'Strongest Baseball 2025' has finalized its player roster.
The player roster for JTBC's entertainment program 'Strongest Baseball 2025', which is set to premiere in September, has been revealed.
'Strongest Baseball' is an entertainment program where retired professional baseball players form a team and challenge baseball once again. A new roster has been assembled for the new season.
Led by the previously announced manager Lee Jong-beom, the roster includes Hanwha Eagles franchise star Kim Tae-kyun, the first pitcher to win four titles in the 21st century Yoon Seok-min, 'the strongest lead-off in the country' Lee Dae-hyung, and Na Ji-wan, the only player in KBO history to hit a walk-off home run in Game 7 of the Korean Series.
The pitching staff is highlighted by Shim Soo-chang, KIA's ace and untouchable Yoon Seok-min, Yoon Gil-hyun who led the SK Wyverns dynasty, Yoon Hee-sang, Kwon Hyuk who has six championship rings, Lee Hyun-seung who led the Doosan Bears to two consecutive Korean Series championships as a closer, Oh Joo-won, a left-handed all-rounder and the last Rookie of the Year from Hyundai Unicorns, Oh Hyun-taek, the league's hold king, and Moon Sung-hyun, a one-club man from Kiwoom Heroes, all of whom have impressive careers.
The batting lineup is also impressive. It includes Kim Tae-kyun, the heart of the Hanwha Eagles, multi-player Na Ju-hwan, Yoon Seok-min who played as a cleanup hitter for Doosan, Nexen, and kt, the unfortunate genius shortstop Lee Hak-joo, and Kang Min-guk, the first overall pick from NC Dinos, forming the infield.
Additionally, the outfield features LG Twins' last stolen base king Lee Dae-hyung, the walk-off specialist Na Ji-wan, power hitter Choi Jin-haeng, and the tenacious icon Jo Yong-ho, who announced his retirement last year.
Joining the catcher position is Heo Do-hwan, who retired from LG last year and holds three championship rings from the three major telecommunications companies.
The production team of 'Strongest Baseball 2025' stated, "We were deeply impressed by the fact that retired players who had played in the KBO League still hold a longing for baseball and a strong desire to compete," and added, "Please look forward to seeing them challenge once again on the field."
