In the second round, the KT Wiz selected veteran hitter Choi Ji-man, who was bypassed by other teams due to concerns regarding his knee health.

Following these selections, the NC Dinos announced their draft results, having selected 12 players. Their first-round pick, outfielder Park Bo-seung, was taken sixth overall.
