The new king of Spring and Autumn is even more chaotic

Kim has a batting average of 0.366, three homers and 14 RBIs, a on-base percentage of 0.435 with a slugging percentage of 0.634 with an OPS of 1.069 in 13 games as of Saturday. He started playing games on April 14. There are only two hitless games.

In the first game of the doubleheader against the SSG on June 21, he garnered a grand slam to lead the team to victory. In the second game, he had three hits. He also had his second cannon for this season at a match against KIA on June 27.

At the game against NC Dinosaurs on Sunday, he had two hits and two RBIs including a home run. With one out and a runner on the first base in the sixth inning, he pulled Castano's first pitch to hit the homer. The moment he was hit, he hit a home run. LG also garnered a landslide victory of 10-1.

It was difficult to imagine the current state during the spring camp. It surprised everyone at the camp departure hall. It turned out that he was not able to manage his weight at all. He returned home early after suffering an internal oblique muscle injury at the camp.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was furious. As a catcher, he needs to manage his weight. Naturally, he was not even included in the opening entry. Time has passed and he joined the first team on April 12. "I heard I will do my best. I will trust him," Yeom said.

Now, people say, "What would you have done if I didn't raise my bat?" I was born with the bat. Accuracy is a basic skill, and I also have the strength to push and overcome. Analysts say that the hit was not a result of my second year of high school graduation. This is the lifeblood of LG.

Some say that he is the Rookie of the Year. He made his debut last year but only 29 at-bats in the main league. He is expected to receive 30 at-bats for this year's qualification.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year competition is in limbo. High school graduates such as Doosan's Kim Taek-yeon, Hanwha's Hwang Joon-seo, and Lotte's Jeon Mir are strong. Before the season, Kim Taek-yeon was called a strong candidate for the Rookie of the Year. Hwang Joon-seo is starting the debut season. Jeon Mir has emerged as a key member of Lotte's bullpen.

There is also a "secondhand rookie." Cho Byung-hyun of the SSG has completely changed this year, his fourth year in this season. He started as a chasing group and has proudly risen to the must-win group. His ball power is the top among the candidates for the Rookie of the Year award.

Samsung's Lee Ho-seong also took the starting pitcher position. He allowed two runs (one earned run) in 5.2 innings against Doosan on Tuesday. Kwak Do-gyu, a second-year veteran of Kia, is also an indispensable pitcher in the KIA bullpen.

Pitchers were relatively dominant. There was no candidate for the batter. In this situation, Kim Bum-suk appeared intensely. Pitchers are on the ups and downs. Currently, Kim Bum-suk is on the rise.

If Kim can maintain the pace until the end, he will be able to win the Rookie of the Year title. He is thus able to win the Rookie of the Year title for the first time in six years since Kang Baek-ho in 2018.

Of course, it's not clear yet. Each team has more than 100 games left. We have to wait and see after the season is over. Samsung's first-rounder Yuk Seon-yeop also made his debut in the first division at the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on Tuesday. This season is more difficult to predict than ever before. Kim Bum-suk is making it more difficult to choose from.
