Shortest new and 4th round → 'Big explosion' in 7th year..."I opened my eyes to baseball. What would I have done without it?"

There is a player in his seventh year since debut. He is not a first-round pick or a first-round pick, but a player selected in the fourth round. He was a player who talked more about height than about the game. Because he is the shortest in the league. But 2023 is different. It's really hitting hard. Kim Sung-yoon (24) is the main character.

Kim Sung-yoon has played in 77 games this season with a batting average of 0.327, two home runs, 17 RBIs and 29 runs scored and 11 steals, an on-base percentage of 0.368, a slugging percentage of 0.435 and an OPS of 0.803. The batting average for scoring is 0.343.

It's definitely a career high season. Everything is the best and most record since debut. Since joining the team in 2017, he has made 14 hits over the past six years until last year, and he has already had 48 hits this season.

It is even more surprising when limited to the second half. He has a batting average of 0.423, two home runs, 10 RBIs, 18 runs and five steals, an on-base percentage of 0.453, a slugging percentage of 0.551 and an OPS of 1.004.

His batting average ranks second overall in the league. First place is Koo Ja-wook with 0.436 points. In other words, the "first place in all schools" is in the same class. It was number one until a few days ago. In the second half, only two batters are batting .400, Koo Ja-wook and Kim Sung-yoon.

"Was he always this kind of player?" It's a complete transformation. Hit it evenly regardless of the fastball or breaking ball. There is no way that the bat goes out of a bad ball. He set his own zone and hit the ball with his goal.

Even the defense is good. It boasts a wide range of defense with its fast feet. His batting judgment has also improved. Experience is accumulated as he plays a lot, and his defense is improving based on this.

Coach Park Jin-man said, "I feel happy whenever I see Kim Sung-yoon. "What would you have done without it. "It was almost a big trouble," he said. "I really like Koo Ja-wook now, but Kim Sung-yoon is making an RBI opportunity as he lives in front of him." "I think I opened my eyes to baseball," he said.

He added, "I don't discriminate between fastballs and breaking balls. have an eye for. He's good at dealing with the moment. He is in a state of course. You can make good results while playing, and you can show your strengths better because it goes well. "Soubry is a talented friend," he stressed.

He also said, "If the team wants to have a good atmosphere, it needs the power of fast players. You have to shake your opponent when you go to the top. Kim Sung-yoon is playing the role. "Now, Kim Sung-yoon makes me expect to do something at-bat," he explained.

He is 163 centimeters tall. the shortest player in the league. Kim Sung-yoon's performance is drawing more attention as physical conditions are becoming more important. In fact, he is only short, but his athletic ability is the best.

In 2017, when he was a rookie, Kim Sung-yoon said, "I've never cared about my height while playing baseball. It's just another person's eyes anyway. He was small since he was young, and he is still small. You have to admit what you have to admit. "There are times when small things are an advantage," he said confidently. 토토

He made 22 appearances in his debut season, and in 2018 he made only one appearance. After serving in the military, chances of playing began to increase little by little from the 2021 season. It's blooming this year. It's "Big explosion." It's not the end. I'm looking forward to seeing him more afterwards.
