LG Kim Beom-seok «Futures All-Star is also an Honorable Position... I will Receive MVP Again»

Kim Beom-seok, who was active in the first team, participates in the Futures All-Star Game at the club’s recommendation.

When the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced the list of players for the 2024 Pro Baseball Futures League (2nd team) All-Star Game on the 27th of last month, many baseball fans tilted their heads.

This was because LG Twins’ next-generation power hitter Kim Beom-seok (20) was included. 토토사이트 순위

Kim Beom-seok, a high school graduate catcher who debuted in the KBO League in 2023, played in 43 games in the first-team pro baseball league this season, posting 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 with SSG Landers held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on April 21.

He hit a come-from-behind grand slam in Game 1, and went 4-for-8 in the two games.

Kim Beom-seok’s momentum has somewhat waned since May, but he has done his part by maintaining a batting average in the upper .200s.

This is the background to why baseball fans are skeptical about Kim Beom-seok’s participation in the ’2nd-team All-Star Game’.

Kim Beom-seok’s participation in the Futures League All-Star Game was made possible by the recommendation of LG 2nd-team manager 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 dropped.

He may feel disappointed, but Kim Beom-seok enjoyed the ’festival of promising players’ to his heart’s content.

He participated in the pre-event one-point lesson event of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Futures All-Star Game held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 5th, and smiled brightly while interacting with fans.

Kim Beom-seok, who met with reporters after the event, said, «I’m participating this year as well as last year,» and «The Futures All-Star Game is also an honor for me.»

In fact, Kim Beom-seok has a lot of connections with the Futures All-Star Game.

Last year, he won the MVP award at the 2023 Futures All-Star Game held in his hometown of Busan after hitting 2 hits (1 home run) and 4 RBIs in 4 at-bats.

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 this season, but I haven’t been of much help to the team since May,» and pledged, «I will work hard to be a 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.
