“I don’t feel like a real high school student.”

The SSG Landers’ final camp in Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The 2025 rookies included first-round pick Lee Yul-ye, second-round pitcher Shin Ji-hwan, fourth-round pitcher Cheon Bum-seok, and fifth-round outfielder Lee Won-jun. While Lee had to return home due to an unfortunate injury, the other three rookies are getting a taste of the pros.

Every day, from morning to evening, they train like hell, moving their bodies without a break. Even the athletes who are in good physical shape say, “It’s really too hard.” However, there is one player who is the most vocal during the training. It’s rookie Lee Yul-ye.

He is a highly anticipated rookie who has been the main catcher, key hitter, and youth national team player for Gangneung High School. He’s a “student athlete” who hasn’t even graduated from high school yet, but he sets the tone in training with his loud, booming voice. “He doesn’t look like a real rookie,” the coaching staff and club staff said. He looks like he’s been with the team for years,” they teased, but secretly, they were happy to see such a bright and energetic newcomer.

“When I came here, I thought I would just pretend to be crazy to make them timid, and if I thought it was too much, I would tone it down a bit. Luckily, everyone looks at me well,” he laughs.

He was confident in his physical strength because he came from Gangneung High School

He was confident in his physical strength because he came from Gangneung High School, where he trained a lot, but the effect of the hell training was stronger than he expected. Lee Yul-ye, who was saying “it’s doable” until a few days ago, 카지노사이트 admitted that it was “hard” just a few days ago.

“High school training is longer in terms of time. But at school, we do repetitive training, whereas here, we do everything in a shorter period of time with no breaks. I think it’s harder because I’m a rookie and I’m nervous,” he said, adding, ”Every night, I just crawl around. Lee want to wash up, write in my journal, look at my phone, but I can’t. I wake up at 7:00 every day and try to go to bed around 11:00 at night. If I don’t sleep, I can’t recover. At the beginning of the camp, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, but after a few days, I realized that it wasn’t. From the second turn, I couldn’t even go outside on my days off.” The ‘Energizer’ rookie was also knocked down by the intense training.

Senior Shin Bum-soo and Cho Hyung-woo, who are also in the camp, are taking care of Lee Yul-ye. “I talk to my brothers a lot, and they take care of me so well. I’ve gotten so much from them. They take care of me to the point where I wonder if I deserve this much. I’m really grateful to my brothers for saying, ‘As much as you got from us, when you become a senior, buy the juniors some more,’” he said.

After receiving his rookie designation, he traveled to SSG Landersfield with his teammates in September to greet the fans for the first time.

It was a strange feeling.

“When I was a sophomore, I played the E-Mart Varsity Finals at Landers Field, but the feeling was very different from then. Now that I’m a member of this team, I have to do well. “I don’t know when I will be called up, but my biggest goal is to prepare well and make the first team roster. It could be next year, it could be the year after, but I want to take advantage of the opportunity as much as possible to play games, gain experience and definitely become a starter. I want to play as many games as possible at Landers Field before going to Cheongna Dome,” he said.
