Chung Hyeon-woo (19, Kiwoom Heroes), who is ranked first, is not the fifth starting pitcher but the fourth starting pitcher. He already has two wins. However, it is not easy for Chung Woo-joo (19, Hanwha Eagles), who is ranked second, to get a chance as a starting pitcher due to team circumstances. Kiwoom and Hanwha, who foster the two super rookies, have distinctly different shapes.바카라

Chung started in an away game against Hanwha in the 2025 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on Sunday, and allowed seven hits, three strikeouts, one walk and two runs in five innings to secure his second win in this season. He played in five innings in three consecutive games. His earned run average (ERA) is 4.80.

After graduating from Deoksu High School, Chung joined Kiwoom in the first place in the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft. Initially, Kiwoom had in mind the right-hander Jung Woo-joo (a graduate of Jeonju High School) who threw 155-km fastballs. However, he highly evaluated Chung's growth and stability, and changed his mind as he prepared for the draft.

Kiwoom's change of opinion, which has the first overall nomination right, has consequently changed the early fate of the two super rookies. Due to the team's situation, the mound is weak, and Kiwoom, which has one foreign pitcher, is in a position to find a new face in the starting team somehow. Chung Hyun-woo started the season as a fourth starter, not even a fifth starter, and there is an expectation that he will be able to do well right away after Ha Young-min and Kim Yoon-ha, and the sealing is high.

Jung's speed is slower than that of Jung Woo-joo. When I open the lid, it drops even more than expected. Most four-seam fastballs are recorded in the early 140km range. Instead, he has compliance with ball control and commands. He does not display his strengths and weaknesses, but he still does not destroy himself. He can also stage competitions in his body. By mixing sliders, folk balls, curves, and high-fast balls, he shows off his capacity not to be a rookie. As he reduced the number of pitches he pitched, he started to manage the number of pitches. He is also capable of checking runners and defense capabilities. He started three times as a fourth starter, and won two times with an ERA of 4.80.

Coach Hong Won-ki sent out Chung Hyeon-woo, who threw 93 pitches in the fifth inning until the fourth inning of the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on March 26, because he thought his debut match would be meaningful because Chung should be the starting pitcher for the team. Kiwoom never invests in rookies who are not good enough to invest in the first place.

Kiwoom even dreams that Jung Hyun-woo will form a native one-two punch with Ahn Woo-jin in the future. There is still a long way to go, but the potential is sufficient. When Ahn Woo-jin goes to the Major League after the 2028 season, it is expected that Jung Hyun-woo will take over the ace baton.

On the other hand, Jung had 5.14 ERA in all eight games, with no loss or loss. During the first ⅓ innings against Kiwoom in Daejeon on Sunday, he showed good performance with three strikeouts, one walk and no run. Despite his high ERA, only the game against the LG Twins on March 25 was significantly shaken when he allowed three runs without allowing even a single out count. Jung did not lose a point in six of the remaining seven games.

Jung is a right-handed fireballer who throws 155 kilometers into the air. Analysts say that Jung will prevail in the performance evaluation process right now. Some say that Jung is slightly superior in terms of shilling and potential. Hanwha will now be able to raise its right-hander ace who will succeed Ryu.

However, Jung does not have a chance to play in the starting lineup. In addition to the two foreign pitchers Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss, Hanwha has Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-ju as its third and fifth starters. Ryu is an 8-year, 17-billion-won contract for ultra-long machinery, while Um Sang-baek was hired by the team by a four-year, 7.8 billion-won contract last winter. Moon Dong-ju is a symbolic fireballer Young-gun ahead of Jung Woo-ju.

Um Sang-baek is sluggish with three losses and a 6.75 ERA in three games. Still, it is hard to exclude a starting pitcher who was hired as an FA due to lackluster performance in three games. Jung can take a starting class in the second division, but Hanwha has decided to use him as a setup man in order to fully display the taste of the first division this year.

The direction of Kiwoom's project to nurture Chung Hyeon-woo can be read relatively clearly. However, Jung Woo-ju is somewhat foggy. After all, it is clear that this is a special honor that should provide a starting position in the first team someday. First of all, it is valuable experience to learn the taste of the first team from the bullpen and feel the difficulties of the bullpen pitcher. Hanwha may also have a plan.
