Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung's conversation with reporters at the scene is drawing attention ahead of the rookie draft.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung had a conversation on the theme of the rookie draft to be held the next day ahead of the match against LG in Jamsil on the 10th.

Coach Kim said "I heard that 1 or 2 is almost certain. In the end, it will depend on Samsung's choice. Of course, the left hand is better for the same skill. There is a friend (Bae Chan-seung from Daegu High School) who suddenly popped out these days, and I saw the video and the ball was good. Right hand (Duck High School Kim Tae-hyung) is a pitcher who has been good for a long time...." As for the possibility of a surprise fielder's pick "Can a fielder gain the main position within two years?" We need a pitcher who throws well." He dismissed the possibility.



There was a slight misunderstanding in this area.

This is because only two pitchers, Bae Chan-seung and Kim Tae-hyung, were mentioned.



He praised Bae Chan-seung, saying, "I liked left-handed pitchers and balls." However, Samsung, the third-ranked team in front of him, is likely to be nominated.

In that case, it began to be assumed that Lotte's choice would be Kim Tae-hyung.

Then, is Lotte's choice always Kim Tae-hyung. Is Kim Tae-hyun, the left-hander who has emerged rapidly since the Blue Dragon Open.

Regarding this, a Lotte official said "As reporters don't ask questions about Kim Tae-hyun, the manager doesn't seem to have mentioned it in particular."It will depend on Samsung's choice, but Kim Tae-hyun will also be considered for (nomination)."

This means that head coach Kim Tae-hyung has not mentioned it separately, but Kim Tae-hyun has not ruled out Lotte's possibility of the first round's No. 1 nomination.

In fact, Lotte has a thirst for left-handed pitchers. In particular, there is an absolute shortage of left-handed pitchers in the bullpen. The reason why Jin Hae-soo and Lim Jun-seop were recruited. Young left-handers such as Chung Hyun-soo and Kim Jin-wook are growing, but considering both the starters and the bullpen, left-handers are in a situation where they are 'Dahong skirt'.

If fourth-ranked Lotte appoints Kim Tae-hyung right in front of him, it will be appreciated for fifth-ranked KIA.

This is because Kim Tae-hyun, a left-hander of Gwangju Il High School, can be nominated without much thought. In this case, even Doosan, where the fielder's biggest fish is Deoksu and Park Joon-soon is likely to be nominated, will be arranged in a regular arrangement. Since then, clubs are expected to nominate pitchers focusing on poten with high growth potential.

Along with Samsung, which holds the tallest height, Lotte's choice could significantly change the game of the first round draft.
