Coincidentally, Ryu Hyun-jin (38, Hanwha Eagles) and Kim Kwang-hyun (37, SSG Landers) agreed. The two left-handed aces that dominated the era of Korean baseball did not mention the next generation of left-handed aces. In short, there is no native left-handed aces that can carry Korean baseball at this point in time.

Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Kwang-hyun appeared on Yoon Seok-min's YouTube channel "Cyber Yoon Seok-min," which retired on the 11th, and were asked by Yoon Seok-min to pick the next Ryu Yoon-Kim (Ryu Hyun-jin, Yoon Seok-min, and Kim Kwang-hyun). Then, Ryu Hyun-jin said No. 1 Ahn Woo-jin, No. 2 Won Tae-in, No. 3 Moon Dong-ju, and Kim Kwang-hyun said No. 1 Ahn Woo-jin, No. 2 Kwak Bin, No. 3 Moon Dong-ju.

In short, they named the top three pitchers in the Korean baseball league, now and in the near future. And they are all right-handed as if they had promised. When Yoon Seok-min said that there were no left-handed pitchers, Kim Kwang-hyun cautiously said, "I still lack objection."안전놀이터

As they pointed out, young right-handers can be found in each team little by little, and they also grow through domestic and international competitions. Although Ryu Yoon-Kim's aura is still lacking in the big frame, it is also true that it is gradually improving in all aspects, from ball speed to breaking quality, command and game management.

However, no team currently has a young left-handed ace. Lee still underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2024 and is currently rehabilitating, and even after returning this year, the first year of his return will be next year. Lee still had issues of control and command even before his illness. I think he needs to sort out these areas to a certain extent so that he can be included in the ace lineup. Of course, Kim did not mention the specific meaning of "not good enough."

Still, objection is precious. He is a left-handed fireballer. Kia plans to focus on 2026 and gradually help its team enter the main track. We have to wait and see if it can fulfill the virtues that ace pitchers need.

Before Ahn Woo-jin is called off in September, Koo Chang-mo (NC Dinos) will be discharged from the military on June 17. If he doesn't get sick, he is the best left-hander in Korean baseball. The consistency of performance is a proven pitcher than Lee Eui-ri. The problem is that he has rarely been sick. He is almost 30 years old, but he still hasn't met the regular innings. After being discharged from the military, it doesn't work that he is sick anymore.

Both NC and Korean baseball can live without getting sick. NC is agonizing over its starting lineup for this season. Realistically, Koo Chang-mo needs to come back and become Superman to compete in the semifinals. He needs to play in the national team often to receive recognition. The same applies to Lee.

Other than these, Chung Hyeon-woo (Kium Heroes), who ranks first overall in the 2025 rookie draft, is also interested. Although he has not even opened the lid yet, many say he is a perfect left-hander ace of all time. He has pitched at a high school level since his high school days.

He is a fireballer who sprays fastballs with speeds of around 150 kilometers, and his form is soft. He displayed fairly stable ball control, command, breaking ball capability and game management capability. Rumors say that if these areas are applied to some extent in the pro league, he could become the next Ryu Hyun-jin player. He should keep an eye on him with a long breath.
