It was a strong first impression.
Kim Tae-hun (outfielder), who became a new member of the Samsung team as a free agent compensation player for Kim Sang-soo (KT), hit the final blow in the opening match against SSG on the 13th.
Kim Tae-hoon, who played second right fielder, withdrew with a ground ball to first base in the first inning, a strikeout in the third, and a foul fly to the third baseman in the sixth.
Kim Tae-hoon made a decisive blow in the match. In the 8th inning, where the score was 1-1, he hit a timely hit with 2 RBIs against SSG’s ‘special rookie’ Ro-Woon Lee. Samsung defeated SSG 3-1 and decorated the opening game of the demonstration game with a victory.
Manager Park Jin-man applauded, saying, “Kim Tae-hoon’s concentration, which created an RBI with a good hit for a scoring chance, was the driving force behind today’s victory.”
Kim Tae-hun, who met with reporters after the game, said, “I lost a lot of weight during the camp, but my grandmother took good care of me, so I’m eating well.”
After the transfer, he made his debut in front of home fans. (Old) Ja-wook hyung said, ‘It seems to have worked. I’d rather upgrade it today’. Even if I tried to get off, I couldn’t do it, so I just did it. Ja-wook hyung’s advice was very helpful.”
Kim Tae-hoon added, “The pitch that hit was a slider, but I hit it high in the middle and with the mindset of not just striking out, it led to good results.” 예스벳 토토
Also, “(Kim) Heongon hyung helps me a lot. Heon-gon advised me, ‘Because he can’t put all his energy into all 144 games, he has to control himself well’. He tells good stories in various areas, such as arranging physical strength, sleeping, eating, and what to do when he comes to the baseball field.”
He showed outstanding skills in defense as well. In the 4th inning, with 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases in crisis, Shin-soo Choo’s home run hit was kicked off with a jump catch. In response, “I am concentrating on not doing things like ‘missing that’ as much as anyone can see. I got better because I received a lot of fungo. “I want to work harder on defense,” he said.
