As long as you build a good body, you will immediately feel power.” Expectations are high for the 190cm right-hander from Jangchung High School wearing a Samsung uniform and national shortstop
“If you build your body well, you will immediately feel powerful.”
Samsung Lions coach Park Jin-man gave high praise to Yook Sun-yeop, who wore a Samsung uniform as the 4th overall pick in the 2024 KBO Rookie Draft held at the Grand Ballroom of the Westin Chosun Hotel in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul on the 14th.
Coach Park Jin-man, who met with reporters ahead of the KT Wiz match held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th, said, “I saw Yook Seon-yeop in a video even before he was drafted. Because he is tall, he has good RBI and a flexible body. He also seems to have good control and command. “He is a player who can be used as a force immediately if he builds his body well,” he said.
Yook Seon-yeop is a right-handed pitcher from Jangchung High School with a sturdy physique of 190 cm and 90 kg. Samsung said, “He is a player who has all the conditions to grow into a starting pitcher, such as the ability to use a fast ball, breaking ball, and stamina.” He added, “With his physique and excellent work style, he is expected to play a part in the starting lineup in the future.”
Coach Park Jin-man said, “First of all, I continued to play as a starter. Still, you’ll have to come and check it out to find out, but based on the video, I think he could be a good starter. “If I prepare well, I will show a good performance in the pros,” he said.메이저놀이터

He has excellent inning ability, so we plan to develop him into a starting pitcher in the future. “I highly value the fact that his skills have developed at an ideal pace after entering college,” he said.
Director Park Jin-man said, “Park Jun-yong is also similar to Yook Seon-yeop. He has a high RBI. He has power on the ball and some command. He is a player with control. He also expressed his expectations, saying, “I see him as flexible.”
