When the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced the list of players for the 2024 Professional Baseball Futures
League (2nd team) All-Star Game on the 27th of last month, many baseball fans tilted their heads.
This is because LG Twins' next-generation big hitter Kim Beom-seok (20) was included.
High school graduate catcher Kim Beom-seok, who debuted in the KBO League in 2023, appeared in 43 games in the first-
team pro baseball league this season and had a batting average of 0.283, 5 home runs, and 22 RBIs.
He left a strong impression with a performance that was almost a one-man show in the doubleheader against SSG Landers
held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on April 21st.
He hit a comeback-winning grand slam in Game 1, and had 4 hits in 8 at-bats in two games.
Kim Beom-seok's momentum has somewhat waned since May, but he did his part by maintaining a batting average in the
upper .200s.
This is the background to why baseball fans reacted with skepticism to Kim Beom-seok's appearance in the 'Second Team
All-Star'.
Kim Beom-seok's participation in the Futures League All-Star Game was made possible by the recommendation of LG 2nd
team manager 카지노사이트모음 Kim Jeong-jun.
Second-team manager Kim Jeong-jun included Kim Beom-seok's name on the list of recommendations to give him a
chance to cool his head, as his pace has somewhat waned.
Although he may feel a little disappointed, Kim Beom-seok enjoyed the 'festival of promising young stars' to the fullest.
He participated in the one-point lesson event held before the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Futures All-Star Game held at
Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 5th, interacting with fans and smiling brightly.
Kim Beom-seok, who met with reporters after the event, said, "I participated this year as well as last year," when asked,
"Do you have any regrets about participating in the Futures All-Star Game?" and "The Futures All-Star Game is an honor
for me."
In fact, Kim Beom-seok has a lot of connections with the Futures All-Stars.
He won the MVP award at the 2023 Futures All-Star Game held in his hometown of Busan last year, going 2-for-4 with 1
home run and 4 RBIs.
He said, "This year, my goal is to win the MVP award," and "I will do my best to win the award."
Kim Beom-seok said, "I had a good pace at the beginning of the season, but I haven't been able to be of much help to the
team since May." He added, "I will work hard to be of help to the team in the second half of the season, using the All-Star
break as an opportunity."
On this day, Kim Beom-seok will start as the 4th batter and first baseman in the Northern League.
