Kim Seo-hyun, the number one pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles, surprised everyone by setting a goal of 50 saves. This is because the record for most saves in a season in the KBO League is 47, so 50 saves means that he will write a new league record soon.
Kim Seo-hyun revealed the behind-the-scenes story when the 50 save remark came out at the time. Kim Seo-hyun, who said, “At first, I said 30 saves, but people around me asked if it was small, so I said 50 saves,” said Kim Seo-hyun, “If I go up to the first team this year, even if I can’t make 50 saves, I want to try as close as possible.” said. He is so full of confidence. Hanwha coach Carlos Subero also expressed expectations, saying메이저사이트 , “A young player must have a spirit. Seohyun Kim is a player who will help Korean baseball after adapting to the pros.”
Kim Seo-hyun is a pitcher who spreads the ball in both three quarters and sidearm. He can confuse hitters because he suddenly changes his arm height depending on the situation. He doesn’t change arm height to throw a specific pitch. “He throws a fastball, a two-seam, a slider, a changeup, a forkball, a splitter,” he said. No one told me or coached me, I made it all by myself.
Kim Seo-hyun said, “I like to play with the ball, so I threw something that worked well in a match. If it didn’t work, I didn’t throw it right away, but it worked well.” “In the case of the slider, I was so bad that I tried to catch it like the pros were throwing it, but it was unfortunate. Then I found it by myself. But it’s going well, so I’m writing it.”
The opportunity to throw with a sidearm also became a challenge. “He did it when he was playing catch, but he didn’t miss his pitch and went accurately and threw it in real life,” he said casually. For pitchers who work hard to improve his form, Kim Seo-hyun can be said to be an outlier.
He also throws a lot on the mound. He dazzles batters by switching to three-quarters and sidearms, throwing intervals at short intervals. Kim Seo-hyun laughed, saying, “I try to make the game easy. When I throw an irregularity, I suddenly think of it and do it. As a result, it is rather difficult for the catcher to catch it.”
He described himself as a bullpen pitcher. Kim Seo-hyun, who said, “In high school, there were more cases of starting in the middle rather than starting,” said Kim Seo-hyun, “I think it’s better to block from behind because it seems that I can’t drag it for a long time after starting as a starter.”
Will the day come when Seohyun Kim makes 50 saves? At that time, I am curious about Hanwha’s performance.
