[OSEN=조형래 기자] “My mother also said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’

The NC Dinos of professional football did well in second place in the league. However, coach Kang In-kwon became concerned about the shortstop position. Although it was going smoothly, Kim Joo-won’s poor performance, which did not bother him as the starting shortlist, bothered me. Director Kang went so far as to say, “The worry about Kim Joo-won was really something I hadn’t thought about.” Currently, Kim Joo-won can’t add strength to his offense with a batting average of 1.79 li (17 hits in 118 at-bats), 2 home runs, and an OPS of .606.

Finally, the mood started to change from the Incheon SSG game on the 3rd. They started giving Kim Han-byeol a chance to be elected. Hanbyul Kim started the game in the 3rd and created tension with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, and 2 runs. Although he felt disappointed with Kim Han-byul’s aggressiveness, he was determined to – season that was left to run in a competitive system with Kim Joo-won. However, Kim Han-byul also collapsed after being hit by a sandball during the game on the 4th. In the top of the 7th inning, with 2 outs and 2nd base, a baseball hit him on the right finger and he collapsed. First, Kim Han-byul is expected to be kicked out of the first team entry.

It is expected that there will be a change in the position of the shortlist. The player currently playing in the best position in the second team will be called naturally. There is a good chance that a place in the first team will go to Kim Se-hoon (19), who graduated from Gyeongbuk High School and entered with the 61st overall pick in the 7th round of this year’s rookie draft. After joining the team, he was changed to a training player and is expected to be registered as an official player on this day.

Kim Se-hoon was a boon to NC. The pick obtained through trade resulted in a relationship with NC In 2023, Kim Se-hoon was selected with the 7th round pick obtained when the free agent Myung-ki Lee was signed.

At the time of the announcement, the NC scout team said, “He is a player with good body movement and hits accurately with a toe-tap movement, and is a hitter who can hit batted balls evenly on the left and right he said, “He is a player with good offensive, defensive and defensive skills and a stable defensive ability.” The characteristics and background of the name have been explained.

Kim Se-hoon has only played in 4 games, but he is currently the player showing the hottest hitting in the second team. In 4 games, he has a batting average of .500 (9 hits in 18 at-bats), 3 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.080. In the game against Sangmu on the 30th of last month, which was his second-team debut, he had 3 hits and 2 RBI in 4 at-bats, followed by 4 hits and 1 RBI in the 5 at-bats against KT on the 3rd. He also pitched well against KT on the 4th, the day before his first team call-up, with 2 hits in 4 at-bats. Due to Kim Han-byeol’s injury, he was urgently called up to the first team.

Kim Se-hoon said about the recent hard hit, “Even I was surprised. After I joined the NC, I changed the batting home with Coach Cho Young-hoon and I think it suits me very well. “It was the first time I had a 4-hit game,” he said, “I’ve never had anything like this even in high school, so my mom responded by saying, ‘What wrong you?’

He is the youngest, standing at 174cm and weighing 77kg. Kim Se-hoon said, “I feel like I get a lot of praise as the youngest because my older brothers often tell me that I’m doing well. ” However, he does not let his guard down and is responsible for the beginning and end of the basketball field every day. He is reported to be one of the NC 2nd team players who comes to work early and late.

At the same time, he tries to imitate Mookie Betts (LA Dodgers), who has a small body and plays the same shortstop position. He said, “I’ve been watching a lot of Mookie Betts videos since I changed my batting form. “I often watch videos because I want to know that, although he is small, he has good communication ability and can hit long shots if hit correctly,” he said with a smile. .

Kim Se-hoon is a positive and bright person who wants to help the team in the future and bring hope to his family. He said, “I want to play a lot to help the team,” and expressed his determination, “My parents worked hard to support me, but now I want to be good at it basketball and make them happy for the rest of their lives.”
