Bong Jung-keun (Hangul: 봉중근; Korean pronunciation: [poŋ.dʑuŋ.ɡɯn]; born July 15, 1980) is a South Korean professional baseball player who has played in Major League Baseball with the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds and is now playing in South Korea for the LG Twins in the KBO League. He bats and throws left-handed.
Bong is often considered one of the greatest hitting pitchers in Korean high school baseball history. While attending Shinil High School in Seoul, he was a highly regarded five-tool player and control pitcher in the Korean High School baseball league, playing as the team's 3rd batter and No.1 starter.
In September 1996, as a freshman at Shinil High School, Bong was named the Best Pitcher in the 50th Golden Lion Flag National High School Baseball Championship, taking 4 of the team's 5 wins. As the team's leadoff hitter, he batted .353 with 6 hits in 17 at-bats.
In May 1997, Bong led his team to its national title at the 52nd Blue Dragon Flag National High School Baseball Championship, going 11-for-16 with 9 RBIs as a batter and racking up 3 wins as a starting pitcher. He won batting (.688), RBI and wins titles, and was unanimously named the tournament MVP.
