Hanwha's 'Special Rookie' Jung Woo-joo has a strong impression! He recorded 152 km in speed... It became a new pitcher option

Hanwha Eagles' "special rookie" Jung Woo-joo (19) is raising expectations for the new season by showing overwhelming ball power in the spring camp.카지노

Hanwha lost 2-4 to the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Japanese professional baseball league (NPB) at Itoman City Sports Park Ballpark in Okinawa, Japan on the 23rd, but Jung Woo-joo's good pitching stood out.

Taking the mound in the ninth inning, Jung had three outs and four outs on just nine balls. He threw a heavy ball with a maximum speed of 152 km, and neatly rounded up the inning with one infield grounder and two fly balls.

Jung Woo-joo, who wore Hanwha's uniform as the second overall pick of the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft, has drawn attention as a "fireballer" spraying fastballs in the mid-150km/h range since his high school days.

Last year, he showed strong potential by recording 4-1 with 80 strikeouts and a 1.24 ERA in 45 ⅔ innings in 16 games at Jeonju High School.

He is also displaying outstanding pitching capabilities at the ongoing training camp in Japan. Earlier, he recorded speeds of up to 154 kilometers at the Australian camp. 

Jung Woo-joo is considered a resource that has the potential to join the starting lineup as well as the bullpen. General manager Son Hyuk also said, "In some cases, I can get on the starting mound," so there is a good chance that I will be given a chance during the season.

As the exhibition game and the regular season approach, attention is focused on whether Jung Woo-joo will be another card to lead Hanwha's leap to the top.
