Hanwha, looking beyond its home turf, partnered with the KBSA to launch the All-Star Game, which has been a hit for three straight years.<\/p>\n<p> Living up to its &#8220;Game of the Dream&#8221; slogan, the event has earned praise for fostering amateur baseball growth and player exchanges, offering a platform of hope for aspiring athletes.<\/p>\n<p> The game&#8217;s impact is clear: 80% of participants (107 out of 133) over the past three years have gone pro. It&#8217;s also shining a spotlight on college talent, with more players landing developmental contracts with pro teams.<\/p>\n<p> KBSA President Yang expressed his gratitude: &#8220;We&#8217;re thankful for Hanwha&#8217;s genuine support of amateur baseball. We hope this partnership motivates young players and strengthens the grassroots of Korean baseball. The KBSA is committed to making this tournament a lasting tradition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Hanwha CEO Park added, &#8220;We&#8217;re grateful to the KBSA for helping us host this significant event. Hanwha remains dedicated to nurturing amateur baseball as the foundation of the pro league.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today, Reporter Shin Seo-young <span><font
