Chang Tae-yoon (15), catcher of Cheongnyang Middle School, was selected as the best player in Group A.

Jang made four hits and five RBIs from 12 times at bat. Jang decided to become a baseball player after going to a professional baseball stadium with his parents when he was in second grade of elementary school. Confident in physique, Jang is the fourth batter. "I want to become a batter who I can expect to hit long and one-handed hits," Jang said. "I am working hard to gain strength through weight training and one-handed batting training." "This is the first time I hit a home run during the off-season training in Taiwan. I want to become a big hitter like Noh Si-hwan of the Hanwha Eagles who became the home run king in Korea last year," Jang said. Hwang Hyun-seo (Cheonanbuk Middle School) was selected as the best batter in Group A, and Lee Seung-woo (Cheongnyang Middle School) was selected as the best pitcher.

In Group B, Lee Won-woo (Jeonju SBC, 15), who is also a catcher, was selected as the most valuable player.

Lee won the individual award for the first time since he started playing baseball. "When I was a third grader in elementary school, I decided to become a baseball player when I saw my cousin who was three years older than me," Lee said. "I want to become a catcher with excellent pitch and sophisticated batting ability." "There is no player I like," Lee said. "I want to become a star that many fans can recognize when I call him 'Lee Won-woo'." "I want to hit like Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers), Yang Eui-ji (Dusan) in defense, and Son Seong-bin (Lotte). After graduating from high school, I want to go to KIA, my local professional team, and finally advance to the Major League," Lee said with a smile. An Ye-chan (Jeonju SBC) was selected as the best hitter in Group B, and Kim Min-sung (Dongsan Middle School) was selected as the best pitcher.

Shin Sang-min, chairman of the Korea Youth Club Baseball Association, said, "Most of the teams participated in the first competition last year, and the level of newly joined teams has improved. I thank Inje-gun for its careful consideration, including providing a good training environment." "Nearly 500 players and their parents, 1,200 people visited Inje-gun," Shin said. "Of the 13 teams, 11 stayed in Inje-gun for more than five days. I am just grateful for the high satisfaction of leaders, parents, and student players."
