Doosan Bears right-hander Kim Taek-yeon (19) is the strongest candidate for the KBO League Rookie of the Year at this point. High school rookie starts with a mid-game and finishes to protect the team's victory. Even if it is assigned according to team circumstances, it is a decision that is possible because the ball power is good, not like a high school rookie pitcher. The fastball that surprised the opponent's fourth batter, Hotaka Yamakawa, in a practice game against the Japanese professional baseball Softbank Hawks during the spring camp is powerful. Yamakawa has hit 28 home runs this season, ranking first in both leagues.

He played 53 games and maintained 16 saves (3 wins, 2 losses, 4 holds) and an ERA of 2.25.1, but recently slowed down and rose to the two-point level. Kim Taek-yeon took the mound in the ninth inning against the Hanwha Eagles on the 24th and allowed two runs in ⅓ innings. He was replaced at 6-4 and allowed a 6-6 tie.

Kim Taek-yeon made her 16th save against the Samsung Lions on the 21st, setting the record for the most saves by a high school graduate. Just add one save and rewrite history.

The Japanese professional baseball Pacific League is also a likely candidate for the Rookie of the Year award. Left-hander Natsuki Takeuchi (23) of the Seibu Lions is the main character.

After graduating from Kokugakuin University (Korean Studies University), he wore a Seibu uniform as a rookie in 2024. Not only Seibu, but also Softbank Hawks and Yakult Swallows named him one. The team was decided as Seibu by lottery. He was an infielder and turned into a pitcher in his second year of high school.

As the first designated player, he showed his presence from his first year. He prepared for the first-team spring camp and opened the season in the first-team. In his first appearance against the Orix Buffaloes, his fifth game in the opening game, he won by pitching seven scoreless innings. He played in four games in May, won three games with an ERA of 0.63, and won five consecutive games from his debut to his monthly MVP.

The Rakuten Eagles match was held in Tokoroza, Saitama Prefecture, and Beruna Dome (Seibu Dome) on the 25th. Takeuchi, who made his 16th start of the season, became a losing pitcher after allowing eight hits and two runs in seven innings. He struck out six and finished the game without four outs.

He pitched well with one hit and no run until the third inning, and after two outs in the top of the fourth inning, he hit a one-run home run to the left by Toshiki Abe. He then gave up three hits after one out in the fifth inning and allowed additional runs. The Seibu lineup was tied up by five Rakuten pitchers. It ended with a total of two hits in the fifth and eighth innings. a 0-2 complete defeat. He suffered his 16th Youngbong plaque.

It's hard to win even if you throw well.

35 wins, two draws and 76 losses, and a winning rate of 315. Seibu is the only Japanese professional baseball team with a winning percentage of 30 percent among the 12 teams in both leagues. It was once down to the 20% range and is worried about losing 100 games for the first time in a single season. The team's batting average of .25 is also overwhelmingly last among the 12 teams. No. 1 Softbank has 480 points, while Seibu has 262 points.

Takeuchi has 12 quality starts (more than 6 innings, less than 3 earned runs) and 9 high quality starts (more than 7 innings, less than 2 earned runs) and 7 wins (five losses, 2.37 ERA). If it had been with the help of the batters, they would have accumulated more wins.

While Takeuchi pitched 17 innings in the last three games, the Seibu lineup scored four runs. Takeuchi lost all three games.

Rookie pitchers are tied for 10th in multiple wins in the Pacific League and 11th in quality starts. He is second in the team with multiple wins after left-hander Jihiro Sumida (8 wins).

There are 30 games left. Takeuchi is expected to have five chances to select. 그가 5경기에서
