Ho Bu-ji, who has been waiting for May 1, will the top prospect live up to that expectation.
NC Dinos pitcher Kim Nok-won will start at the last game of three consecutive weekend games against the Lotte Giants of the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" at Sajik Stadium on Sunday. It is his first time playing in the first team.안전놀이터
NC manager Lee Ho-joon looked forward to May 1 at the beginning of the season. This is because nurturing players who can energize the team can join the first team.
According to the KBO rules, it is stipulated that "fostering players can be registered as affiliated players from May 1st every year." Manager Lee looked forward to joining Kim Nok-won, Lee Joon-hyuk, and Park Ji-han, who will help the mound. And on the 1st, Kim Nok-won and Lee Joon-hyuk joined the first team after being converted from nurturing players to affiliated players.
Kim Nok-won was planning to start against the KIA Tigers, which was scheduled to be held at Gwangju KIA Champions Field on the 1st, but the game was not held due to the cancellation of the rain, and the order of taking the mound was delayed. And on the 4th, he will prepare to start against Lotte in Sajik.
Initially, NC was scheduled to send foreign pitcher Logan Allen to the game on the 4th, but the starting rotation was delayed once as he wanted to play on the 5th turn, not the 4th turn. Logan will take the mound against Suwon KT Wiz on the 5th, and Kim Nok-won will replace him as the starting pitcher on the 4th.
"Rogan was supposed to play the four-day turn, but he asked if he could take a break and play the five-day turn, so we decided to play the five-day turn normally," Lee said. "It's not like he's in particular sick. I just say that I feel a little heavy. So the schedule changed, and Kim Nok-won throws it on Sunday (April 4)."
NC has high expectations for Kim Nok-won's talent. After graduating from Gwangju Jeil High School, he joined NC as the 30th overall pick in the second and third rounds of the 2022 KBO League Rookie Draft.
As the ranking of the nominations shows, the potential is abundant. He has the highest speed ball of 149 kilometers per hour this year, and has stable ability to change-up, slider, and curve ball. Most importantly, he is good at fighting with batters with excellent ball control, has excellent count preoccupation ability, and has a low walking ratio, so he displays stable pitching. This year's Futures League performance is one win, three losses, and 25 innings of ERA of 6.12 24 strikeouts.
The NC Dinosaurs lost to the Lotte Giants 3-4 on the first day of the series on the first day of the three consecutive weekends, but managed to reverse the mood by garnering a landslide 13-4 on the second day on the third day. All that remains is for Kim Nok-won, who will start on the 4th, to continue the trend by displaying good pitching.
Meanwhile, Lee Jun-hyuk, who made his debut in the first division at the match against Lotte Corporation in Sajik on Saturday, left a message of support to his friend Kim Nok-won, who will make his debut in the first division on Sunday. Lee lost a point by allowing one run in one ⅔ inning, but made a strong impression by pitching coolly.
Lee Joon-hyuk said, "I hope you don't try to do better than what you have. If you look at what I have in the middle and throw it, I think you will throw it well without difficulty. I think I will watch the game looking forward to it."
