Will the Futures League batting king be able to raise his head in the first division.
The Futures League concluded this season's schedule with the end of Saturday. Goyang Heroes' Kim Woong-bin (28) won the title of batting champion in the Northern League. He had 73 hits from 228 times at bat with a batting average of 0.320, 10 homers, 44 RBIs, 48 runs scored, and OPS of 0.956. If the Southern League is included, Kim Tae-hoon (Samsung Lions) with 0.320 ranks first, and Kim Woong-bin ranks second.
In any case, it could be a turning point in the baseball life of an infielder who was named 27th in the second third round by the SK Wyverns in 2015 and still hasn't popped in the first team. It is true that the Futures League is lower than the first team, but there is no reason to underestimate the meaning of the title holder.
However, Kim Woong-bin is also a symbolic title that shows that he has nothing to show in the second division anymore. He finished his military service, and his 20s will be his last season next year. In fact, he played in a total of 456 games in the Futures League. It has been 10 years since he played in the Futures League alone. His overall batting average of 0.321, 48 homers, 286 RBIs, 277 runs and OPS of 0.892.
Kim Woong-bin will become smaller whenever he plays for the first team. In this season, he only posted a batting average of 0.125 with two RBIs and two runs scored in 12 games and an OPS of 0.368. He hit a batting average of 0.275 in 2020, the first full-time season after finishing his mandatory military service, and is on a downward spiral. He has not hit a single homer for two consecutive years.
In the first team, too many strikeouts are a concern. He has one shot, but he is not a home run hitter. He usually stays above the average and adds long balls, but he has more strikeouts. He struck out 249 times on 100 pitches. He is a talented batting player, but he was deceived by first-team pitchers.
Third base is the main position, and first base is also possible. It was completely pushed back by Song Sung-moon, who is the same age at third base, but there is a chance. This is because Choi Joo-hwan, who played as the main first baseman this year, will qualify as a FA. It is not known whether Choi Joo-hwan will exercise his FA status, but Kiwoom seems to want to be with Choi Joo-hwan. If Choi Joo-hwan leaves for another club, there is a chance for Kim Woong-bin to squeeze in. 스포츠토토
Moreover, Kim Hye-sung will move to the Major League at the end of this season for Kiwoom. Overall, the infield framework is expected to be redrawn. For Kim Woong-bin, next year may be the last chance. If he participates in the final training session in Taiwan, he needs to show an impact to Hong Won-ki.
