"It's really good."

Kim Seo-hyun (21, Hanwha Eagles) stood in front of fans as a Futures All-Star in 2024.

Kim Seo-hyun, who joined Hanwha in the first round of the 2023 rookie draft (the first overall pick), has a fast ball of mid-to-late 150km/h, but has rarely established himself in the first team due to difficulties in controlling the ball.




Around the time of the Futures All-Star. Kim Seo-hyun is facing the turning point of his baseball career. Ahead of the All-Star Game, head coach Kim Kyung-moon was appointed as Hanwha's head coach and held a meeting with Kim Seo-hyun.

I told Kim Seo-hyun that I believe in him, and Kim Seo-hyun was able to end the long time of wandering, such as changing his pitching form.

This season, Kim Seo-hyun was reborn as the best closing pitcher in the league. He played in 42 games, recording a 1-1 record with 22 saves and a 1.55 ERA with one hold. Hanwha finished first in the first half as Kim Seo-hyun perfectly cracked down on the back door.

Kim Seo-hyun said, `There were many games that were not satisfactory. Some games had a lot of walks, and others had a bad record, although they blocked them"I had the pride of being the first-place finisher. Even when it didn't work out, I tried to overcome it by thinking about it."

Kim Seo-hyun has another title of honor. It topped the All-Star fan vote with 1,786,837 votes. It was an achievement in the third year of his professional debut.

Kim Seo-hyun said of attending the All-Star with the most votes, "Good. I don't know how to put it. It's really good," he said with a smile. "It doesn't feel real, and I didn't know it would be true."




Attending the Futures All-Star Game last year was a motivating moment for Kim Seo-hyun. Kim Seo-hyun said, `I thought I wanted to go to the Futures All-Star a year later as a Futures All-Star for one year last year. I thought I'd be a coach recommendation player even if I did, but it was so nice to win first place in the fan vote" smiled.

However, when the story of 'Best Performance' came out, Kim Seo-hyun laughed, "Don't expect it."

He also expressed his determination for a fierce ranking fight after the All-Star Game. Kim Seo-hyun finished the first half well. I'll work hard during the All-Star break so that I can stay in first place in the second half" he said.
