Doosan Bears' Kim Min-hyuk missed another golden opportunity in the first division. Kim Min-hyuk was registered in the second division entry on the 7th. The club only gave Kim a chance for four days. If it's short, it's a short period, but Kim Min-hyuk couldn't show anything, either. He went 0-for-7 with one walk in four games. When the results did not come out at bat, he returned to a swing without confidence, eventually leading to the expiration of the first-team entry after the exclusion of the starter.
Acting Doosan manager Cho Sung-hwan led the team from the match against the KIA Tigers in Jamsil on the 3rd, signaling an infinite competition. Like Kim Min-hyuk, he called up a large number of young prospects who were only looking for the opportunity to come up to the first team by sweating beads in the second division. Kim Dong-joon, Park Joon-soon, Lee Sun-woo, and Yeo Dong-gun got a chance with Kim Min-hyuk.
Acting coach Cho gave Kim Min-hyuk the priority to play first base. Yang Seok-hwan, who was the main first baseman, has decided to spend at least 10 days reorganizing in the second division. If Kim Min-hyuk showed just one possibility that he could work in the first team, he could have created enough justification to remain in the first team even if Yang Suk-hwan returned. Kim Min-hyuk also proved his good batting sense with a batting average of 0.357 (41 hits in 115 at-bats), five home runs and 30 RBIs in 38 Futures League games this year.
Acting head coach Cho said "Kim Min-hyuk, of course, had his team's situation, but I don't think I've seen it for a few days. If we want to make a judgment, I thought we should keep watching at least a few at-bats. He is a player who continues to have possibilities, and he should be able to understand himself, and we need a little more time. I'm going to give Kim Min-hyuk that few days to come to this conclusion that it's done now.'

He was also coldly behind Kim Dong-joon in the competition. Kim Dong-joon is a corner outfielder and first baseman. Kim Dong-joon joined Doosan in the 9th place in the second round of the 2022 Rookie Draft. Kim Tae-hyung, the current Lotte Giants coach who led Doosan when Kim Dong-joon joined the team, was so talented that he praised it, saying, `It's like watching Kim Dong-ju.' Kim Dong-joon spent longer preparing for the second division due to his weak defense, and when he got a chance in the first division with Kim Min-hyuk this time, he made a tremendous result of 6 hits in 10 at-bats, 1 home run and 2 RBIs. With Doosan in need of an entry adjustment, Kim Min-hyuk was eventually forced to be pushed out.
Kim Min-hyuk is a player who graduated from Gwangju Dongseong High School and joined Doosan in the 16th place in the second round of the rookie draft in 2015 and was called the next No. 4 hitter. A player with the talent of Uta big guns that Doosan has always wanted to raise. The club is still waiting for Kim Min-hyuk to take the opportunity without giving up even after his 11th year as a member.
However, when he comes to the first team, he cannot fully demonstrate his talents, so only sad times are passing by. Kim Min-hyuk has a batting average of 0.220 (47 hits in 214 at-bats) in 118 games in the first team.
