Bae Hyun-ho played an active part as the team’s central hitter in the ‘2023 Independent Baseball Team Gyeonggi-do League’ and recorded a batting average of 30.6 and 2 homers OPS of 0.910.
Bae Hyeon-ho, who played an active part in Yeoncheon Miracle’s cleanup trio, graduated from Gyeongbuk High School as a right-handed catcher and joined Nexen Heroes in the 2nd, 4th round, 38th place in the 2018 KBO Rookie Draft.
Recognized for his stable defense and batting ability, he was sent to Geelong Korea in 2019 and called up to the first team in 2022, and was evaluated as a promising catcher, but had to be released.
Bae Hyun-ho did not give up and built his body again, and joined Yeoncheon Miracle to prepare for his comeback. It is evaluated that ‘defensive power such as accurate second base throwing ability and blocking is stable, and the ability to produce long hits has improved by increasing power through weight training’. He also showed dedication to the team, playing catcher as well as first base defense due to team circumstances.
Yeoncheon County Mayor Kim Deok-hyeon said, “I sincerely congratulate Bae Hyeon-ho on his advancement to the pros. I will watch and cheer for him to be active in the pros with the people, so let’s see him on the stage of the first team in the KBO League.” I am grateful to Yeoncheon-gun for creating a field of opportunity.”
Bae Hyun-ho’s joining the KIA is more meaningful as he is the first player among the players participating in the ‘2023 KBO Dream Cup Independent Baseball Tournament Hoengseong’ to enter the KBO League, and is the 7th professional league player among the players participating in the ‘2023 Independent Baseball Team Gyeonggi-do League’ this season. The Gyeonggi Provincial League, an independent baseball team, proves that it is fulfilling its role as the ‘Korea’s only independent baseball league’.
Yeoncheon Miracle, which is based in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, is considered an exemplary case of win-win cooperation between local governments and independent baseball teams, such as winning the ‘2022 Independent Baseball Team Gyeonggi-do League’ and runner-up in the ‘2023 KBO Dream Cup Independent Baseball Championship’ based on the full support of Yeoncheon-gun. .
