He dominated the high school stage during his time at Hwimungo University with his outstanding contact skills. He is a good hitter with 30 strikeouts and 29 walks, with BB/K approaching 1. Although he played shortstop, he is likely to move to another position to save his batting talent on the professional stage, similar to Lee Jung-hoo's introductory pro course.
Kiwoom Heroes, who had an eye on the possibility of growth into the `second Lee Jung-hoo' in the 2025 rookie draft, quickly embraced Yeom Seung-won as the 11th pick of the second round.
Yeom Seung-won's overall batting average exceeds 40% during his three years in high school. Last year, when he was a third grader, he ranked first in 20 games with a batting average of 521 (38 hits in 73 at-bats for 87 and an 18-run OPS of 1.301). He became the hero of the 2024 Lee Myung-min batting award, which is given to the best hitter.
