(Sports Seoul | Jamsil = Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) ‘High School Rookie’ Choi Min -seok (19) is in charge of Doosan starter. It is growing and growing. I won the first start in the second half. There was also a few strikeout records in one match.
Choi Min -suk started the 2025 KBO League regular season Hanwha match held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd and recorded five innings and four hits and two walks and seven strikeouts. He threw 92 pitches up to five times and blocked the Hanwha line. He was also a winner. It has been tasted in about two months since KT on May 28.
The highest restraint in Gyeonggi -do was 145 km / h. It was not overwhelming restraint, but it bothered Hanwha batters with good movements. In addition, the venue, such as a sweeper and the splitter, was properly mixed and effectively pulled out the opposing bat.
As a result, he struck out seven innings in five innings. It is the most strikeout I recorded. The previous record was four innings in the KIA match on June 4. I added three more than the time and made it more meaningful to myself.
In the 2025 KBO rookie draft, he was nominated for Doosan as the 16th overall in the second round. The club is a prospect that looked at the possibility of growth by watching. The season departed in the second group. In the Futures League, he showed a 0.75 ERA of 0.75.
Finally, I got the first group opportunity in May. On May 21, he scored four innings and two hits and three walks and three strikeouts. It wasn’t bad for the first start of high school graduates. A week later, on May 28, he won his first professional debut with five innings.
Since then, he has been steadily playing in the first group and proves his ability. Prior to the game, Choi Min -seok scored 1 win, 2 losses and an average ERA of 3.63. In the end, Cho Sung -hwan, the director of the second half, included Choi Min -seok in the starting rotation.
On the 23rd, Hanwha was the first start of Choi Min -seok. It could be as burdensome as it had to repay the faith sent by the command tower. I couldn’t see that at all. From the first episode, he threw the ball and proved himself why he entered the starting rotation.
I am also determined. Choi Min -seok said, “It is the goal of the season to finish the season without hurt.” If it is the momentum, there is nothing to do. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
