The free agent market has opened. Eom Sang-baek (28) is considered one of the biggest fish stocks for starting pitchers. It is no exaggeration to say that all the teams want to start. I am worried that the KT players will leave 메이저사이트

The national team has been called up ahead of the 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12. There are also KT players. Four players came. They are Ko Young-pyo and Um Sang-baek, Cho Hyung-joon and Park Young-hyun. And as the FA market opened during the training session, Um's status changed.

When I met him at Gocheok, Park said, "Sangbaek? You can't go anywhere else. You can't go anywhere else." This is not something Park can decide. However, he expressed his desire to play together.

The same goes for Cho. "It would be great if Sang-baek remains in the team. I haven't talked about anything in particular," Cho said. "I'm worried because I think I'll be in another team. What should I do? Maybe I should say goodbye to the national team."

Eom Sang-baek was the first nominee of KT in 2015. He was a big prospect and played 100 innings in the first team in his first season as a pitcher. He is a side-arm pitcher who throws fastballs. He had high expectations. Since his visit to Sangmu, Eom has burst into laughter.

He went 11-2 with a 2.95 ERA in 2022. He also went 7-6 with a 3.63 ERA in 2023. He went on to record 156.2 innings, 13-10 with a 4.88 ERA in 29 games in 2024. He ate regular innings for the first time since his debut, and returned to the 10-win pitcher lineup.

After finishing the season, he became a free agent. Starting pitchers are becoming more and more rare in the soccer leagues. Some teams seek four to five starting pitchers throughout the season. Of course, Um Sang-baek is an attractive card. Born in 1996, he is in his 20s in 2025.

Any team can recruit players. The same applies to KT. Any team that "doesn't make up its mind" and runs into KT will also face growing difficulties. KT is considered one of the best teams in history that does not overpay.

There is another reason why KT players feel anxious. Recently, KT made a one-on-one trade with SSG. It sent Kim Min and received Oh Won-seok. Oh Won-seok is a starting pitcher. I wonder if he is preparing for Um Sang-baek's departure.

Now the market is open. Nothing can be guaranteed, anything can happen. Which team will Um Sang-baek wear in the 2025 season.
