The down payment is not in order of ranking?
There are rumors of 2023 rookie contracts from 10 clubs. ê½ë¨¸ë‹ˆ On the 27th of last month, the Hanwha Eagles broke the first tape of their rookie contract by giving 500 million won to Kim Seo-hyun, the first-round first-choice pick. Afterwards, Yoon Young-cheol of the KIA Tigers, who was nominated in the second place, signed for 320 million won, and Shin Young-woo, the fourth-ranked NC Dinos, signed a contract for 250 million won. Kiwoom Heroes Kim Geon-hee (6th place, 220 million won) and Samsung Lions Lee Ho-seong (8th place 200 million won) also announced the contract.
However, the down payment amount was set in the order in which it was called, and then a sudden reversal occurred. The LG Twins announced on the 3rd that they had signed a contract with catcher Kim Beom-seok, who was selected as the 7th pick, for 250 million won. I thought that the Lotte Giants, who need a catcher as the biggest catcher, are highly likely to pick the 3rd pick, but when Lotte nominated Kim Min-seok, the biggest infielder, Kim Bum-seok was pushed down to the 7th, and LG took Kim Bum-seok. Even so, the 250 million won given to Kim Beom-seok is the same amount as Shin Young-woo, who ranked fourth. It was 30 million won more than Kim Gun-hee, who was ranked 6th.
Another reversal of the down payment occurred when KT announced that he signed a contract with Kim Jung-woon, who was selected as the last 10th in the first round, for 220 million won. This is because it was 20 million won more than Lee Ho-seong, who was ranked 8th, and the same amount as Kim Gun-hee, who was ranked 6th. There is not much difference in skill between the first round players. Kim Seo-hyun, who spread 156 km, and Yoon Young-cheol, who showed stability in international competitions, received a large amount of money, and in subsequent rankings, they all signed a down payment of 200 million read more won.
Still, among rookies, ê½ë¨¸ë‹ˆ the down payment is directly linked to their pride. If a player who was called later than you receives a similar or even higher down payment, your self-esteem may be hurt. Although the amount is set at the club's discretion, they see the pre-announced down payment of other team's rookie players and spend a little more to save their team's rookie spirit.
Now, the remaining players are Lotte Kim Min-seok (infielder at Hwimun High School) in 3rd place, SSG Lee Rowoon (pitcher in Daegu High School) in 5th place, and Doosan Choi Jun-ho (Pitcher at Bukil High School) in 9th place. In the case of Kim Min-seok, there is a lot of interest in how much down payment he will receive as Lotte is the biggest beast that Lotte has chosen after giving up on Kim Beom-seok.
