The college all-star team beat the high school all-star team 3-1 in the third Hanwha Eagles high school and college all-star game in 2025 at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 2nd.
It was in the bottom of the fifth inning when the two teams were tying 0-0. Gyeongnam High School right-hander sidearm Shin Sang-yeon started when he walked Um Ji-min (Dongui University) after a full count with one out. Choi Yu-bin (Kyungseong University) attempted a surprise bunt, and third baseman Kim Gun-hwi (Chungam High School) failed to handle it all at once, so all the runners survived. Park Moon-soon got on base with a walk, and the mound was replaced by Dongsan High School and right-hander Shin Dong-gun. However, Ahn Jae-yeon (Korea University) called the third baseman home with a surprise bunt, followed by Kim Dong-hwi with a large triple over the left field height, wiping out the remaining runners, 3-0.
As a result, the college All-Star team won the high school All-Star team for the first time in the Hanwha Eagles' high school and college All-Star game. In the first inning of the competition, Jeon Da-min (Doosan Hyundai) tied the game 6-6 thanks to a tying triple in the bottom of the ninth inning during his time at Gangneung Yeongdong University. In the second inning of the competition, Jeon lost to the high school All-Star team, which is full of fastball pitchers who spray 150 kilometers per hour, 2-12, losing face to face. However, all but catcher Kim Min-beom was sent to the starting lineup as left-handed hitters and aggressively tried to bunt, before winning his first victory.
The MVP was awarded to Songwon University senior Kim Dong-hwi (25) who had one hit and two RBIs in four times at bat. "I really wanted to win this time, so I prepared for the game from the previous day (on the 1st). I'm so happy to win like this," Kim said after the game.
College team Kim Dong-hwi hits a two-run timely triple with two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the fifth inning of the third Hanwha Eagles Bae High School and College All-Star Game in 2025 at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon on the 2nd.
Solid pitching staff also stood out. Chung Tanton (22), Korea University's biggest player in this season, became the starting pitcher and led the team by allowing no runs on two walks and two strikeouts during the first ⅔ innings without hitting any hits, while Kim Sangbum Kim (1 inning), Yoon Seong-hwan (1 inning), Eo Yoon-seong (⅓ inning), Jung Ho-seong (1 inning), Kim Young-joon (⅔ inning), and Park Jung-min (1 ⅓ inning) kept the team scoreless. Lee Ho-jin allowed one run in ⅓ innings, but Seo Jun-oh kept the win by allowing no runs in the first ⅓ innings. In the batting line-up, Choi Yoo-bin of Kyungsung University played one hit and one walk from four times at bat, and each received the university's prestigious player award along with Jeong Ho-seong (Kyunghee University), who became the winning pitcher. Manager Son Dong-il of Wonkwang University, who won the victory with his agile operation play, was honored with the manager's award.
Among high school pitchers, Park Joon-hyun, a candidate for the first round of the KBO Rookie Draft this year, pitched in the ninth inning and pitched a fastball of up to 157 kilometers per hour, and pitched one walk, one strikeout, and one scoreless inning without hitting, drawing cheers from the crowd. Another No. 1 candidate, Seo Moon-joon (18, Jangchung High School) and Yang Woo-jin (18, Gyeonggi Aviation High School), also showed their presence by throwing fastballs up to 151 kilometers per hour and 150 kilometers, respectively. Park Ji-sung, who led Seoul High School to the E-Mart Cup championship this year, became a high school team's leading pitcher with good pitching by striking out all three out counts during one inning. Incheon High School infielder Kim Ji-seok came out as a designated hitter and hit hard with three hits in four at-bats.
In the home run race held before the start of the game, Yoo Shin-go infielder Shin Jae-in shot six in the preliminary round and five in the final round, beating the college team Um Ji-min (4 in the preliminary round and 4 in the final round). However, Um Ji-min also made a strong impression on KBO scouts by showing his strength to cross the Monster Wall twice, including an out-of-the-box shot, in the home run race.
