KIA Tigers rookie Kim Tae-hyung was the first starting pitcher in an exhibition game against the NC Dinos in the 2025 professional baseball league held at Changwon NC Park on the 10th. James Nail, who was originally scheduled to be the starting pitcher, expressed his desire to postpone his appearance. Rookie Kim Tae-hyung took the mound instead. It was a tense game in that it was his official debut game.바카라사이트
He allowed two hits, three walks and one run during two innings. He allowed his first batter, Son Ah-seop, to walk straight. He allowed a bunt hit to Park, but he threw a heavy fastball to lead Kim Seong-wook to a double play. However, he lost his first point after being hit by a critical hit by Han Jae-hwan. The catcher stopped Han Jae-hwan from stealing the second base to end the inning.
In the second inning, Park also allowed Do Tae-hoon to walk, facing a crisis with one out and runners on the first and second bases. Park Han-byul used sliders to throw fly balls to left field, and Kim Se-hoon threw fastballs towards his body, hitting ground balls to third base to prevent a run crisis. He threw nine sliders, four forks, and two curves centering on his fastballs (21). His maximum speed was 145 kilometers, all of which were over 141 kilometers.
It was regrettable that his ball control was shaky. Although he was evaluated as having stable management of the mound, he was not free from the pressure of his debut game. However, he clearly had the power of the ball. The bat was blocked and broke. The slider that fell to the bell was also impressive. There was also a positive factor that his ball control and speed would improve in the next game.
Ahead of the exhibition game against the NC Dinosaurs on Friday, Lee Bum-ho said, "I think he has quite good power to be subordinate to speed. Sun Bin and Chan-ho are also said to be more powerful than speed. If he is subordinate, he can display his ability as a starter. Even if he walks a lot, he can throw all kinds of pitches. His form is very stable. I will throw again."
Kim received the first-round pick. Coach Lee Bum-ho praised the team at the Okinawa closing camp in November last year, and vowed to give the team a chance to select the team. He completed the spring camp and is gaining experience in exhibition games. He was included in the competition to select players for the fifth time, but was excluded early on. Analysts say that the team needs supplementary training to select players for the first team just yet. After the exhibition games are over, he will move to the second team to receive training for selection.
It could be a slow start compared to other teams' first-rounders. Expectations are widespread that Chung Hyeon-woo, the No. 1 overall pick, will play a key role in the starting lineup by pitching three perfect innings against NC. Bae Seung-chan, a left-hander of the Samsung Group, is set to enter the group to win the title with his strong pitching, while Kim Young-woo of the LG Twins has been selected as the closing pitcher. Jung Woo-joo of the Hanwha Eagles has also displayed his presence.
It is just the beginning. Even if the team starts late, the team may arrive early. Manager Lee also said, "I take him to trial games. It is also an experience to see the mound everywhere. I was nervous because it was my first time. If you step on the mound and throw more, you will get used to it and get better. Then, if you lose the starting player, you may be able to enter right away." Kim's potential is endless, so he expressed his intention to build up his strength step by step without rushing.
