The Doosan Bears have signed 10 of their 11 2024 KBO Rookie Draft picks.

Doosan announced on Thursday that it has “finalized contracts with 10 of its 2024 rookies.”

First-round pick Kim Taek-yeon, a pitcher from Incheon High School, signed a contract worth 350 million won. At this year’s U-18 Baseball World Cup, Kim went 2-1 with a save in six games and a 0.88 ERA, earning the tournament’s Best Relief Pitcher Award. With a fastball that reaches a maximum speed of 153 kilometers per hour, he is considered an immediate powerhouse for next season. Kim will be honored at the 10th annual Choi Dong-won Award ceremony on May 17.

The second-round pick, infielder Yeo Dong-gun (Seoul High), was stamped at 150 million won. Despite her small stature, Yeo has an imposing physique and a three-beat offense. In the third round, Im Jong-sung (Gyeongbuk High – infielder) was signed for 100 million won. Im Jong-sung is a strong hitter with good wrist strength and the ability to produce long balls.

In addition, fourth-round pick Kang Tae-wan (Daegu Sangwon High, outfielder) signed for 80 million won, fifth-round pick Park Ji-ho (Donggang University, pitcher) and sixth-round pick Jeon Damin (Gangneung Youngdong University, outfielder) signed for 60 million won, and seventh-round pick Kim Mubin (Shinil High, pitcher) signed for 50 million won.스포츠토토
