Will he finally be able to get rid of the "promising stock" label? Kim Seok-hwan, a promising left-handed pitcher of the KIA Tigers, is expected to receive an opportunity for the time being.카지노사이트
Kim Seok-hwan started as the fourth batter and right fielder in a practice game against the Hanwha Eagles at Keen Baseball Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 25th and recorded one hit and one walk in three at-bats.
Kim Seok-hwan drew a walk off Hanwha starter Um Sang-baek at the bottom of the first inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, when KIA was leading 1-0. He failed to score a run due to his inability to catch a follow-up hit. He adjusted his batting performance by hitting a ground ball to the first base at the second batter's box, and appeared as the leadoff batter at the third batter's box at the bottom of the fourth inning, drawing a sharp hit to right field at the 3-1 count. Again, he failed to hit a follow-up hit, and thus failed to make it to the home ground. He struck out at the fourth batter's box at the bottom of the ninth inning. He also displayed good defense.
"[Kim] Seok-hwan seems to have improved a lot in defense as well. He seems to be all the more desperate as he changes his posture in offense as well. He seems to be desperate, saying, 'I need to do better, I want to do better, and there are no foreign players in the outfield, so I should try it.'"
"When desperation is in sight, it would be nice to have a match and gain confidence," Lee said. "I think we should start while starting so that we can look for those things. If Seok-hwan is good in the outfield, he can produce good results. I am preparing to use more when I am at a stage where I can gain confidence and improve," Lee said. "I will give him a chance in the future."
Kim Seok-hwan was the 24th in the third round of the second and third round of the 2017 Rookie Draft, which marked Kia's uniform. KIA believed that Kim Seok-hwan will be responsible for the team's central batting line in the future. Former second division coach Park Heung-sik also nicknamed Kim the "second Lee Seung-yeop." However, he has not displayed consistent performance in the first division. He received the most opportunities with 51 games in 2022, with 14 hits, three homers and a batting average of 0.149 OPS of 0.518. In 2023, he had only three hits in 12 games, and failed to appear in the first division games in 2024.
He was bound to be labeled as unfinished business. In the Futures League, he hit a batting average of nearly 300, had a on-base percentage of 40%, and a slugging percentage of 500. In 2023, he displayed impressive performance with 82 hits, 18 homers, 73 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.307 OPS of 0.986 in 79 games. He dominated the Southern League and became the two-time home run and RBI champion.
The team is displaying bolder performance than before in practice games. At a practice game against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp on Sunday, he hit a two-run homer with runners on first and third base at the top of the eighth inning. He also swung his bat at the 3-1 count of hits against Hanwha. It can be interpreted that he will take aim at the advantageous count.
This year marks the 26th season of Kim Seok-hwan. He has reached an age where he can break the mold of a rising star. Will he be able to make a leap to become a main player based on his desperation.
