Park Geon-woo (18), who won a bronze medal at last year’s WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup as a sophomore at high school, will now enter the professional world wearing KT’s uniform. “If I have a chance, I want to challenge for the Rookie of the Year award,” he said.
Park Kun-woo, who is attending Chungam High School in Seoul, was nominated by KT as the 19th overall in the second round of the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft. Park Kun-woo picked Son Dong-hyun (23) as a role model in an interview after meeting a rookie player at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 27th. “Son Dong-hyun is a must-win team in the first team and goes to the game in a difficult situation for the team,” he said. “I used to go to a hard or inclement situation in high school baseball, so I feel that there are many similarities to me, so I’m my role model.”
Park Gun-woo is close to Yoon Young-cheol (20) of KIA, who is two years his senior at Chungam High School. “I keep in touch with Young-cheol often, but as soon as I was selected during the draft, Young-cheol contacted me to congratulate me,” he said. “My brother said, ‘Congratulations, come and do well,’ so I jokingly said, ‘You’ll do better than me,’ and he said, ‘Professional is not easy, come and try it,'” he recalled. “I once played a joke on Young-cheol in high school, but he was upset and didn’t talk for a few days, so I hung on him to relieve his mood,” Park Gun-woo said, talking about his school days. 토토사이트 추천
“My strength is that I can score strikes at any game with my stable ball control and I don’t get nervous under any circumstances,” Park said. “I am confident in stopping one inning. I think I will be able to show good performance if I throw my all-out innings in the professional league.” “My primary goal is to get into the opening entry and try to win the Rookie of the Year award if I have a chance,” he said.
