Sangmu Phoenix (Korean: 상무 피닉스 야구단) is a South Korean professional baseball team founded in 1953. The team is part of the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps, and they play in the KBO Futures League. Their home stadium is Sangmu Baseball Stadium located in Mungyeong.
Many professional players who are serving compulsory military service play for the Phoenix, usually for a term of two seasons.[1] The team is not affiliated with any single KBO League team, but over its history has had a number of players from the Doosan Bears franchise.
