Men who challenge 160km are born superstars, but now they are only second-year pitchers on the professional stage.
A heart-shaking moment came to a 20-year-old rookie. One day, a phone call on his cell phone, 'Director', came up when three letters appeared.
The age difference between Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon, born in 1958, and Kim Seo-hyun in 2004 is 46 years. a difference beyond one's father's. Kim Seo-hyun's hand that picks up his cell phone can shake.
The 2024 Futures All-Star Game was held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 5th. Kim Seo-hyun went to a fan meeting event to guide fans to pitch ahead of the All-Star Game. Kim Seo-hyun, who met with reporters, said "It's my first time coaching." I did the best I could"I was embarrassed.
"A lot of people are supporting me, so I feel more energized than usual. I can't say I'm a first-team player yet, but I want to show my fans a better performance on the bigger All-Star Game stage next time."

Kim Seo-hyun "The director called me on my way home. 'You did a great job today. "How was it when you came up to the mound?" So I said I was a little nervous," he said with a smile. Head coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `My ball speed has improved a lot. I hope he throws it confidently now, and encourages him.
Coach Kim Kyung-moon said he would eat with Kim Seo-hyun shortly after taking office, and even if he did not make the first-team entry, he would continue to accompany him and watch.
"Honestly, I didn't expect to keep accompanying the first team. I went up for a while because of the doubleheader, and I thought I would go back to Seosan right away...He said, 'I want to see you work out.'" I think it's a reward for the attention shown by the director."

Kim Seo-hyun said, `I want to recover my poor performance in the second half. I want to talk a lot with the new director and coach and show you a lot of myself," he stressed.
His pitching form is similar to his high school days. This is also the result of head coach Kim Kyung-moon's advice to throw as you please.
Kim Seo-hyun "I wandered around a lot and now I'm settled again. Now I feel like I've found the answer. "Now I'm going to walk straight," he stressed.
