Yang Eui-ji (36), considered the best catcher in professional baseball, returned to her former team, the Doosan Bears, after four years. He showed enthusiasm, saying, “I want to play for Doosan until I am 45.” The Doosan club welcomed the homemaker’s return with a grand welcome ceremony.
Yang Eui-ji said at the initiation ceremony held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 11th, “When I was first nominated by Doosan, it was good just to come to the pro I dreamed of. However, I am more happy that the team where I worked for 13 years called me back with such good treatment.” “Above all, I am happy that my family likes it. I want to quickly show myself running in front of the fans.”
Yang Eui-ji, who joined Doosan in 2006, has grown into the best catcher with both offensive and defensive skills. In December 2018, when he obtained the first free agent (FA) qualification, he signed with NC for a total of 12.5 billion won for 4 years and changed his uniform for the first time. In particular, in 2020, he won the Korean Series Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) and led NC to the first integrated championship since its founding. Coincidentally, the opposing team we met in the Korean Series at the time was Doosan.
Yang Eui-ji said, “I don’t usually cry even when I win, but at that time, I had a lot of tears because I had a strange feeling. I thought I would never come back to Doosan because of that,” he said. When I went on an expedition, he came to the front of the hotel and told me the same story. I was able to make up my mind to come back because I gained strength from those words.”
Doosan signed a contract with Yang Eui-ji, who obtained FA status again, under the condition of giving up to 15.2 billion won (4+2 years). His unrivaled value was recognized with the largest contract ever in the KBO league (based on total amount). The Doosan club, which welcomed Yang Eui-ji back, is also in a festive mood. CEO Jeon Poong, general manager Kim Tae-ryong, and coach Lee Seung-yeop all attended the initiation ceremony and handed over congratulatory bouquets. Kim Jae-hwan and Heo Gyeong-min, who led the ‘Doosan Dynasty’ together in the past, also hugged Yang Eui-ji and shared joy.
Yang Eui-ji said, “Even before becoming a free agent, Doosan’s juniors said, ‘I wish we could work together again’, but this has become a reality. I have to work harder even for my colleagues who wanted me so much,” he said. “I will do my best to play as much fall baseball as possible during the remaining contract period.” 스포츠토토

Yang Eui-ji to make a U-turn to Doosan
Doosan advanced to the Korean Series for 7 consecutive years until 2021, but fell to 9th place last year. Still, Yang Eui-ji said, “Doosan is a team that can rebound at any time.” He said, “When I was in another team, Doosan was always a burdensome and difficult team to win. However, there were a lot of unsolved games last season. That’s why I saw a lot of self-confidence,” he said. Director Lee Seung-yeop is new, but I have more expectations than worries.”
When I was playing for Doosan, whenever Yang Eui-ji stepped into the plate, cheering songs such as “Blow a hit/Blow a home run/Doosan’s homemaker/Yang Eui-ji” rang out. Yang Eui-ji said, “That cheering song always lingered in my ears. If that cheering song comes out again in the first at-bat (this season), I think I’ll get goosebumps.” He promised that he will show you how to work harder in the future.”
