Lead Paragraph: Jung Woo-ju, the 19-year-old pitching sensation from Jeonju High School, has been selected by the Hanwha Eagles in the 2023 KBO Draft. Renowned for his blistering fastball that consistently tops 156 kilometers per hour, Jung is poised to become one of the league's most exciting young talents.

Body Paragraphs: A key player in Jeonju High School's three national championship titles this year, Jung has already made a name for himself in Korean baseball. His dominant performance in the Cheongryong High School Baseball Championship, where he faced off against Masan Yongma High School, solidified his status as a top prospect. Despite his young age, Jung exudes maturity and a deep passion for the game.

"I feel a sense of responsibility now that I'm a professional," Jung said in an interview with Jeonbuk Ilbo. "I'm still getting used to the training environment, but I'm excited to start this new chapter in my career."

Before transferring to Jeonju High School, Jung was already considered a promising young pitcher. However, he made the decision to move to Jeonju to pursue his dream of becoming a professional baseball player. The school's excellent facilities and the guidance of head coach Joo Chang-hoon were major factors in his decision.

"Coach Joo personally visited me in Seoul to persuade me and my father," Jung explained. "I was impressed by the school's commitment to baseball and their state-of-the-art facilities."

Conclusion: With his exceptional talent and unwavering dedication, Jung Woo-ju is poised to make a significant impact on the KBO League. As he continues to develop his skills and gain experience, fans can look forward to watching him rise to stardom.
