'In general, he is a mid-level prospect in the top 30 teams' rankings.'

Major League Trade Rumors (MTR), a media that specializes in the Major League transfer market, provided a realistic evaluation of Song Sung-moon (Kium). Although it is an infield utility with an advantage in attack power, the inability to see shortstop was pointed out as a fatal weakness.

MTR introduced Song Sung-moon to challenge Major League Baseball through the posting system. We took a closer look at Song Seong-moon based on the scouting report analyzed by the statistical site 'Pangraph'.

Song Sung-moon requested the MLB Secretariat to post on the 21st. Negotiations with all major league teams are possible for 30 days from 8 a.m. on the 22nd Eastern time.

MTR is '29-year-old Song Sung-moon is a left-handed hitter who played for the Kiwoom Heroes for nine seasons. He's come a long way at bat in the last two years. Song Sung-moon had a 10.5% walk rate and 14.9% strikeouts. The strikeout rate is excellent.'

The Fangraph gave Song 45 points. The familiar comparison groups are Cody Ponce (50), Kim Do-young (45+), Moon Dong-ju (40), and Kang Baek-ho (40).

MTR is 'Fangraph's FV rating of 45 is a typical mid-level prospect in the top 30 of the club's rankings. Song had plus-grade power and shoulders at third base. He explained that he has excellent athletic ability to the extent that he has 25 stolen bases this year.

However, it is still a question mark whether Song Sung-moon's offense will work in the Major League.

MTR says 'The biggest question is pure hitting technology. Song Sung-moon often throws a bat on the outside ball. Swing trajectories may be vulnerable to high balls. On-site evaluators view Song Seong-moon as more of a utility than a main player. The limitation of Song Seong-moon is that shortstop defense, which is a key factor in determining the value of the utility, is difficult.

According to MTR, the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics want a left-handed infielder.
