Professional baseball SSG Landers announced on the 6th that it has completed salary contracts with all 45 players eligible for renewal for the 2025 season.
Starting shortstop Park Seong-han signed an annual salary of 370 million won, a 70 million won (23.3%) increase from his previous salary of 300 million won. Park Seong-han played in 137 games last year, recording a batting average of 0.301, 10 home runs, and 67 RBIs, hitting double-digit home runs for the first time in his professional debut.

It is the club’s highest increase rate record for the 2025 season, along with the first individual’s annual salary entering the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Byung-Hyun Cho appeared in 76 games last season and recorded 4 wins, 6 losses, 12 holds, 12 saves, and an ERA of 3.58. In the second half of the season, he served as the team’s closing pitcher and guarded the back gate.

After signing the contract, Park Seong-han said, “I would like to thank the club, manager, and coaches who helped me in many ways last season. I think last year’s season was another motivating year for me. “I will do my best to maintain what went well last year and improve what was lacking to show a better performance this season,” he said.
