[OSEN=조형래 기자] “My mother also said, ‘What’s wrong with you?'”
The NC Dinos of professional baseball were doing well in second place in the league. However, coach Kang In-kwon began to worry about the shortstop’s position. Although it was going smoothly, the poor performance of Kim Joo-won, who was not worried about him as the starting shortstop, worried me. Director Kang went so far as to say, “The concern about Kim Joo-won was something I hadn’t really thought about.” Currently, Kim Joo-won is unable to add strength to his offense with a batting average of 1.79 li (17 hits in 118 at-bats), 2 home runs, and an OPS of .606.
In the end, the atmosphere started to change from the Incheon SSG match on the 3rd. They started giving Kim Han-byeol a chance to be chosen. Hanbyul Kim started the game on the 3rd and created tension with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, and 2 runs. Although he felt disappointed with Kim Han-byul’s aggressive behavior, he was determined to run the rest of the season in competition with Kim Joo-won. However, Kim Han-byul also collapsed after being hit by a sand ball during the match on the 4th. In the top of the 7th inning, with 2 outs and 2nd base, he was hit by a baseball on his right finger and collapsed. First of all, Kim Han-byul is expected to be expelled from the team’s first entry.
The expectation is that there will be a change in the short comma position. The player who currently plays the best position in the second team will naturally be called up. There is a high possibility that a spot in the first team will go to Kim Se-hoon (19), who graduated from Gyeongbuk High School and entered with the 61st overall pick in the 7th round of this year’s rookie draft. After joining the team, he was converted into a training player and is expected to register as an official player on this day.
Kim Se-hoon was a bonus for NC. The pick received via trade led to a relationship with NC In 2023, Kim Se-hoon was selected with the 7th round pick received during the free agent Myung-ki Lee sign and trade.
At the time of the nomination, the NC scouting team said, “He is a player with good body movement and accurate hitting with a front step, and he is a hitter who can hit balls with innings evenly from the left and the right.” , “He is a player with good offensive, defensive and defensive skills and a stable defense.” The characteristics and background of the name were explained.
Although Kim Se-hoon has only played in 4 games, he is the player who shows the hottest hitting in the second team at the moment. In 4 games, he has a .500 batting average (9 hits in 18 at-bats), 3 RBI, and an OPS of 1.080. In the game against Sangmu on the 30th of last month, which was his second team debut, he went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI, and in the game against KT on the 3rd, he went 5-for-5 with 4 hits and 1 RBI. After performing well against KT on the 4th, the day before his first team call up, with 2 hits in 4 at-bats. Due to Kim Han-byeol’s injury, he was urgently called up to the first team.
Kim Se-hoon said about the recent hard hit, “I was even surprised. After joining NC, I adjusted the batting at home with Coach Cho Young-hoon and I think it suits me well. “It was the first time I had a 4-hit game,” he said “I never had anything like this even in high school, so my mom responded by saying, ‘What’s wrong with you?'”
He is the youngest at 174cm tall and weighs 77kg. Kim Se-hoon said, “I feel like I receive a lot of praise as the youngest because my older brothers often tell me that I’m doing well.” However, he does not let his guard down and is responsible for starting and ending the baseball field every day. He is said to be one of the players in the FC 2nd team who comes to work early and late.
At the same time, he tries to emulate Mookie Betts (LA Dodgers), who has a small body and plays the same shortstop position. He said, “I’ve been watching a lot of Mookie Betts videos since I changed my batting form. “I watch videos a lot because I want to learn that even though he is small, he has good contact ability and can hit long shots if hit correctly,” he said with a smile.
Kim Se-hoon is a positive and bright person who wants to help the team in the future and give hope to his family. He said, “I want to play a lot to help the team,” and he said, “My parents worked hard to support me, but now I want to be good at baseball and make them happy for the rest of their lives.”
