"I don't think the three are behind any other team."

The team sent a starting pitcher who is expected to be the most promising player in the team. There is no way to hide his disappointment, but he has secured a solid bullpen resource. Manager Lee Sung-yong (54) of SSG Landers expressed confidence that he will be able to secure a backdoor policy this season.토토사이트

Kim Min (26), who moved to the trade in October last year, attracts attention among the SSG players who are holding the first spring camp in Vero Beach, Florida.

It is a special bullpen resource brought from KT Wiz after giving up Oh Won-seok, who was recruited as the first nomination in 2020 and has been steadily fostering by giving him a chance to start.

Kim also joined KT through the first round of nominations in 2018 and steadily gained opportunities. He also did not easily burst his potential, but he flew much higher last year with 8 wins, 4 losses and 21 holds in 77 ⅓ innings in 71 games and 4.31 ERA.

There was a must-win duo named Noh Kyung-eun (41), who became the hold king for the first time in his life with a firm finish and an unbelievable rebound in his age as a member of the national team Cho Byung-hyun (23), but it is true that he lacked another strong resource to support the two.

As a result, he even had to bring Kim along while sending Oh Won-seok, a painful finger. Before boarding the plane first to the U.S. on June 19, Lee told reporters his story about Kim. Expressing his strong faith in Kim, Lee said, "Byeong-hyun is now the closing pitcher and Kim Min is also traded. I think the three players including Noh are as close as any other team," expressing confidence.

Kim Min, who was selected as a must-win trio before training together. The main weapons are fastballs with a maximum speed of 155km/h and sliders with large angles. The weapon may be a little monotonous, but moving to the bullpen gave the ball more strength and was able to make use of its strengths.

Kim Jae-hyun, the general manager of SSG, also expressed deep trust in a phone call with Star News when Kim Min was recruited, saying, "The part where Kim Min was the worst was that he was monotonous and out of control, but he pitched more than 90 innings this year, taking one strikeout rate per inning," adding, "It is a story that he overcame the heavy pressure in the must-win group and threw his ball."

Kim started pitching in the bullpen for the first time, expressing satisfaction. "I'm very satisfied. I think the ball will be more perfect after just one turn because I have strength and no pain on the first day," Kim said on SSG's official YouTube account. "I'm in that good shape. I'll keep up from the beginning of the season."

As much as he starts with a new team, he is highly motivated. Having no physical problems is a factor that makes him feel more confident. "I checked his condition. I thought about using more strength later, but it was okay," he said with a smile.

It is said that there were many compliments about the two-seam fastball among the staff. Although the strikeout rate is high, the fact that he is a good type of pitcher to induce a ground ball based on the two-seam also raises expectations for Kim Min. "My two-seam is a confident pitch because the batter was not good and I didn't hit many home runs," Kim said. "I was satisfied because I had good tailings and a lot of strikes."

Of course, if one more breaking ball is installed, the completeness will be improved. Kim Min is also focusing on these areas. "I will focus on strikes in more games in the next pitching," Kim said. "I want to check the breaking ball more, whether it be a slider or whatever."

Manager Lee expressed his plan to use bullpen pitcher Moon Seung-won, who played 60 innings in 62 games last year, as the starting pitcher. Kim Min, who can play a similar role and perform better than him, joined the team.

Thanks to this, SSG will be able to build a stable starting lineup consisting of Kim Kwang-hyun, Mitch White, Drew Anderson, Song Young-jin and Moon Seung-won. In addition, Park Jong-hoon, who is seeking to revive the team, is listed.

He is participating in the spring camp with a firm goal of "team remodeling," but he cannot afford to neglect his performance. His stronger pitching is expected to give a big boost to SSG, which unfortunately failed to advance to the autumn baseball league last year. At the center of this trend is Kim Min, a transfer player.
