Korea finished third in the World Baseball Softball Federation (WBSC) under 18 (U-18) World Youth Baseball Championship 3rd and 4th in the finals of the World Youth Baseball Championship, which was held at Hyundai Cha Dreamball Park in Busan on the 8th.
It was clear that it was a place where I could confirm the skills of the players who were nominated for the new draft. The division of the new professional players who will be responsible for the Future of their team and the Korean baseball team has made a deep impression.
In Mound, Mini standard (KT) and Allow run Dong (Samsung Lions), who played as one-two punches in Yugoshi, stood out. The two players who led Korea's Super Round with a big performance from the UEFA Champions League satisfied the hearts of KT and Samsung Lions who chose themselves. In addition, Lee Kang-joon (KT), Lee Min-ho (LG), and Oh Won-seok (SK) performed a well-played relay, proving why they were named as professional clubs. Lee Ju-yeop (Doosan) and Choi Jun-yong (Lotte) also did their part well in the bullpen. Korea Mound's ERA, which passed the UEFA Champions League to No. 1, was only 1.04.
Although the Super Round was disappointing, the World Youth Baseball Championship was a meaningful tournament that was able to confirm the bright Future of Korea Mound.
