Cho Won-bin (21), a promising American minor leaguer, was selected as the most anticipated prospect for this year's team.

On the 4th (Korean time), MLB.com, the Major League Baseball (MLB) website, selected and introduced one prospect expected to grow the most for each of the 30 clubs for the 2024 season.

In the St. Louis Cardinals, Cho Won-bin, who is in his third year in the minor league this year, was named.

Left-handed hitter Cho Won-bin submitted an application for participation in the 2022 KBO rookie draft and was mentioned as a strong candidate for the first round of selection in the Seoul region. However, in January 2022, he signed an international amateur contract with St. Louis and chose to challenge the MLB.

Cho Won-bin, who graduated from Seoul Convention High School, was evaluated as having outstanding skills in many areas, including batting, defense, and base running. He achieved outstanding results in his three-year high school career, with a batting average of 0.362, 5 home runs, 29 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 1.073. 안전 토토사이트

Cho Won-bin appeared in 26 games in the Rookie League Florida Complex League, his first year in the minor league, and struggled with a batting average of 0.211, 1 home run, 3 RBI, 6 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.716. However, last year he was promoted to the Single-A Florida State League, where he batted .270 in 105 games, with 7 home runs, 52 RBI, and 32 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.765.

MLB.com said, “Cho Won-bin solidified his position by playing in the Rookie League Florida Complex League and Single-A Florida State League during his first two seasons. He predicted, “2024 could be a time for a leap forward.”

In addition, “Cho Won-bin, a left-handed hitter, has above-average strength. He added, “He can grow further once he gets out of the pitcher-friendly Florida State League.” 슬롯사이트
