Hwang Joon-seo was nominated by Hanwha as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 KBO Rookie Draft held on the 14th. [토토](https://www.sportstotohot.com) Hanwha, which had the first overall nomination right for three consecutive years, won Hwang Joon-seo following Moon Dong-ju 2021 and Kim Seo-hyun 2022. Moon Dong-ju had a down payment of 500 million won and Kim Seo-hyun also had a down payment of 500 million won. Hwang Joon-seo is 350 million won, less than these.

Ahead of the game against LG at Jamsil Stadium on the same day, Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho was curious about Hwang Joon-seo's down payment after hearing the news of the rookie contract. When he heard that it was 350 million won, he said, Then it's the level of Lee Eui-ri and Kim Jin-wook.

Lee Eui-ri KIA, left-handed pitchers as rookies in 2021, signed a contract for 300 million won and Kim Jin-wook Lotte for 370 million won. This year's second-ranked left-hander Yoon Young-chul KIA signed a contract for 320 million won.

When Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun heard that the down payment was 500 million won each, Choi said with a smile, We get the merit of arrest in any country. Right-handed fireballers Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun throw fastballs for more than 155 kilometers and up to 160 kilometers. Hwang Jun-seo's fastest fastball speed is around 150 kilometers.

Coach Choi expressed his intention to consider future plans after seeing the pitching of rookie players such as Hwang Joon-seo at the final camp. I think Hwang Joon-seo and left-hander Cho Dong-wook will try to watch them pitch a few times. I'm not going to do it like a do-or-die, but I'm going to make them throw about 30 to 40 pitches. I've never actually seen him throw, so I have to see him, he said.

It's bullpen pitching, but I'll have to take a look at pitching style, strike ability, command ability, breaking ball ability, and pitch value. He explained, "If you compare it with the current players, for example, Kim Ki-joong, how much can we come up with?

Hwang Joon-seo pitched in 15 games 49 ⅔ innings this year and played with 6 wins, 2 losses and a 2.16 ERA. He played for the national team at the World Baseball Softball Confederation U-18 Baseball World Cup World Youth Baseball Championship last month, recording one win, two losses and a 3.97 ERA in three games 12 ⅓ innings.
