Heroes' big leaguers' genealogy, isn't it over? If you wait, it will come out again
Kiwoom Heroes has a 16-year history of the club, and it has already produced or will produce five major leaguers. Lee Jung-hoo became the fourth major leaguer of the heroes when he signed a five-year, $113 million contract with the San Francisco Giants in the 2023-2024 offseason.
And recently, Kim officially approved Kim's advance to the Major League. Kim will challenge himself to the Major League through a posting system in the 2024-2025 offseason. Unless he suffers a major slump or major injury this season, he will be able to advance to the Major League, and his concern is his ransom and team.
Kim Hye-sung may not be the end. Unlike Major League Baseball academies, there is a good chance that another big leaguer will emerge. First of all, there is Cho Sang-woo, who has returned after a two-year hiatus. If Cho normally plays this season, he will have to fill seven full years.
Cho Sang-woo is also known to have a dream about entering the Major League. However, since Cho returned after a long time, he seems to have a strong mindset to devote himself to the team first. Kiwoom has also not officially heard anything about the Major League from any player except Kim Hye-sung.
In addition to Cho Sang-woo, there is a good chance that there will be players who will challenge the Major League in the distant future. Kiwoom has the most active first- and second-tier rotation among the 10 clubs. The team is likely to have a chance in the first division. Lee Jung-hoo also recently said on Kiwoom YouTube, "If you work hard, you can get a chance to become the main player."
In this regard, it is necessary to watch Kiwoom's process to create new power in pitching and hitting. They are Kim Hwi-jip (22) in the infield and Lee Ju-hyung (23) in the outfield. The two have been playing steadily for many years and have to raise their name value by themselves. So far, it should be seen as a beginning stage. The two and Kim Dong-hun (20), who is likely to be the main catcher, should prove their strength to lead the team for many years.
On the mound, the team needs to nurture successors of Ahn Woo-jin (social service worker). Just in time, Kiwoom recruited 14 rookies from the 2024 Rookie Draft, and most of them were pitchers. The first-round pick that it acquired when handing over Choi Won-tae to the LG Twins was also allocated to pitchers (Jeon Jun-pyo). Notably, the team focused on recruiting players who have potential to grow into pitches.
Kiwoom has entered the era of post-Lee Jung-hoo and Ahn Woo-jin. Will it be able to produce another major leaguer who will succeed Kim Hye-sung? No one knows when, where, and who will come out. The team's general manager, Ko Hyung-wook, always said, "It does not block players' dreams." When rookies join the team, the team allows them to show off their skills and perform as much as they want without limiting themselves, and to set their own direction. 토토사이트먹튀
