The Major League Secretariat announced Kim Hye-sung's posting on the 5th (Korea Standard Time). Kim Hye-sung can negotiate with 30 Major League teams by the 4th of next month. Kim Hye-sung showed a strong will to challenge the U.S. when she signed an agent contract with CAA Sports, a global agency, in June. CAA Sports is well known as the agency of Major League Baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers).
Kiwoom enjoyed sending Lee Jung-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants) to the United States as a posting system ahead of this season. Lee Jung-hoo successfully signed a six-year, $113 million contract with San Francisco in December last year. It was the highest treatment ever for an Asian beast. Kiwoom received $18.825 million (about 27 billion won) from San Francisco for posting.
Kiwoom consistently exported players to the Major League before Lee Jung-hoo with the posting system. Before Lee Jung-hoo, there were Kang Jung-ho (retired), Park Byung-ho (Samsung Lions), and Kim Ha-sung (FA). Kang Jung-ho signed a four-plus-one-year $16.5 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead of the 2015 season, and Park Byung-ho signed a four-plus-one-year $18.5 million contract with the Minnesota Twins ahead of the 2016 season. Kim Ha-sung signed a four-plus-one-year, $39 million deal with San Diego ahead of the 2021 season.
Kang Jung-ho recorded 5,002,015 dollars (about 7.1 billion won), Park Byung-ho recorded 12,85 million dollars (18.4 billion won), and Kim Ha-sung recorded 5,525,000 dollars (about 7.9 billion won), respectively. Including Lee Jung-hoo, Kiwoom earned $42,201,015 (about 60.7 billion won) from four posting expenses alone. This year, Kim Hye-sung will also add to the housekeeping.

Kim Hye-sung graduated from Dongsan High School and joined the Heroes in the second round in 2017. He has more defensive value as a second baseman than a shortstop, and has hit .300 every year since 2021. The KBO's overall performance is 953 games, a batting average of 0.304 (1,043 hits in 3,433 times at bat), an on-base percentage of 0.364, a slugging percentage of 0.403, 37 home runs, and 386 RBIs. He first possessed the Golden Glove as a shortstop in 2021, and won the Golden Glove in the second baseman category for the third consecutive year from 2022 to this year.
Regarding Kim Hye-sung, the U.S. sports media 'The Athletic has a very high groundball ratio of 60%. He also needs to increase his slugging power further. Kim Ha-sung, his former Kiwoom teammate, went through a pretty tough adjustment process shortly after coming to the Major League, hitting 30 home runs in the KBO League in the season just before entering the big leagues, recording a much higher batting index than Kim Hye-sung. Kim Hye-sung said, 'If we want to take the main second base in the Major League, we need to adapt to the batting and increase our power.'"
On the 14th, the U.S. baseball magazine 'Baseball America' produces strong hits even though it is difficult to hit a home run. He can steal more than 30 bases every year, enabling aggressive baserunning. He positively evaluated that he can become a main second baseman who produces hits and stolen bases above average.
MLB Network's John Morosi announced the Seattle Mariners on the 5th that `one of the clubs interested in Kim Hye-sung' and MLB.com 's Mark Finesand introduced Seattle as a club that would suit Kim Hye-sung. Twelve days later, no further advanced reports have yet been released here. Negotiations must catch fire before Christmas so that the contract can be completed with confidence within the posting period.
