“When others get one, I try to get three.”
Samsung Lions infielder Kim Young-woong (20) is called the player who will lead the future of Samsung. He was from Middle East Elementary School, Yarrow Middle School, and Water Vault, and was nominated by Samsung in the 3rd place in the 2nd 1st round of the 22nd round.카지노사이트
In his last season, he played 13 games, batting .133 with 2 hits, 1 home run, 1 RBI and 2 runs scored. He is batting .175 with 11 hits, 6 RBIs and 6 runs scored in 32 games this season. He still lacks a lot, but he is a player who can draw a wide range of his growth.

As a result, Kim Young-woong enjoyed the honor of participating in the 2023 Futures All-Star Game.
Kim Young-woong, who we met on the 14th, said, “I am honored to be selected for the Futures All-Star Game. As much as he was chosen, he tries to do his best.”
He looked back once in the first half. He has already surpassed the number of games played last season, but he thinks he lacks a lot when he feels himself.
He said, “I am not satisfied. I have a goal in mind, but I haven’t been able to achieve it perfectly. But I’m glad that part is better than last year. That’s why I’m trying to work harder.”
He continued, “I still regret the pioneering plan, but I think he is better than last year. He added that even after entering the at bat, the number fight with the opposing pitcher seems to have improved.”
Messages from Samsung coach Park Jin-man and Samsung Futures coach Kim Jae-geol, who were famous for their defense during their active career, are of great help to Kim Young-woong as he grows. Also, defensive training with his grandson, the defensive coach, is also a great happiness for Kim Young-woong. He feels good because even though it’s hard, he’s feeling the growth.
Kim Young-woong said, “Director Park Jin-man emphasizes the basics a lot. Director Kim Jae-geol always tells me to be confident and to always smile,” he said. It’s hard, but when others get one, I try to get three. The weather is hot these days, but during home games, he comes out 30 minutes before the training start time and plays fungo. Thank you.”
I am always thinking about making up for the lack of hitting. Lee Jae-hyun recommended that he often watches Softbank legend Yuki Yanagita’s videos. Yanagita is a Softbank legend who recorded 1379 hits, 238 homers, 770 RBIs and 804 runs in 1255 games in Nippon Professional Baseball while playing only for Softbank.
Kim Young-woong said, “There is a feeling that it is not enough to push with one of mine. While talking about baseball with Jaehyun in a hotel room, he asked me to watch a video of Yanagita, so I watched it before going to bed, and it was really cool. I’m not trying to follow the form. I’m watching the timing and feeling as a slow-motion video by slowing down the playback speed.”
This time it’s the Futures All-Star Game, but I’m waiting for the day when I play in the first-team All-Star Game, where only star players participate.
Kim Young-woong said, “I may not be able to do it right away, but I want to work hard and become a player the team needs. As there are many good seniors in the league, I will learn a lot.”
