SSG Landers officially announced on the 7th that it had traded outfielder Kim Sung-wook with the NC Dinos on the condition of handing over 50 million won in cash and a rookie designation right in the fourth round in 2026. The trade was pushed to secure power as soon as he could play all positions in the outfield, including center field. SSG plans to reinforce its outfield depth and expand player management.
Kim Sung-wook is an experienced outfielder who joined the NC Dinos as the 32nd overall in the third round in 2012 and played in 971 games in his career, batting .237, 78 homers, 293 RBIs and 64 steals. In particular, he showed good performance with a batting average of 0.272, five home runs and 34 hits at SSG Landers Field in Incheon.
In addition, he proved his slugging power with three career double-digit home runs, a personal record of 17 home runs and 60 RBIs in the 2024 season, and is a multi-position resource that stably plays center field defense as well as left and right fielder with fast maintenance and strong throwing power.
SSG expects Kim Sung-wook's rich hands-on experience, slugging power, wide range of defense, and quick feet to help strengthen the outfield's competitiveness. In addition, it is expected that the diversity of game management strategies will be increased by expanding the range of players in terms of being right-handed hitters and easing the physical burden of existing outfielders.
Meanwhile, Kim Sung-wook is scheduled to join the SSG squad after the game on the 7th.
