Lotte Giants rookie Kim Tae-hyun (20) will make his first appearance in the first division.

Lotte made an entry change ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 14th.

Catcher Information-geun, pitcher Kim Tae-hyun and outfielder Han Seung-hyun were called up, while pitcher Song Jae-young, catcher Son Sung-bin and outfielder Kim Dong-hyuk were excluded from the entry.




Left-hander Kim Tae-hyun, who was named the first round of the rookie draft in 2025 (fourth overall), will take the first stage for the first time.

Kim Tae-hyun, who graduated from Seorim Elementary School, Jinheung Middle School, and Gwangju Jeil High School, was evaluated as a starting member. The speed is not fast in the early and mid 140km range, but it was evaluated that he knew how to run the game.

He built himself in the first-team spring camp, and posted an ERA of 0 in two ⅓ in two exhibition games. It was highly anticipated, but the beginning was Futures.




Kim Tae-hyun, who played in six games in the Futures League, had a 3.26 ERA in 19 ⅓ innings. He recently started, and his recent appearance was good with four hits, two walks, four strikeouts and one run in six innings against KT on the 1st.
