According to Chungbuk National University of Science and Technology on the 14th, the university baseball team will consist of one manager, three coaches and trainers, and 20 to 25 players. The team is in the process of recruiting players with the goal of establishing a team in December.
If Chungbuk National University of Science and Technology establishes a baseball team, it will be the second university in the province to create a baseball team. Yeongdong Yuwon University is the only baseball team running among four-year universities and junior colleges in the province.
The idea is to establish a baseball sports team, a popular sport, to increase the value of the school brand as well as to integrate school members including current students. The plan is to establish a system to foster professional players and participate in the university baseball U-League.
The athletes' training ground is in consultation with Cheongju City to temporarily utilize domestic sports facilities. It plans to build a baseball stadium on the university's land by 2024.
A university official said, "When the baseball team is established, the school's brand value will increase and it will have a good impact on attracting new students," adding, "We are seeking to recruit players with the aim of establishing a baseball team as early as December or January next year."
