If Kim Dong-yeop explodes, will the Kiwoom Heroes really be able to complete 'Hackline'.
It was a day of possibility. Kiwoom lost 3-5 in a practice game against the Zhongxin Brothers of Taiwan professional baseball at Pingdong Stadium in Taiwan on the 25th.
The game was lost, but it wasn't without income. This is because Kim Dong-yeop, a veteran of tears, satisfied head coach Hong Won-ki with two long balls.
Kim Dong-yeop, who started as the seventh-designated hitter on the day, reported a double in his first at-bat in the top of the second inning, and then hit another tying double in the fourth inning with one out and a first base chance when his team was trailing 2-3.
Kim Dong-yeop faced a crisis of ending his career, but managed to join hands with Kiwoom. He was notified of his release by the Samsung Lions, and Kiwoom, who wanted to strengthen his slugging power, offered him a one-year contract of 50 million won per year.

In the end, he needed a troubleshooter role in long balls such as home runs and chances. It wasn't a home run, but it was a valuable double. In front of No. 7 Kim Dong-yeop, Kiwoom started Puig-Cardines-Song Sung-moon-Choi Joo-hwan-Lee Joo-hyung-Kim Gun-hee. The top batting order is the strongest firepower that no team envies. On top of that, if Kim Dong-yeop shows only 20 home run pace, Kiwoom's batters can exert a scary power that no one can ignore.
Kim Dong-yeop said, `The two doubles recorded today are of great personal significance. I once again felt that the results could vary depending on my mindset."I was a little impatient in the previous game, but Oh Yoon, the batting coach and his teammates encouraged me to do it without any pressure." I was able to produce a good result," he said.
It's my first time to have a camp in Taiwan, and it hasn't been long since I came over from the United States, so I felt a little heavy until last week, but fortunately, I'm getting better," he said of his physical condition.
Finally "There are many young players on our team, so the atmosphere is bright and energetic. Thanks to you, I'm having fun training at the camp"As I know the role I want in the team, I will prepare thoroughly before the season to meet my expectations."I'm determined.
