KIA Tigers' Kim Si-hoon showed a lower arrest than in previous years. However, he was able to use various pitches skillfully, giving him no hope.

Kim Si-hoon immediately started against Doosan in Gwangju on the 29th, the day after the transfer. Kim Si-hoon was known as a fastball pitcher, but he recorded a maximum of 142 kilometers on a fastball and allowed two runs in one ⅔ inning.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho expressed expectations for now. Manager Lee Bum-ho praised Kim Si-hoon ahead of the 2025 KBO League Doosan match at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 30th.




Director Lee Bum-ho said, `Now the speed seems to be definitely lower than in previous years. Instead, he is a pitcher who throws breaking balls and curve fork balls well. I definitely think there will be a point where the speed will rise."

Kim Si-hoon will wear the KIA uniform through a trade on the 28th. KIA carried out a 3-3 big deal with NC. KIA recruited pitcher Kim Si-hoon and Han Jae-seung and infielder Chung Hyeon-chang from NC. NC brought outfielder Choi Won-joon and Lee Woo-sung and infielder Hong Jong-pyo from KIA. KIA immediately gave up all-out fielders and transfused a young and promising pitcher.

Kim Si-hoon threw powerful fastballs over 150 kilometers in 2022 and 2023.

He played in 59 games in 2022, his debut season, and recorded a 3.24 ERA with 4 wins, 5 losses and 11 holds in 83 ⅓ innings. In 2023, he also recorded four wins, three losses and three saves in 52 ⅔ innings in 61 games.

Restrictions have gradually decreased since last year.

On Sunday's game, the fastball was also formed around 140 kilometers. His ability to control fork balls, sliders and curves at a fairly high level was outstanding.




Manager Lee Bum-ho said "He is a pitcher who can enter an important enough situation when his arrest comes up. He's a young player. It'd be nice if you could do well as soon as you came, but I'll wait for you," he said, calling for support.
