The entry for the opening of professional baseball has been announced. A total of five teams and eight rookies were named.
KBO announced the entry for the opening game of the new season on the 21st.
Of the total 280 entries from the 10 clubs, eight are rookies. Five fewer players compared to 13 last season.
KIA, which won last year's championship, boasts the most stable power among the 10 clubs. KIA's rookies Kim Tae-hyung and Lee Ho-min did not make the entry in the first and second rounds.
However, Park Jae-hyun was named in the third round. He hit a .400 batting average in the exhibition game and drew attention by playing a dynamic defense as a center fielder. The position has been decidedRather, it is said that he showed the value of giving a chance in the first team. It also has fast feet, so it can be used at once as a loan and logarithmic ratio.

Samsung's Bae Chan-seung and LG's Kim Young-woo are by far impressive. Bae Chan-seung is a left-hander who sprays an explosive fastball of more than 150km. He received a lot of media attention from the spring camp, and also gave a strong impression in the exhibition game, making Samsung coach Park Jin-man laugh.
LG Kim Young-woo is a closing candidate from the opening game. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop admired the 150-kilometer fastball and predicted that he would be a candidate for the first team entry as well as a closing candidate at the beginning of the season. Until Jang Hyun-sik's condition improves after returning from injury, a fearless rookie should take over the important role.

Hanwha's first-rounder Jung Woo-joo and second-rounder Kwon Min-gyu, who were praised by head coach Kim Kyung-moon throughout the exhibition game, joined the opening entry side by side. Jung Woo-joo, the second pick overall, is a pitcher who will succeed Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun's Hanwha Fireballer lineage, who already put in a 156km fastball in high school. Kwon Min-gyu is 180 degrees different. Manager Kim Kyung-moon has sophisticated ball control and game management skills enough to satisfy him, saying, `Arrest is not everything.'
KT, Doosan, SSG, Lotte, and NC have no rookie players. But Kiwoom has three players. He alone took a significant portion of the rookie stake in the opening entry of the KBO League.
That is also three except for Chung Hyun-woo, who is the No. 1 overall player. It's not because there's another problem. Chung Hyun-woo will be used as the fourth starter for Kiwoom this year. As a result, he was excluded from the opening series, which will be held in two consecutive games.

However, there are three people except Jeong Hyeon-woo. Yeo Dong-wook, the third-rounder of the final shot against Lotte in the exhibition game, has already been selected as the main third baseman. Jeon Tae-hyun, a fifth-rounder, is disappointed in defense, but one bat is excellent. Kwon Hyuk-bin also made an impression with his quick feet.
As for pitchers, nine teams except Hanwha (10 players) included 11 to 13 players. He doesn't seem to avoid bullpen fights from the opening game. The catcher included only three players from Hanwha, KT, and Doosan, and two from the remaining seven teams.
After the opening two consecutive games, the entry will be changed. In particular, three to five starting pitchers will be called up one after another. KIA, Doosan, KT, and Hanwha are considered to have a strong starting lineup.
