Kiwoom Heroes Kim Hye-sung's challenge has begun. First of all, leaving for the United States was the beginning. He boarded a flight to the U.S. on the 29th.
Kim Hye-sung played for Kiwoom for seven years until this season and was eligible to apply for posting. Kim Hye-sung, who had already officially announced after last season that he would play until this year and try to advance to the U.S. Major League. It was surprising to sign a management contract with CAA, the agent of superstar Ohtani (LA Dodgers), during this season.
This year, he showed an unwavering performance. He has a batting average of 326, 11 homers, 75 RBIs, and 30 steals. Throughout this season, major league scouts came to Kim Hye-sung's stadium and watched his play.
Currently, interest in Kim Hye-sung is also hot in the U.S. Kim Hye-sung is suitable for teams with good contact ability and who want a fast second baseman. The Seattle Mariners are being mentioned as a potential destination candidate. In fact, Seattle did not have a proper second base, and it was also the club that came to see Kim Hye-sung the most this year. It is a team that Legend Ichiro played for, and there are many Korean fans in the western region, so they are active in recruiting Asian players. Lee Dae-ho also played for Seattle, and Choo Shin-soo's first team was also Seattle.
First of all, you have to run into the enemy camp to achieve your dream. Kim Hye-sung left for LA on the afternoon of the 29th. Kiwoom apologized for failing to announce the departure schedule in advance, saying, `Kim Hye-sung's side made a request to leave the country in a calm atmosphere ahead of the posting application.'
When Kim Hye-sung arrives in LA, he will focus on training at the training site prepared by CAA Sports. The date for applying for posting has not yet been confirmed, and the club has already prepared all the documents needed to apply for posting.
If Kim Hye-sung goes to the Major League, Kiwoom's fifth big leaguer could be born after Kang Jung-ho, Park Byung-ho, Kim Ha-sung and Lee Jung-hoo.
