"What bothers me more than money is mandatory registration."

The second draft, which drew the attention of everyone involved in the KBO, is over. KBO and the heads of 10 clubs held the second draft behind closed doors in Seoul on the 19th, and announced the results.

A biennial venue for players who fail to take the opportunity in each team. However, the second draft was 'Throwing'. A total of 17 players found the new team. The three teams of the NC Dinos, Hanwha Eagles and LG Twins did not make a single nomination. A total of 22 players moved in the second draft of 2023, and none of the teams did not pick one.




What's more shocking is that only four teams exercised their right to name in the first round, which could pick the best player. Kiwoom Heroes named An Chi-hong as the first overall pick, KIA Tigers as the third-ranked pitcher Lee Tae-yang, Lotte Giants as the fourth-ranked pitcher Kim Joo-wan, and KT Wiz as the fifth-ranked NC infielder Ahn In-san. The rest of the club was a pass.

Although the real names cannot be disclosed, it is known that a large number of players with name values and high salaries have been released from the protected list in the baseball world. However, except for Ahn Chi-hong, Lee Tae-yang, and Lee Yong-chan, it can be summarized because it was the second draft that did not have a big wave.

Then, why did many teams give up their first-round nomination rights without regret. In the first round, it was necessary to spend a large amount of 400 million won to bring players, but was it not enough for the players to pay for it. If a player has an FA contract, if the annual salary is hundreds of millions of won, it may be a big burden to recruit another 400 million won.




But it wasn't the problem. A club official said "Talking about the field is not a matter of money. He hinted that 50 days of mandatory registration is a bigger burden.

Since meaningless recruitment of players is not allowed, the standard for registration of first-round players was set on the 50th and second-round players on the 30th when making the second draft regulation. You have to fill it in at least one out of two years. If the criteria are not met within two years, they will return to their original club after the end of the second season or will be announced as free agents. If you return, you have to return 50% of the transfer. If a player doesn't want to return, he becomes a free agent. Although there is an exception to the season when the injured list has been registered for more than 30 days ahead of the second draft, no club brings it in hoping that the player will be hurt.

Isn't this official 100% sure what kind of performance the bringing player will give. Even if there is a fierce ranking fight throughout the season, one entry spot is valuable, and the fact that you have to spend that spot due to mandatory registration regulations can be a big burden on the field. If you are not sure that 'Lee uses it in the first team somehow, you will be reluctant to nominate him in the first round.'"
