[단독] 드디어 베일 벗었다! '야구여왕2' 7월 9일 첫방, 추신수가 직접 뽑은 신입 5인 | 스포츠 비하인드

On Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 10 PM, Channel A’s sports variety show "Baseball Queen" Season 2 will finally kick off its grand journey. The Black Queens, who delivered touching moments last season by showcasing their "growth," have returned this season with completely revamped skills and overwhelming momentum, raising fans' expectations to the highest level. The most significant feature of this season is the thorough restructuring of the team's roster based on skill. With the addition of five new members selected through rigorous testing from a massive pool of 308 applicants, the Black Queens have meticulously addressed the weaknesses exposed last season. In particular, the team is comprised of a large number of talented players capable of filling the team's gaps in various fields—including a pitching prospect who recorded a fastball speed of 110 km/h, as well as experts in defense, slugging power, and base-running sense—heralding a world of fierce competition that transcends mere entertainment. True to his status as a veteran former Major Leaguer, Manager Choo Shin-soo focused on fundamentals rather than flashiness, leading the team's fundamental transformation by meticulously checking everything from pitching balance and batting concentration to post-error attitudes. Members who showed potential last season—such as Song Ga, Ayaka, Kim Sung-hyun, Park Ha-yan, and Lee Su-hyun—have also undergone arduous efforts during the offseason to establish themselves as definite key players in their respective positions, including pitcher, third baseman, and outfielder. With Captain Kim Na expressing the bold ambition of an "undefeated record," the increasingly fierce competition for survival within the team has transformed the Black Queens from the protagonists of a simple growth drama into a "baseball team striving for victory." With General Manager Park Se-ri serving as a spiritual pillar and the systematic guidance of Manager Choo Shin-soo and Coaches Yoon Suk-min and Lee Dae-hyung coming together this season, check out the video now to see if the Black Queens can prove themselves as a competitive team beyond mere entertainment!
