If I can’t do it now, I’ll be released” Kim Seong-min,
“If we don’t do it now, it’s over.”
You are pushing yourself to the edge. It's that desperate. Now that I have served in the military, there is no going back. We want to become a new force in SSG's infield. There are many things I felt on the front lines. SSG Kim Seong-min (23) is playing again.
Kim Seong-min, whom we met at the SSG Florida spring camp on the 5th (Korean time), said, “I came to the camp when I was a rookie and came back this time. His mindset is different. When I was a rookie, I felt a little complacent. Professionals are ruthless. “I didn’t know at the time,” he said.
He continued, “I feel like if he doesn’t do it this year, he will have to leave the team. I'm thinking in extreme ways. Now is the time to do so. Time has passed since I joined the pro ranks. it's a shame. Anyway, it will pass. “Now I have to do really well,” he said.
Selected in the second round of the 2020 rookie draft. When he was at Gyeonggi High School, he was said to be a top infielder. He immediately caught the eye of a pro scout. The pro wasn't easy. He did make a first-team appearance straight away in 2020. He appeared in 9 games, where he went 4-for-14 with a batting average of .286. He also hit two home runs.
He had no more. In 2021, he appeared in 57 games for the Futures alone. He produced a batting average of 0.257, 1 home run, 14 RBI, and an OPS of 0.644. Then he enlisted in the military as an active duty soldier. He worked on the front lines of the GOP.
He was forced to fall out of baseball. As time passed, he returned to the team after being discharged in September of last year. He steadily built up his body and completed the final training camp. He was also included in the 2024 1st team spring camp list. He came back to Florida after a long time.
Aiming for the first team in 2024. Basically, the infield is a battleground. Shortstop Park Seong-han and third baseman Choi Jeong are almost fixed. Competition for second base is expected to be fierce. Kim Seong-min also needs to stick around to get a spot.
Seongmin Kim said, “I had a lot of expectations after joining the team. Compared to that, I was late. Even though I thought about it, the defense wasn't there. He took great care of me at the club, but I couldn’t move up. The bat wasn't bad, but the defense was a problem. “Even in my opinion, it was sloppy.”
He continued, “Now, my confidence in defense has increased a lot. I think it has increased. People around me also say nice things. I worked hard in defense training during the last finishing camp. Director Son Si-heon watched it. It wasn't hard. It was fun. “It was fun,” he added.
