There's no more bird's chest. The preliminary FA jackpot seems to be visible.

Hanwha Eagles Kim Bum-soo (30) is the main character. He also shone in the regular season, but he is showing off his presence even more in the playoffs.

Kim Bum-soo took the mound as Hanwha's second pitcher in the bottom of the fourth inning of Game 4 of the playoffs against the Samsung Lions on the 22nd.

Starting Jung Woo-joo was responsible for three ⅓ innings with bold pitches that were not like rookies, and went down the mound in 67 pitches. He caught the first batter, Koo Ja-wook, but when Diaz allowed a hit, the replacement was made.

With one out and one on the first base, Kim Bum-soo's opponent was none other than Kim Young-woong, the hottest hitter of the playoffs.

On this day, Kim Young-woong recorded three hits in four at-bats. He hit a double in his first at-bat in the second inning, and in the sixth and seventh innings, he fired a series of three consecutive at-bats that made a tie and a turnaround, heating up Daegu Lions Park. In this playoff alone, he has three home runs and nine hits and 12 RBIs in 14 at-bats.

In Game 4 of the playoffs between Hanwha and Samsung held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd, Kim Bum-soo, with two outs and runners on second base, cheers by blocking Park Byung-ho with a strikeout, not out in the bottom of the fourth inning.

But Kim Bum-soo couldn't get over it. Kim Bum-soo combined a fastball, a curve, and a slider to strike out Kim Young-woong in the seventh inning after a full count match.

Samsung, which was trailing 0-1 until the end of the fourth inning, put in Park Byung-ho as a pinch hitter in the judgment that turning points were needed. Kim Bum-soo allowed Diaz to advance to second base with a wild pitch, but he also struck out Park Byung-ho with a 140km folk ball and made Hanwha's dugout enthusiastic with a fierce jumping ceremony.

As a result, Kim Bum-soo of the playoffs has taken the mound in three games and played two ⅓ innings, recording one save with two holds. He has three walks, but he didn't allow any hits instead.

Kim Bum-soo, who overcame last year's slump, has been reborn as a must-win group this year. In the regular season, he played 48 innings in 73 games, winning 2-1 with two saves and six holds and an ERA of 2.25, playing as a member of Hanwha's back door.

Recently, more pitchers have thrown 150km fastballs, but 150km left-handers are still valuable. If Kim Bum-soo, who will become an FA after the season, is shown to be zeroed in the fall stage following the regular season, the ransom of Kim Bum-soo, who will become an FA after the season, is expected to rise further.
