"I've stopped eating late at night." Out of the first team camp. He seeks to restore his reputation again.

Most of the SSG Landers' first team players are currently playing their first spring camp in Vero Beach, Florida. A total of 20 pitchers were named in the U.S. camp, but Kim Taek-hyung was excluded. Kim Taek-hyung is currently preparing for the season with the second-tier squad at Ganghwa Futures Field. The second-tier spring camp will also be held in Kagoshima, Japan from the 10th.

Kim Taek-hyung, who was discharged from the Sangmu Baseball Team in July last year, was evaluated as the best instant power among all players when he returned. That's why the season performance was so good just before he served in the military. He played an active role as the team's closing pitcher at the beginning of the 2022 season and also played a left-handed must-win role in the second half. And at that time, his team SSG won the Korean Series following the regular season.

But my body couldn't follow me as I thought. Shortly after returning to the team, he was registered in the first-team entry, but his ball was not complete and he also suffered an ankle injury. In the end, he didn't play the season properly and had to go through a rehabilitation process.

Kim Taek-hyung, who has recovered his physical condition now, is preparing for the new season in normal condition. "I'm hopeful because I'm in good shape," said Ryu Taek-hyun, a pitching coach at SSG. Currently, I am training to use my quickness and strength more when throwing a ball. I think that if you build your body well, your ball power will rise"Kim Taek-hyung is an experienced pitcher. If it takes its place in the first team, the burden on other bullpens will be reduced. In particular, Kim Taek-hyung's role is important because the first team needs a left-handed bullpen.'

Kim Taek-hyung conducted intensive weight training from December to January last year. I focused on my core and lower body, and I'm focusing on improving my condition from February. I'm trying to make my pitching form more efficient. "The body was too fast to load properly," he self-analyzed the problem, "It rotates a little more slowly so that it can load properly." He throws a lot of balls and keeps his balance", he explained.

I also lost weight. Kim Taek-hyung has reduced his weight by about 6kg. I stopped eating both late-night snacks and snacks. My body feels better, and I also have a desire to lose more weight. I intend to lose up to 10kg during the camp period."

The ankle injury has also recovered a lot now. Ankle pain was also a factor that could not be ignored due to the disturbance of the pitching balance.

"It was a pity that I couldn't go to the first-team camp. It was the first time"Kim Taek-hyung said, "But I was motivated to work harder in this situation." I also get motivated. I want to pull myself up from Kagoshima and join Okinawa 2nd camp"He expressed his greed and desire.

We need to recreate the glory of the 2022 season. Kim Taek-hyung said "It has to be different now. If you find your form when you're in a good mood, you'll be able to show your good selfI often watch videos of the 2022 season. It has a refreshing effect, and it's motivating. I'm training hard to recreate the glory again"I'm determined.
