'What a big hit this is?' Compensation athlete Han Hyun-hee turns into a 158km light speed side arm...Even the marked headdress 'Surprised'

Kiwoom Heroes general manager Ko Hyung-wook, who watched the 2024 KBO Futures All-Star Game held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 5th, was caught in the ear. This is because of Sangmu sidearm pitcher Lee Kang-joon. Why am I happy about a player wearing a different team uniform? There is a story.
Lee Kang-joon was the biggest beneficiary of this Futures All-Star Game. It's a sidearm, but I shot a maximum speed of 158 kilometers. In a world where it is rare for an overhand power feature to throw 158km, both eyes were bound to widen.
It wasn't a coincidence that a ball came in quickly. Most of the fastballs were in the mid-150km range. So the viewers were more surprised.
Then, why was Ko happy. It's because he's a Kiwoom player soon. Lee Kang-jun is currently serving in the military at Sangmu. It will be discharged from the military in November. He will return to Kiwoom next year.
There are not many fans who know if they are Kiwoom players. Joined KT Wiz in 2020, wore a Lotte Giants uniform through a summer 2021 trade. And just before joining the army last year, he was pointed out as a compensation player for FA Han Hyun-hee. It is an unfamiliar name to fans as the number of games played in the first team is only 32.
Originally, he was not a player who threw 158 kilometers. What the hell happened.

Why did such a good player receive the 2nd and 3rd round nomination at the time and live a wandering life as soon as he joined the team. It's ball control after all. I want the ball I have because I like it, but the club I have is a case of not using it properly for ball control insecurity.
Then, why did General Manager Ko choose Lee Kang-joon. "I knew he would throw a ball over 150 kilometers if he went from the professional," Ko said. I knew the control problem, but it wasn't a complete collapse. The movement is very good. It's not easy for these pitchers to catch control of the ball. For such a player, I decided that my control was not bad", he explained.
Then, did he expect Ko to turn into a 158-km pitcher. The late chief said "Absolutely not. I was also surprised" and laughed "It seems that various factors have led to increased confinement, such as working out a lot on the table and receiving coaching that suits you." The sudden increase in the pitcher's speed cannot be explained for one or two reasons. It's a very complex thing."
