hwan (Kium Heroes), who played in past teams, over Oh. Analysts say Oh is born with at least one batting talent.
Oh has been an infield resource that has drawn attention in the spring camp of the first team ahead of the 2024 season. However, Oh did not have as many chances to play in the first team as expected. Oh only tasted the first team stages in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, and only played in two games in the 2024 season.
"I collapsed a lot in the first half of last year. I was impatient and gave too much meaning to small things," Oh said at the recent Black Town camp in Australia. "I recovered a little in the second half, but I couldn't get a chance to play in the first team. I learned a lot this year, so I am spending this camp more effectively."
Oh Myung-jin is considered one of the players whose eyes have changed the most since Huh Kyung-min moved to the FA last fall. "He was a great senior who took good care of me, but I think I changed my eyes the most because I had an opportunity to become a starting player," Oh said. "I played baseball while looking for the starting position, and the Doosan Bears' starting infielder has a unique meaning. That's why I want to take that position more and I am confident."
During the Australian camp, Oh mostly trained as a second baseman along with his junior teammates Yeo Dong-gun and Park Joon-soon. "There are a lot of second baseman's defense, but we also play shortstop from time to time," Oh said. "I'm confident in both second and shortstop, but I think second basemen would be more appropriate to enhance their strength in offense," Oh said. "Since he hit 20 home runs in Jamsil, I want to continue his image as a good second baseman."
Just like his confidence, Oh's batting mechanism is so outstanding that the coaching staff does not touch it at all. "Both the coach and the coach are telling us to pay attention to hitting at the exact point because there is no problem with our batting form," Oh said. "Personally, I think we are ready for batting form. We should practice hitting at a better point in actual matches."
Oh also has a unique goal for his team, who is aiming to become the main second baseman. They are not individual goals but also goals together. He aims to win the Best Keystone Couple Award at the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association award ceremony at the end of 2025.
"My goal with (Lee) Yoo-chan is to win the Best Keystone Couple Award. Yoo-chan and I decided to win the award ourselves," Oh said. "We also talked about making a heart pose together." "Of course, the first thing to do is to win the competition for the main second baseman. Fighting with yourself is more important than caring about other players. I have confidence that if I get a chance, I can win no matter what," Oh said.
Now is the time for Doosan to have a superstar representing the league beyond the young starting fielders. Oh has expressed his desire to play as big as Kim Do-young (KIA Tigers) and Lee Jae-hyun (Samsung Lions).
Oh Myung-jin said, "I feel like I've personally settled down a little, but I want to show you that what I learned last year was not in vain. I haven't seen many pitchers' balls yet, but I'm confident that I'll do well if I get a chance to play in a real game. I'll definitely settle down this year and grow into a player who represents the league like Kim Do-young and Lee Jae-hyun as well as Doosan Bears."
