In the KBO League regular season held on the 26th, Samsung Kim Tae-hoon (28) stood on the podium.
On the day, Kim received the Futures League Southern League batting average award. This season, Kim had a batting average of 0.320, 11 homers and 62 RBIs in 84 Futures League games.
"I was so disappointed that Samsung didn't do well in the first division, but they couldn't be together," Kim Tae-hoon said. "I hope we can be together next year with this award."
As he said, Samsung won the runner-up prize in this year's Korean Series. For the first time in three years since 2021, an autumn feast was held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu. The event broke expectations that Samsung would be out of the top five before the opening of the season. 먹튀검증
Kim Tae-hoon, however, failed to join the team. He played in the second division, but failed to stand out in the first division. He only had a batting average of 0.200 and one RBI in 12 games in the first division.
The competition among Samsung's outfielders is particularly fierce. Kim Ji-chan, who was an infielder, took a position as outfield defense, and Kim Hun-gon, a middle-aged veteran, Lee Sung-kyu and Yoon Jeong-bin, who have long-shot power, and Kim Hyun-joon were called in in the latter half of the season. However, Kim's last record in the first division was against NC Dinos on Sept. 7.
Kim Tae-hoon strengthened his mind for the next season after the ceremony. He said, "There are some things I didn't get the right chance and I think I haven't come yet. I'm preparing well now because I think I need to prepare well this year and pour everything into it next year."
Kim Tae-hoon, who graduated from Yushin High School, joined KT as the 53rd player in the second round of the fifth round in the 2015 rookie draft. He then changed his uniform to compensate Kim Sang-soo, who moved to KT through a free agent contract.
At that time, Samsung needed an outfielder and Kim Tae-hoon was chosen. Kim Tae-hoon also said, "When I first came to Samsung, I heard that there were not many outfielders, but I was injured early last year, and the team's situation changed a lot in a year." Kim Tae-hoon, who ambitiously entered the 2023 season, suffered an injury called right ankle ligament damage and took three months to recover. In the meantime, other competitors have begun to stand out in the outfield.
"I think the existing players did a good job," Kim Tae-hoon said. "I will be able to do well next year. You don't know what will happen to people."
I felt a lot of things when I saw Noh Kyung-eun, the SSG king who stood on the podium on the same day. Born in 1984, Noh won the title in 22 years despite her age.
Kim Tae-hoon said, "Seeing Noh Kyung-eun senior, I also felt that I should not give up on my dream and keep going."
