KIA has confirmed the list of participants in the closing camp to be held at Okinawa Gin Stadium in Japan from the 4th to the 28th. Kim Tae-hyung, who was selected in the first round of the 2025 KBO Rookie Draft, was listed on the camp participation list along with his classmates such as Park Jae-hyun, Park Heon, Na Yeon-woo, Yang Soo-ho, Choi Gun-hee, and Junhyun Im.
Kim Tae-hyung, a right-hander, played a great role as an ace in Deoksu High School. During his three years in high school, he pitched 115 ⅓ innings in 40 games with a 2.11 ERA, 42 walks-136 strikeouts, and a WHIP (on-base allowance per inning) of 0.93. As he is evaluated as a pitcher with excellent ball control, including a fastball of up to 150km or more, expectations for his debut next year are rising.
Kia has formed a team of 31 players, including Kim Tae-hyung and seven rookies.
Meanwhile, pitcher Kim Dae-yu Lee Joon-young, fielder Choi Hyung-woo, Kim Sun-bin, Seo Geon-chang, Lee Chang-jin, Park Chan-ho, Lee Woo-sung, and trainer coach Park Joon-seo will leave for Kagoshima, Japan from the 4th to the 8th.
