(Sports Seoul | Goyang = Park Yeon -jun) ‘Missaeng’. It is a common name for those who dream of entering a professional. It is an unfinished player. The potential value must be recognized by Scouts. But the reality I met was different. The desperate desperation was not visible, and there was a scene where the basics could not be kept. This is why scouts also evaluated that “the player to be selected.”
On the 18th, the 2026 KBO rookie draft triout was held at the Goyang National Baseball Stadium. A total of 19 people, including eight pitchers and 11 batters, participated. From Tuta -do, including players who are not yet adults, independent league players, overseas U -turns, and non -offers. A variety of players participated in the background.
The batters have been defensive and base test, starting with the batting test. In the case of pitchers, he made a bullpen pitch at 30 mounds per person. In the hot weather over 36 degrees, everyone was sweating to see the professional officials.
But the scouts who watched the scene were cold. The player who can pick it up is limited. A team official said, “There is no preparation. In the past year, there were players who were eye -catching with home runs, but there was no one this year.
It is not a simple ‘lack of skill’. There was a lack of ‘the attitude of testing’. In the batting test, some players showed only catcher foul fly and hut swing. Another colorful wrist protector or accessories were worn. It seemed like a ‘outer cool’, not an action to reveal yourself to the scout.
Moreover, for those who are called ‘microbes’, it is ‘basic’ to run around in a baseball field, which was hard to find. “I think it’s better to see the emission players. I can’t blame the hot weather. I’m wondering if I have posture and attitude.
Of course, some players showed the possibility. Shin Woo -yeol, who was nominated for Tampa Bay in the fireworks baseball, independent league Hwaseong Cory, and Tampa Bay’s name at the 2023 ML draft, attracted attention. In the batting test, he produced the most quality batting. He also boasted strong shoulders in defense. However, it is true that desperation is not seen for them.
The Tri -Out is the challenge of the desperate players. It is the stage to catch the opportunity on the professional threshold. But on this stage, emptiness was ahead. Compared to the previous year, there was a lack of participants who left ‘impact’. There was a lot of colorless odorless appearance. There were so many scenes that were less prepared to knock on the professional dream. duswns0628@sportsseoul.com
