Jung Hyun-woo (Kium Heroes), a "special freshman" who was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in last year's professional baseball rookie draft, had a neat reporting ceremony in his first official game.먹튀검증

In an away game against the NC Dinos in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League exhibition game held at NC Park in Changwon on the 8th, Jung Hyun-woo struck out four in three innings, allowing no hit and no run.

He had two walks and a wild pitch, but finished the third inning with only 48 balls.

Jeong Hyeon-woo, a left-hander overhand pitcher, threw a fast ball of up to 146km/h even in the chilly weather, and a 135km fork ball was also powerful.

Chung Hyun-woo, who struck out Park Min-woo with a fly ball to left field and Kim Joo-won with a swing and miss in the bottom of the first inning, handled the third batter Son Ah-seop with a ground ball to the second base.

In the second inning, he caught Matt Davidson with a fly ball to left field and walked Park Gun-woo, but struck out Kwon Hee-dong and Park Han-gyeol in a row.

Jung Hyun-woo was replaced in the third inning after allowing only one walk and blocking NC's batters with no runs.

Chung Hyun-woo's calm use of both fast balls and folk balls in practice is noticeable.

Chung Hyun-woo's performance is expected to be a great boost for Kiwoom, which is seeking a new leap forward.
