Major League Baseball Military Academy 'Raised'... What about the next big leaguer, Woojin?

Blog Article

Attention is focusing on who will be the next big leaguer of the Kiwoom Heroes, who emerged as an MLB military academy when Kim Hye-sung (26) joined the Los Angeles Dodgers, a prestigious Major League Baseball (MLB).

According to the baseball community on Sunday, fastball pitcher Ahn Woo-jin is mentioned as the next candidate of Kiwoom, which produced five big leaguers. Ahn is currently serving in the military as a public service worker. In a related development, baseball statistics website FanGraph.COM ranked Ahn Woo-jin 21st after Kim Do-young (19th, Kia Tigers) in the recent rankings of international promising players.

Ahn Woo-jin, who made his professional debut as Nexen's (current Kiwoom) first designation in 2018 after graduating from Whimoon High School, has powerful fastballs and sliders with speeds of more than 150 kilometers per hour. On top of that, Ahn's curveball and change-up are also good, doubling his power.안전놀이터

Kiwoom is actively seeking to let its players advance to the big leagues. Kiwoom has recently earned up to 67.8 billion won (64.7 million U.S. dollars) in transfer fees to Kim Hye-sung alone.

The MLB posting system is a shortcut. To this end, the team needs to complete the registration period of 145 days for seven seasons. Ahn spent six seasons with Kiwoom, but only two seasons are met. Hence, the earliest he can play in the big league is 2029. If Ahn, who will be discharged from the military in September this year, participates in the World Baseball Classic scheduled in March next year and produces results, the registration period may be shortened by one year.
