'Super Trade Hero' Doosan Bears' Kim Min-seok continued his hit streak before the exhibition game.

Kim Min-seok started as the first batter and left fielder in the 2025 KBO League exhibition game against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium on the 13th, recording one hit in four at-bats, continuing his high-sensitivity hitting. The team lost 1-4, but Kim Min-seok hit in all five exhibition games. It made Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop smile.

Doosan acquired the treasure in a trade.




Doosan made a two-to-three big deal with Lotte in November last year. Doosan sent relief pitcher Jung Chul-won, a former rookie of the year, and infield utility Jeon Min-jae. Doosan brought Kim Min-seok, a quasi-state outfielder Choo Jae-hyun, and Choi Woo-in, a promising pitcher, from Lotte.

Kim Min-seok showed signs of being a "jackpot" from the training camp. Kim Min-seok was named the best player in Doosan's second spring camp held in Miyazaki, Japan, in February.

Even after entering the exhibition game, he went 6 for 16 in 4 games until the match against Samsung on the 11th, hitting a .375 batting average. Kim Min-seok struggled until his third at-bat against KIA on the day, but he added a hit in the final at-bat.




Manager Lee Seung-yeop did not hide his satisfaction.

Director Lee Seung-yeop said "(Kim) Min-seok is doing as much as I expected. In fact, in terms of defense, we are doing better than we thought. I'll have to see him when I meet a difficult left-handed pitcher, but he's doing better than I thought so far," he repeatedly praised.

Kim Min-seok seems to have almost confirmed Doosan's new leadoff position. He is taking steps to succeed Jung Soo-bin, who he has always revealed as a role model. The link between No. 9 Jung Soo-bin and No. 1 Kim Min-seok is very structured.

Director Lee Seung-yeop said, `I want to keep testing Min-seok as number one. (Jung) Subin also has to lead the defense in the outfield. We have to steal a lot, so considering the physicality and various factors, Subin expects our team to be better if he plays a role in connecting the lower lineup"I drew an ideal scenario.

Coach Lee left open the possibility, saying, `No decision has been made yet, but I will check while watching the exhibition game until the end.'
