2025 KBO League Rookie Draft. High school powerhouses Deoksu High School, Jeon Ju High School, and Gyeonggi Sang High School have been honored to produce six players each to the professional league.

In the meantime, there is another school that has staged a quiet rebellion. Dongwon University of Science and Technology (Dongwon University of Science and Technology).

It's not a top round in the spotlight, but it's a miracle achievement. Dongwon National University of Science and Technology sent a total of three players to the professional stage in the rookie draft last year, the third year of its foundation. And for the second consecutive year, three players will wear professional uniforms. Last year, Dongguk University and Songwon University tied for first place in the largest number of university emissions, but this year, they were proudly first place alone.

With college athletes increasingly being turned away, it is surprising that so many players have entered the professional league for two consecutive years. There are no unprovoked consequences. Since its inception, the school has given generous support to the baseball team. When a competent leader was recruited to a good training facility, it became a school for players even though it was a new team.

Coach Lee Moon-han did not shine when he was active, but after retirement, he performed various tasks as a front desk for the Samsung Lions and Lotte Giants. In the process, I was able to build a lot of know-how to make a professional player.

For example, Lee Min-jae, who was nominated by Hanwha, drew attention this year by setting an unprecedented record of four consecutive leadoff home runs in the college league. It could not be said that the record did not affect the professional nomination.

Coach Lee suggested bulk-up to Lee Min-jae, who had good batting skills in high school but lacked power. Lee Min-jae, who gained strength in the second year of this year, began to attract the attention of scouts with a different hit than before.

By strengthening the team's power with guidance that utilizes individual players' characteristics, he is establishing himself as a strong team in the university league.

"It is an honor and a shame to send three players to the professional league for the second consecutive year," Lee said. It's not the end of the draft. Even as a reported player, he is taking another step forward so that his students can wear professional uniforms"I didn't let go of the tension.

Dongwon National University of Science and Technology has become the university's best 'Professional Academy' in four years.
