The 2025 KBO Rookie Draft will also feature Kiwoom Heroes following last year. Kiwoom has received three nomination rights through trade between Lee Ji-young and Kim Hui-jip, and has six nomination rights for rookies within the third round.
In a telephone conversation with Sports Seoul on Tuesday, Kiwoom's general manager Ko Hyung-wook said, "We have repeated meetings because we need to select good players. We are all over the place."
The team finished last year at the bottom of the list and has the long-awaited No. 1 pick. "We will finalize the first pick through meetings for the rest of the year," Koh said while keeping quiet about the overall No. 1 pick.
Kiwoom has a total of six nominations within three rounds. They are the first and seventh (nomination rights obtained through Kim Hwi-jip trade), the first and second rounds, the first and seventh (nomination rights obtained through Kim Hwi-jip trade), and the eighth (nomination rights obtained through Lee Ji-young trade).
"From now on, it is a battle of information. We will take a close look at who will be able to come to our turn," Koh said.
"Players' farm is good. I think we need to select good players. We will prepare well for the rest of the year," Koh said.
The 2025 KBO League Rookie Draft will be held on August 11. Who will be the first overall pick.
