The Hanwha Eagles selected Min Ju-hong of Seolak High School in the first round of the rookie draft.

Hanwha used its first-round pick on Min Ju-hong at the rookie draft held on the 21st. Attention is focused on whether Min Ju-hong, who is taking his first step onto the professional stage, can grow into a core resource for Hanwha's pitching mound.

Hanwha general manager Son Hyuk said that day, "I was nervous, wondering what we would do if this player got picked first."

Meanwhile, in the draft that day, the Kiwoom Heroes selected Ha Hyun-seung of Busan High School with the first overall pick in the first round. Ha Hyun-seung became the first player in this draft to be called by a professional club and will wear the Kiwoom uniform.
