Cho Young-Hun or Jo Young-Hoon (Korean: 조영훈; Hanja: 趙煐勳; born November 12, 1982) is a South Korean former first baseman, who played 11 seasons in the KBO League with the Samsung Lions, Kia Tigers, and NC Dinos. He bats and throws left-handed.

Amateur career

While attending Sokcho Commerce High School in Gangwon Province, Cho was considered one of the top high school hitting pitchers nationwide along with Choo Shin-soo and Lee Dae-ho. As the team's ace and cleanup hitter Cho led Sokcho Commerce High School, considered underdogs, to the quarterfinals at the Blue Dragon Flag National Championship and the President's Cup National Championship in 2000. In the same year Cho was selected for the South Korean Junior National Team. The team won the 2000 World Junior Baseball Championship in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Cho led the attack alongside Lee Dae-ho, Choo Shin-soo, Kim Tae-kyun and Jeong Keun-woo.

Upon leaving high school, Cho was selected 19th overall by the Samsung Lions at the 2001 KBO Draft, but decided to play college baseball at Konkuk University. In his junior year at Konkuk University in 2003, Cho helped his team to win the Fall League of the National Collegiate Championship earning MVP honors with the batting title.
