Kim Seo-hyun (Hanwha Eagles) showed a powerful appearance in his first appearance in the Okinawa League.

In a practice game against SSG Landers held at Kochida Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 3rd, Kim Seo-hyun took the mound in relief in the top of the 7th inning with a 4-1 lead, recording one hit and one strikeout without conceding a run in one inning.

Kim Seo-hyun showed confidence in pitching against her first batter, Choi Kyung-mo. After taking two strikes with two four-seam fastballs, he induced a swing strikeout with a curveball on the fourth pitch.

He allowed the second batter, Choi Hang, to hit the first pitch in the infield, but Kim Seo-hyun was not shaken. He overwhelmed Cho Hyeong-woo with his pitch and induced a floating ball. He then came down from the mound after handling Lee Heung-ryeon with a ground ball to second base.

Kim Seo-hyun was nominated by Hanwha as the first overall pick in the first round of the 2023 KBO Rookie Draft. It was Kim Seo-hyun’s first appearance in a real game. From his first game, he had the spirit of a highly anticipated prospect.

Seohyun Kim threw 10 balls from the mound. He mixed a four-seam fastball (eight pitches)-curve (two pitches). The highest four-seam fastball velocity was 153 km/h, and the average velocity was 152 km/h. After he got off the mound, he threw more balls from the bullpen and rested.

Kim Seo-hyun said, “I didn’t even allow long hits. I’m very satisfied. I thought I would be nervous because it was my first professional game, but I wasn’t nervous when I got on the mound.”

Next, Kim Seo-hyun said, “During Cheongbaekjeon and live pitching, I threw a lot of breaking balls, but before today’s pitching, (Huh) Kwan-Hui told me, ‘Don’t try to make things go wrong, let’s go with what works well now.’ I lost, but it helped a lot.”먹튀검증

Kim Seo-hyun threw a fastball of 153 km / h from his first game, and he showed why he was ranked first in the overall draft. It’s still one game, but it was a pitch that could expect Kim Seo-hyun’s performance.

Meanwhile, Hanwha won SSG 5-1 with Park Sang-eon, Oh Sun-jin, Noh Si-hwan, Noh Su-gwang, and Park Jung-hyun each scoring 1 RBI.
