It is the rookie draft that attracts the attention of baseball fans every summer and autumn. a choice for the future of the club. In particular, prospects who will be nominated in the first round may be used immediately and have the potential to shake the league's game, so we can't help but wonder which player will wear which team uniform.
In particular, this year, two top pitching prospects are making a fuss. It's Jung Woo-ju of Jeonju High School and Jung Hyun-woo of Deoksu High School.
The two have completely different charms. Jung Woo-joo has the gift from heaven that he can easily throw a fastball in the mid-150km range with his right-hander. The first thing all baseball players see when picking a pitcher is by far the restraint. You can learn and practice control, breaking ball, and game management, but what you can throw quickly is because you are born with it.
On the contrary, Chung Hyeon-woo is a versatile left-hander. Analysts say he knows how to throw 150 kilometers of fastballs, has a variety of breaking balls, and has excellent game management capabilities.

In the reverse order of last season's performance, Kiwoom Heroes is holding the first overall nomination this year. In fact, Jung Woo-joo's trip to Kiwoom seemed almost certain. As mentioned above, when selecting a rookie player, we put our natural talent and potential to explode in the future first. Recently, however, the atmosphere has become strange. There are talks about the possibility of Chung Hyeon-woo's first place. With young pitchers growing, there may be a desire to properly set up a young starting lineup in line with Ahn Woo-jin's military. Some believe that Jung Woo-joo's ball is fast, but it is right to be used as a finishing touch due to his style.

The third is the Samsung Lions and the fourth is the Lotte Giants. Depending on what choices these two teams make, the choices of the teams behind them are also expected to fluctuate.
Summarizing the on-site scouting stories, the candidates for the third and fourth rankings have been narrowed down to some extent. Deoksu right-hander Kim Tae-hyung and Gwangju Jeil High School left-hander Kim Tae-hyun are the main characters. Although there are slightly different opinions than the first and second rankings, few scouts leave out their names. If you're not a KIA-class fielder, you usually look toward the pitcher first.

Of course, there are some variables in the 3rd and 4th rankings. Samsung, which lacks fielders, may choose Deoksu High School batter Park Joon-soon, or turn to Daegu High School left-hander fireballer Bae Chan-seung, who is based in the school. Then Lotte's choice can also be changed.
The last is the 13th Asian Youth Baseball Championship, which will be held in Taiwan early next month. All of the players mentioned above except Kim Tae-hyun are dispatched. And it is the last place for other first-round candidates to show off their skills. There is plenty of room to change the order of players who perform impressively here.
