Now baseball fans are paying attention to how much Jung Woo-joo gets.
Deoksu Chung Hyeon-woo, the No. 1 overall player, was the first to cut the tape when he joined the Kiwoom Heroes for a down payment of 500 million won. It was the third-largest rookie down payment for the Kiwoom club after Jang Jae-young (900 million won) and Ahn Woo-jin (600 million won).
As the first choice received 500 million won, the players in this draft will be priced to a certain extent. Kim Seo-joon of Chunghoon High School, the seventh-ranked team taken by Kiwoom when the NC Dinos were drafted, signed a contract of 220 million won, setting the standard for the lower order of deposit in the first round.스포츠토토
At the time of the draft, attention was focused on who would be selected first from the third place, including Bae Chan-seung of Daegu High School, Kim Tae-hyun of Gwangju Il High School, and Kim Tae-hyung of Deoksu High School, but Bae Chan-seung went to Samsung as the third place, Kim Tae-hyun as the fourth place, Lotte as the fifth place, and Kim Tae-hyung as KIA as the new nest. They were also curious about the size of their down payment, but Kim Tae-hyung stamped it first on the 24th. The down payment is 300 million won.
Bae Chan-seung and Kim Tae-hyun also announced the news one after another. Bae will receive 400 million won.
This amount exceeds the 350 million won that Choi Chae-heung received in 2018, Won Tae-in in 2019, and Lee Seung-hyun (left-hander) in 2021. This means that there are high expectations for Bae Chan-seung.
Kim signed the same contract for 300 million won as Kim. Kim Dong-hyun of Seoul High School, who is ranked ninth, has decided to join KT Wiz for 200 million won.
Now, only the second-ranked Jeongo and Jung Woo-joo remain among the top-ranked pitchers. Jung Woo-joo was the most likely pitcher to be drafted this year, but as Kiwoom changed its direction to Chung Hyeon-woo at the last minute, Hanwha was appointed. Analysts say that Jung Woo-joo is never inferior to Chung. The fact that Jung Woo-joo is a fastball pitcher who sprays the fastest 156km among the rookies this time raises questions about how much he will sign.
Jung Woo-joo’s down payment may be set in between, but it may be the same as Chung Hyun-woo, as the first-ranked Chung Hyun-woo received 500 million won and the third-ranked Bae Chan-seung received 400 million won. This year’s rookie Hwang Joon-seo (Hanwha Eagles) and second-ranked Kim Taek-yeon (Doosan Bears) received 350 million won each.
Hanwha signed a contract of 500 million won to Moon Dong-ju, the first nominee, and 500 million won to Kim Seo-hyun, the first runner-up. At which point will Hanwha and Jung Woo-ju shake hands.
