Kang Jung-ho (38), who became the outside opinion leader of the Korean baseball league, recently visited the Irvine Spring camp of the KIA Tigers following his YouTube channel, and asserted that the only batter in the future is Kim Do-young (22, KIA).안전놀이터

There is Kang Baek-ho (26, KT Wiz), who was checked by the Major League Secretariat this winter but declined, but Kang Jung-ho did not mention it. In fact, Kang Jung-ho's evaluation that there is no clear card to go to the Major League other than Kim Do-young among KBO League hitters for the time being is quite consensus. Although Kang Baek-ho was revived last year, the impact was not very strong, and the weakness is that he does not have a clear position.

Then, what about broadening the scope of pitchers? Then, the situation is different. Arizona Diamondbacks scout Lee Seung-won and former NC Dinos scout Song Min-koo recently agreed on KBS N Sports commentator Kim Tae-kyun's YouTube channel "TK52" with Ahn Woo-jin (26, social service worker).

Prior to that, there was an article reported by the Major League statistics site FanGraph at the end of November 2023. At that time, the media picked Moon Dong-ju, Kim Seo-hyun (Hanwha Eagles), Lee Eui-ri (KIA Tigers), Kim Joo-won (NC Dinos), and Kim Min-seok (Doosan Bears) as domestic players who could go to the Major League after 2027.

As Ahn Woo-jin mentioned, he made an exception, saying it is not easy to predict the future with Tommy John surgery and the start of his career as a social service worker. In fact, he included Ahn Woo-jin. In fact, Kim Joo-won and Kim Min-seok failed to clearly show their potential after playing through the 2024 season.

Moon Dong-ju, Kim Seo-hyun, and Lee Eui-ri remain. They are in a different situation. However, just looking at the shilling, critics say that Ahn Woo-jin is a next generation player who deserves to go to the Major League. Moon seemed to break the eggshells in 2023, but faltered again last year due to residual injuries. Lee will return this summer after Tommy John surgery and rehabilitation. The actual return season is next year.

Among the three, Kim Seo-hyun was rather the most hopeful last year. Looking for a pitching form that suits him, he has established himself as an axis of must-win pitching. Looking at the ball power, it is okay to finish right away. Moon Dong-ju is the fifth starter and Kim Seo-hyun is the core bullpen this season. The only thing left is to explode the potential again.

In order for them to receive clearer and favorable reviews from the U.S. media, it is important for them to continue their talents with consistency in their performance. Lee must complete his rehabilitation first. At this point, he is a promising player who can compete in the Major League, but it is hard to say that he has a clear line like Ahn Woo-jin and Kim Do-young. Still, he is quite different from the reality in which Kang said he has no batters, not Kim Do-young. It will be fun to watch his performance this season.
