70 players selected from all over the country, including Kim Dal-woo
Will participate, and will be divided into elementary and middle schools to play against the Okinawa national team.
The Korean Youth Baseball Federation started its first international exchange game in Matsuyama, Japan in 2013, and this time, the national team is 16. The Korean Youth Baseball Federation agreed to exchange and cooperation with the Okinawa Baseball Association and decided to send a national team.
Choi Seung-yong (Doosan Bears), Oh Sang-won (Kium Heroes), Kwon Dong-hyuk (LG Twins), and Park Ji-ho (Doosan Bears) are currently playing professional baseball after serving as the national team of the Korean league. In addition, Park Kun-woo (Choongam High School 2) and Im Jin-mook (Gyeonggi Commercial High School 2) are actively playing in high schools as the first candidates for next year's KBO rookie draft.
"The Korea Youth Baseball Federation aims to help young baseball players improve their skills and broaden their knowledge through overseas baseball games," said Kwon Oh-hyun, a coach for the Korean national team who will participate in the upcoming match. "I think it will be a great opportunity to experience various foreign cultures other than baseball in Okinawa, which is warm even in winter."
