★ Jung Hyun-woo (Kium Heroes), ★ Jung Woo-ju (Hanwha Eagles), and ★ Bae Chan-seung (Samsung Lions), who received the first to third overall pick in the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft, are among the "Super Rookie" that will open on the 22nd.메이저사이트

They all use fastballs as pitchers in common, but they also showed outstanding performances in exhibition games. Chung Hyun-woo, who was designated as the No. 1 overall pick by Kiwoom, has shown stable ball control and breaking ball skills on fastballs over 150 kilometers per hour since his high school days.

In three exhibition games, Chung pitched 11 innings and allowed two runs (one earned run), 10 strikeouts and an ERA of 0.82, capturing the hearts of Hong. He also had the opportunity to be selected as the fourth starter in his first season as a pro baseball player. "He boosted his pace as he had planned through practice and exhibition games," Hong said.

Jung Woo-joo, who is wearing Hanwha's uniform as the second overall, also took the mound three times in the exhibition game and pitched 2 1/3 innings, showing impressive performance. Jung Woo-joo, who has made a name for his fastball since his high school days, also drew attention by throwing 154km of fastball in the exhibition game.

However, Kim does not put much emphasis on fastballs. "It can be a pride thing, but we need sophisticated ball control as well. I don't think we should be too absorbed in speed," Kim said.

With Kim's comment, another rookie Kwon Min-gyu is drawing attention from Hanwha. Kwon, who was ranked 12th overall in the second round, displayed stable ball control and pitched 2/3 scoreless innings in three exhibition games.

Bae Chan-seung, who joined Samsung as the third overall player, showed off his heavy pitching in spring camps and exhibition games. In the game against SSG Landers on the 8th, which was his first exhibition game, he pitched well with one hit and two strikeouts in one inning, but in the game against the Doosan Bears on the 11th, he was somewhat disappointed with his five hits and three runs in three minutes and two innings.

Still, coach Park Jin-man did not hide his expectations, saying, "Chan-seung will join the opening entry." Bae will likely be appointed from the bullpen.

Kim Young-woo, who was nominated by LG Twins as the 10th overall pick, is also a dark horse. Kim Young-woo, who Yeom Kyung-yeop mentioned as a potential temporary closing pitcher, showed off a sense of stability by allowing one hit and no run in five innings in five exhibition games. Rookie fielders such as Jeon Tae-hyun, Yeo Dong-wook (Mium), Soo-ho and Shim Jae-hoon (Samsung) are also considered talents to pay attention to.
