Hanwha's 10 billion won FA player Kang Baek-ho generously supports rival team's junior player

Hanwha Eagles' high-profile free agent Kang Baek-ho is extending exceptional support to a junior player from a rival team, the Doosan Bears. Kang, who recently secured a 10 billion won (approximately $7.2 million) FA contract, has gifted a bat and provided specialized advice to Bears infielder Ahn Jae-seok.

Kang's encouragement to Ahn was direct: "You can also become an FA player worth 10 billion won like me someday!" This gesture highlights a unique camaraderie extending beyond team affiliations in the professional baseball league.

Ahn Jae-seok has recently seen a resurgence in his batting performance. In a game against the SSG Landers on July 9th, he started as the cleanup hitter and third baseman, contributing significantly with one hit (a home run), two RBIs, one run scored, and two walks in a 7-0 victory. This improved performance is partly credited to the dedicated coaching he has received from his senior, Kang Baek-ho.
