The early game is very important in a draft. The reason is simple.
At least in the first round, you’re forced to pick players you’ve been watching for a long time, not just a month or two. Because of this long period of observation, players who play well early on have a relative advantage. It is in a similar vein that Hwang Jun-seo (Hanwha), Cho Dae-hyun (KIA), and Won Sang-hyun (KT), who all struggled at the end of last year, could have gotten first-round picks.
In that sense, if the National Myungmyeong Go Baseball Fever broke the big two structure of Jeong Hyun-woo and Bae Chan-seung and created a new star in Jeong Woo-woo, the Shinsegae E-Mart Bae is bringing another star to the top of the game.
If there is only one player who has improved himself the most in the two tournaments combined, it is Kim Tae-hyung (a junior at Deoksugo High School).
Kim has an ERA of ‘0’ in 23.2 innings pitched this season. That means he hasn’t given up a single run. The team was able to sweep both the Myungmyeong Goyeol and Shinsegae E-Mart Bae championships thanks to Kim’s impact. In 14.2 innings of work for the Shinsegae E-Mart Bae, he didn’t give up a single run and struck out a whopping 27 batters.
Kim hails from Hwasun, Jeolla Province. He was a standout in the weekend league last season with a no-hitter. However, until last season, his velocity hadn’t increased much, so he was evaluated as a pitcher who dominated opponents with his fastball. However, he is in good physical condition and his velocity has increased significantly, attracting the attention of professional scouts.
A scout from the parent club said, “Kim Tae-hyung knows how to run a game. He can carry a game on his own and has a good changeup. His fastball was recorded up to 149 kilometers on the Shinsegae E-Mart ship. Overall, he was criticized for his pitches, but he has improved a lot since entering high school.”
Another club official highly valued Kim Tae-hyung, saying, “We’ll have to wait and see, but so far, I think he’s good enough for the No. 5 spot in the 스포츠토토 order.” Although the evaluation of each club may differ, there were some who mentioned Kim Tae-hyung as one of the big four at this point. In any case, it is true that the overall evaluation has risen a lot.
At the time of the Myungmyeong High School Baseball Fever, he was evaluated as a first-round player, but it is important to note that he has grown into a player who is capable of being drafted in the top of the order.
Kim’s rise is likely to continue in the future. In fact, on April 27, he threw a two-hit shutout in the weekend league against Jang Chung-go.
His height, changeup, and fastball are basically all there, so if he can add more velocity to his arsenal, teams in the top picks will be looking at him even more. 온라인카지노사이트
In the first round, teams are looking for immediate power that can be used quickly. Kim doesn’t have any major deficiencies in his size, command, changeup, or velocity. He also hits well. In the E-Mart Bae semifinals and finals, he went 2-for-7 with a double and two RBIs.
His velocity was criticized as lacking for a first-rounder, but if he continues to improve in that area, he could move up the board.
The race to the September draft has begun in earnest. Kim Tae-hyung has emerged as the new dark horse of high school baseball.
