Kiwoom's "super rookies" have been unveiled. Jung Hyun-woo (19), the left-hander who has the highest attention as the No. 1 rookie in the 2025 season, Kim Seo-joon (19), a starting candidate, and Yeo Dong-wook (20), a big prospect, showed off their strong presence from the start of the exhibition game. Kiwoom laughed at the performance of rookies such as Jung Hyun-woo and Yeo Dong-wook in the first exhibition game against NC in 2025 professional baseball held at Changwon NC Park on the 8th. Kiwoom, which has a large outflow of power in the offseason, saw hope that it could fill the void of past aces with new faces.스포츠토토
On the first day of the exhibition game, rookie Chung Hyeon-woo took the mound. During three innings, Chung threw 48 pitches, allowing four strikeouts and two four outs without a hit. The maximum speed was 146 km/h.
Jung Hyun-woo completed the three-and-out inning in the first inning by throwing out NC Park Min-woo, Kim Joo-won, and Son Ah-seop. He gave up a walk to Kim Hyung-joon in the third inning and faced a crisis due to wild pitching, but he finished the given inning well without losing a point, signaling his debut season performance.
Kim Seo-joon, who was ranked seventh overall in the first round after Chung, also made a strong debut by finishing the first inning with three outs. Through the match, Chung won his first game since his debut as a pro player, and Kim Seo-joon recorded his first hold.
In the batting lineup, rookie Yeo Dong-wook in the third round showed possibility. As soon as he entered the batter's box as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, he hit a home run to the left. NC right-hander Mok Ji-hoon hit a slider that was dropped toward the center of the zone. Yeo, who won the home run title at a local high school baseball tournament when she was a student at Daegu Sangwon High School, showed off her talent as a big shot on the professional stage. Yeo had no hit in two times at bat as a pinch runner in the third inning against Changwon NC Dinos on Sunday, but he is expected to gain a steady chance to play.
Prior to the opening of the regular season, Kiwoom has a lot of homework to do. The five starters who will succeed Kenny Rosenberg, Ha Young-min, Kim Yoon-ha and Chung Hyeon-woo are undecided. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki announced that he will introduce the five starters through exhibition games. Kim Seo-joon showed impressive performance in his first exhibition game, impressing himself as a resource for the fifth starter.
It has not been decided who will fill the vacancy caused by Kim Hye-sung's advance to the U.S. and Song Seong-moon's transfer to the second base. In Taiwan's spring camp practice game, rookie infielders Yeo Dong-wook and Jeon Tae-hyun were assigned to the third base alternately. Yeo is recognized for hitting, but there are still many things to be supplemented in defense. Jeon, who mainly played shortstop in high school, also said, "I am still unfamiliar with third base defense.
The criterion for determining the starting third baseman is his ability to defend himself. "The player who wins the defense battle will be able to secure a spot on the third base," Hong said while giving high marks to both Jeon and Yeo. During the remaining exhibition games, Hong will test the qualities of the starting third baseman by employing rookie infielders including Yeo Dong-wook, Jeon Tae-hyun, and Eo Jun-seo.
