The Ambaseball All-Star Game will be revived after a long time.
The Hanwha Eagles team announced on the 8th, “The Hanwha Eagles High School vs. College All-Star Game will be held on June 6 at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park.”
This high school and college all-star game is an event game jointly hosted by the Hanwha Eagles club and the Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA). Through this, it is of great significance in that promising players who will lead the future of Korean baseball gather in one place.
The Hanwha club said, “With the abolition of the first nomination and the implementation of the full draft, we were thinking about a plan to support amateur baseball without being limited to the hometown, and planned the high school vs. college all-star game. Under the full cooperation of KBSA and the Korea University Baseball Federation, we provided a stadium. All expenses, including transportation and lodging, will be borne by Hanwha.”
This is a meaningful move following the Hanwha club’s fairly big decision.
Through this, it is expected that it will be a good opportunity to watch the play of student players before advancing to the professional stage. Hanwha plans to make the high school vs. college all-star game a festival for all amateur baseball in the future.
Each team consists of 1 head coach, 3 coaches and 24 players. Each team’s command tower will be headed by national team coaches selected through the KBSA public contest. In other words, Chungam High School All-Star coach Lee Yeong-bok (U-18 national team coach), and college All-Star coach Jeong Bo-myeong (U-23 national team coach) of Dong-Eui University will serve as the command tower. There is no age or grade limit for the selection of players for this friendly game like the world competition, and the most excellent players suitable for the All-Star game will be listed on the list.

All selected players will participate in the game, and the pitcher’s pitches are limited to a maximum of 45 pitches per game. A total of 10 players, 5 players per team, will participate in the home run race held prior to the game. In fact, it is very similar to the pro baseball All-Star Game.

In addition, this All-Star Game will be held for the first time in 42 years since the High School Baseball All-Star Game held between 1979 and 1981. Ama Baseball Sarang Choi Hyeong-seok, cafe manager, said in an interview with this magazine, “The high school baseball All-Star Game was held from 1979 to 1981. At that time, stars from each school did not form an all-star team, but representative schools in each region The team was formed with a mix of graduates and graduates. The tournament was over in 3 innings, but Gyeongnam High School, with Choi Dong-won enduring the 1/2 tournament, won, and Incheon High School won the 3rd tournament. In the 3rd tournament, the Korean Series of the unemployment league was over. Choi Dong-won couldn’t join his alma mater because of this, so he couldn’t win the championship. However, in fact, this All-Star game became the catalyst for professional baseball that started in 1982,” he recalled at the time.
