The person involved in the trade was canceled on the same day.

Two weeks have passed since the team moved.

KIA Tigers pitcher Kim Si-hoon and NC Dinos infielder Hong Jong-pyo were canceled on the 11th.




The main character included in the 3 to 3 trade between KIA and NC (Choi Won-jun, Lee Woo-sung, Hong Jong-pyo ↔ Kim Si-hoon, Han Jae-seung, and Jung Hyun-chang) announced on the 28th of last month.

Right-hander Kim Si-hoon, who was a must-winner with experience in finishing when he was in NC, was the center of this trade. Key player in KIA's decision to strengthen bullpen.

Right-handed left-handed all-weather infielder Hong Jong-pyo was selected as a player to revitalize the NC infield.




As expected, the two players were registered in the first team after the transfer.

Kim Si-hoon started from the 29th and Hong Jong-pyo from the 30th.

Was it as burdensome as expected. The soft landing was unsuccessful.

Kim Si-hoon has one win and a 5.06 ERA with three runs in five ⅓ innings in four games since his transfer. His record in 19 games this season was 18 runs in 21 ⅓ innings, with a 7.59 ERA.




It is not yet that he played a key role in the must-win group in the past. The speed of the fastball remains in the late 130km range to the early 140km range. In order to save the main weapon of breaking ball, such as a big curve, it is necessary to recover the fastball speed. I think we'll need a little more time.

In seven games he played in the NC uniform, Hong Jong-pyo only scored four points and had five strikeouts on 2-for-13 (0.154). He also recorded one error.

His record in 51 games this season is 14 points, one RBI and one stolen base with a batting average of 0.185. It is a slump that falls short of the overall performance. The team has been moved, but the awakening effect is still there.

As a result, the number of players remaining in the first team among the three-on-three trading parties was reduced to three players, NC Choi Won-joon and KIA Han Jae-seung.
