Kim Hwigan, the right-hander who expressed his strong determination to "give his right arm for NC" after receiving the fifth pick in the first round of the NC Dinos in the 2024 KBO Rookie Draft, looked back on his first season of his debut and evaluated it as "0 out of 100 points."안전놀이터
Kim, who is 191 centimeters tall and weighs 105 kilograms, made his Futures debut against the Lotte Giants on July 27 due to right elbow pain and lost five games without a win in eight games. His ERA was also high at 10.13.
Kim is preparing for this season at Masan Stadium in Changwon instead of the Arizona camp. "I think I was in a hurry because I wanted to recover my physical condition quickly after the injury, so I prepared in a hurry. So I couldn't perform well on the mound. My balance collapsed, my ball control was shaky, and my ball speed didn't come out properly," Kim said.
"We are conducting a lot of training to make up for what we missed or lack during the last season. I am in good physical condition in general, so I am satisfied with the preparation process," he said, while steadily preparing for the new season.
Kim said, "I'm trying to recover my confidence by watching videos when I was in the best condition. If I throw my ball on the mound, I will regain my confidence." I often have conversations with Futures pitching coach Kim Soo-kyung. "I showed him videos from my high school days and asked him what he has changed from now. He always asks me about my thoughts and takes good care of me."
I was envious of them, seeing their teammates Lim Sang-hyun and Choi Woo-seok, as well as Kim Taek-yeon of the Doosan Bears. "I was envious of them, and I think I was conscious of myself," Kim said. "When they debuted in the first team, I couldn't throw due to injury, but I was in a hurry. We started a year late, but we have to work hard to catch up with them."
Kim Hwi-gun also said, "I often get questions from fans about when I'm going to dedicate my right arm. The words 'I'm waiting for you, so please come anytime' are really memorable and give me a lot of strength."
Changwon NC Park and Masan Stadium are close and far away. They are within a five-minute walk, but you can't just go there just because you want to. "I'm curious about how it feels to play baseball while receiving fans' support, and I can't wait to experience it," Kim said. "When I listen to Sang-hyun and Woo-seok's story, I'm excited and excited. I'll work hard for the day."
"I tend to throw balls when I get cheers. I watched all the debut games of my friends in the first division. Taecyeon also made her debut in the first division in Changwon on March 23. Everyone says she wasn't nervous, but I don't think so. Wouldn't I be nervous if I take the mound in the first division?"
