Song Sung-moon is challenging the dream stage.

KBO announced on the 21st that it has requested the Major League Secretariat to post Song Sung-moon to 30 Major League teams at the request of the Kiwoom club.

Thirty Major League teams can negotiate contracts with Song Sung-moon from 8 a.m. on the 22nd (U.S. Eastern Time) to 5 p.m. on the 30th day, the day after the Major League Secretariat announced the posting, and if they sign a contract, they must pay the transfer fee under the Korea-U.S. player contract agreement to Kiwoom Heroes.




It is a choice that is not complacent in the present. Song Sung-moon signed a multi-year non-FA contract with Kiwoom in August, the highest ever for fielders. It was an exceptional condition to guarantee a full annual salary of 12 billion won for six years of contract period. Among non-FA multi-year contract fielders, it was the highest ever, exceeding Samsung Lions' Koo Ja-wook's 9 billion won (5 years, 3 billion won in separate options).

Song Sung-moon knocks on the Major League club with a dream bigger than the 12 billion won guaranteed immediately. If you sign a contract with a Major League club, the contract of 12 billion won with Kiwoom will be eliminated.

It's not a reckless choice. It is known that there is a major league club interested in Song Sung-moon. It's a good thing if the contract is signed, and even if you give up because there are no good conditions, there is no reason to give up the challenge with Song Sung-moon because you just have to continue the contract with Kiwoom.

If Song Sung-moon succeeds in advancing to the Major League, Kiwoom will produce its sixth big leaguer. Earlier, starting with Kang Jung-ho (Pittsburg Pirates) in 2015, Park Byung-ho (Minnesota Twins) in 2016, Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) in 2021, Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) in 2024, and Kim Hye-sung (LA Dodgers) in 2025 took the major leagues in turn.

Song Sung-moon, who joined the Heroes as the 49th in the fifth round of the second round of the 2015 rookie draft, has established himself as a key infielder for the team from the 2024 season. This season, he also achieved his first 20 home runs and 20 steals, along with a new record for the most consecutive stolen bases in the history of the KBO League.

Song also shone on the international stage. Song Sung-moon, who won the first national flag in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 last year, led the team as captain. This year, he also showed his presence by hitting a home run in a warm-up match against K-BASEBALL SERIES Japan.




Song Sung-moon played in 824 games in nine KBO league seasons and recorded a batting average of 0.283 with 818 hits in 2,889 at-bats, 80 homers, 454 RBIs, 410 runs and 51 steals.
