Hanwha Kim Seo-hyun’s growing pains, baby eagles dream of a higher emergency…”I want to make fans happy by growing up more”

Kim Seo-hyun (19, Hanwha) took the mound as a starting pitcher for the first time since his debut against Changwon NC on the 17th of last month. As the process was not smooth until he got the chance to select, he was also desperate. Although he took selection classes faithfully in the second division for about two months, there was anxiety at one side of his mind, “Will he be able to throw well?” He recalled a time when his pitch was good, and drew the image of “Seoul High School Kim Seo-hyun.” He wanted to regain his confidence in his skills, such as ball power and control. This was the reason why he took the mound with “eye patch” attached like a talisman under his eyes, just like in high school. 바카라사이트

I wanted to get the first button right. Perhaps because of that, I felt more nervous than usual. Actions that he did not normally do on the mound popped out, and he couldn’t hide his feelings that were shaking. Although he allowed one run, Kim Seo-hyun, who flexibly passed the first inning, shook sharply from the second inning. Control was another problem this time. After allowing four walks in the second inning, he was eventually replaced by the next pitcher with a disappointing performance, including three hits, four outs, one strikeout, and three runs in two innings. The next day, he was removed from the first-team list.

Kim Seo-hyun, who met at Hanwha’s second-tier training ground in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do on the 20th, said, “I thought I should throw it confidently like when I was a high school student who did well,” and looked back on the situation at the time, saying, “The catcher (Park) Sang-eon and (Choi) Jae-hoon said that it was much better to throw it while getting hit, so I tried to throw it while looking at the center, but it collapsed right away in the second inning.”

Kim Seo-hyun, who wore Hanwha’s uniform as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 KBO Rookie Draft, is a top prospect who throws fast balls of up to 150 kilometers per hour. Until May of the first half, he played as a key fighter for the team and showed off his talents to his heart’s content. However, in June, poor ball control came, and he eventually went down to the second division and devoted himself to training to zero. I also received selection classes from this time.

Kim Seo-hyun said, “I counted mainly on breaking balls rather than direct balls, but after it collapsed in June, I felt a professional wall.” He has not crossed this ‘wall’ yet, but he is seeking learning in the process of bumping into obstacles that have blocked him. Technically, various attempts are being made to find the optimal arm angle.

Kim Seo-hyun is running toward the end of the “Rookie Season,” which is highly regrettable as he had high expectations. He will soon welcome left-hander Hwang Joon-seo (Jang Chung-go), who was selected as the No. 1 player in the 2024 KBO Rookie Draft, as his junior. As another “special talent” joins the team, it is likely to cause impatience.

Kim Seo-hyun said, “It is important to move forward without losing what I have,” adding, “I will not care about good friends coming in, but I will think about how my juniors and I will grow together.”

Kim Seo-hyun, who was famous for his good fan service in the first team, did not forget to thank his fans. “I’ve received so many cheering messages from my fans. It felt like a reward for fan service, and it was a great boost, he said. “I want to show baseball next season that fans can always enjoy with more growth than now.”
