The 79th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship and the weekend league King of Kings (co-hosted by the Chosun Ilbo, Sports Chosun, and the Korea Baseball Softball Association) scheduled to be held at Mokdong Stadium and Shinwol Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd were postponed due to rain.
On the first day of the competition, games between Won High School and Dongsan High School, Kaesong High School and Cheongdam High School, TNP BA and Bae Myung High School were scheduled to be held at Mokdong Stadium.
However, the rainy front, which came up to the central part of the country, blocked the opening. Mok-dong and Shinwol Stadium, where the game is held, began to rain a lot from the night before due to the influence of the rainy front, and continued to rain this morning. He was in a lull for a while, so he waited until 9 a.m., the first game, but the rain became thicker. A large amount of rain has been predicted around the Seoul metropolitan area all day. In the end, considering the health and safety management of the players, the rainy season of the game was decided before 9:30 a.m.
All schedules from the first round to the round of 16 were pushed back by one day. The six games of the 12 teams, which were scheduled to be held at two stadiums on the 2nd, will be held at the same place on the 3rd. Until now, the schedule has been pushed back by a day, and the round of 16 will be held until July 11, and the quarterfinals will begin on July 12. The final will be held on July 16.
But the variable is monsoon rain. Last year, certain variables occurred several times at the same time as the rainy season in the central region, but this year, the rainy front moved northward, which disrupted the progress of the competition.
Meanwhile, Cheongryonggi is the best stage ahead of the professional rookie draft to the extent that it is called the 「The biggest fish festival for KBO League rookie draft」. This year, third-year big-time players, such as Chung Hyeon-woo, Kim Tae-hyung, and Park Jun-soon of Deoksu High School, Jung Woo-joo of Jeonju High School, Lee Dong-young of Daegu Sangwon High School, Kim Young-woo of Seoul High School, and Kim Tae-hyun of Gwangju Il High School, are drawing great attention. Among the second graders, Deoksu High School and Oh Si-hoo are expected to receive as much spotlight as their seniors.
