He was buried in a very disappointing loss, but Kim Tae-hoon showed off his presence once again.

Kim Tae-hoon started in left field in Game 3 of the playoffs against Hanwha at Lions Park in Daegu on the 21st.

It was left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin, but Samsung manager Park Jin-man said before the game, `Because the hitting condition and flow are good, left-handed pitchers come out, but it was better to keep them as they are. It was organized the same as in the first and second games."




Kim Tae-hoon flew well in the first and second playoff games. In the first game, he made a home run to Ponce and a hit to Kim Seo-hyun, and played 2 hits and 1 RBI in 4 at-bats. In the second game, he made a multi-hit game against Weiss and played his first three-hit game since his debut.

Five hits in nine at-bats for the first and second games. He is an excellent performer in the lineup.

an unstoppable swing against top-flight pitchers. Why are you so good all of a sudden.

It is not an accidental rediscovery. The full bloom period has only been delayed. Originally, he had a talent for hitting. A former batting champion in the second division, he has the power and sophistication to hit 58 home runs in the second division.

Anxiousness caught the ankle in the opportunity.

"It's not working because I try to do better if I don't get a result when I have fewer chances, and I feel more disappointed when I don't get a result, and it's just a strikeout, but I think I fell in love with it because I looked for too many problems. It's not enough, but it's a little simpler now."

A change of mind is read in a simple and confident swing. The more you try to do well, the more you go the other way. The same goes for baseball and life. There were grateful people who held me firmly whenever I shook.

"It's been very hard this season. During the season, I was under a lot of stress because of Lee Seok-seong. "I even thought about quitting baseball, but my parents, my wife, KT Sang-cheol, Min-seop, and my team, Hun-gon, had a lot of help around me, so I was able to endure it."

KT brothers pressed Kim Tae-hoon, who was only nice. Kim Heon-gon gave deep advice like a mentor in baseball and life. Jeon Byung-woo, the older brother next to the locker room, also gave advice whenever he had time.

"Sangcheol and Minseop didn't say good things, but said it strongly. "He learned a lot about life as well as his attitude toward baseball, and Byung-woo delivered his know-how."

The presence of parents and wife is a big support that kept Kim Tae-hoon going.

"My parents helped me a lot when I was at KT, and now my wife is helping me a lot."

Newlywed couple married less than a year ago in December last year. Father Han Young-shin is an energy source that wisely and bravely saves and wraps her husband's energy.

"We're having a match, so they told us to keep focusing until the end. Don't show what you like and do the same thing… I purposely don't say anything special because I'm in the series, but the day after the first round was canceled, he said 'Get out your phone three beard' (laughs). I support you too, but I really like the team to win. Tell him to cheer up in the dugout even if he doesn't get a hit, and to change quickly and go out and cheer up even if he runs and falls out."

A real Kim Tae-hoon fan, and a real Samsung fan, wife. Kim Tae-hoon is on the ground again today after receiving overflowing energy and love. This is the secret of an unstoppable full swing without hesitation.
