Along with the awards ceremony, the tournament also featured dune bashing and a sitar ceremony. Lee Ha-joon (catcher), the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the elementary division, and Kim Hyun-jae (pitcher and shortstop), the MVP of the Little Division, were in charge of the ceremony. “I’m really happy to be able to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at my favorite team, Doosan,” said Lee, “and I dream of becoming a catcher who represents Korea like Yang Ji.”
“Thank you for creating unforgettable memories for me,” said Kim, “I want to grow up to be a great pitcher like Kwak Bin.”
Doosan has been committed to the development of grassroots baseball since 1986, when it held its first children’s baseball tournament.
