Catcher Kim Si-ang (21), who has joined Kiwoom in his third year, easily acts as a troubleshooter like Doraemon in a cartoon when he needs a hit after coming to the first division. Kim Si-ang, who joined the first division on the 10th of last month, continues his surprise performance with a batting average of 0.438 (14 hits in 32 at-bats) and seven RBIs in 17 games he played this season.

In the Gocheok game on the 3rd, when he completed a sweep of three consecutive games against KT Wiz, he also took the lead in a 7-0 victory with two RBIs and two hits in four at-. Kim Si-ang, who met at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 2nd, said, "I think it passed very quickly after coming to the first division. "As I continued to start, time went by in an instant," he said, looking back on the past month. 바카라

When Kim Si-ang first joined the first division, the song featured was Doraemon's theme song. Kim Si-ang, who entered the batter's box with the lyrics "I really like you, Doraemon," is said to have felt "something wrong." "The last letter of my name (ang) entered Doraemon's theme song and listened to it like a nickname since I was young, so I chose it as the song myself," he said. "It wasn't easy because it came out when I was losing by a big score." So I just changed it to a hip-hop song these days," he said with a smile.

Even if he didn't play in many games, Kim Si-ang made a strong impression by continuing his hit streak that no one expected. With a career Futures (second-tier) league batting average of 0.227, he proudly shows his batting skills he has hidden against first-tier pitchers.

Kim Si-ang said, "Honestly, I haven't been a good batsman since elementary school. So I've been told to just defend since I was young, he said. "It was better to use an aluminum bat in middle school, but I felt like I should focus on defense again when I went up to high school." It was Kim Tae-wan, Kiwoom's second-tier batting coach, who helped the current hard hit that he was amazed.

Kim Si-ang, who didn't know how to fight a pitcher easily even with a bad ball, clearly set his own strike zone to aim for on-base in the first division. He said, "Coach Kim taught me how to fight against pitchers. 'Try desperately again. It needs to be more desperate. "He said, 'Don't regret it even if you look back after 10 years,' and it hit me."

It is the parents who make Kim Si-ang more desperate. Born in Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do, and graduated from Gwangju Daesung Elementary School, Dongseong Middle School, and Dongseong High School, he also led the Blue Dragon Flag victory as a main catcher at Dongseong High School in high school.

Kim Si-ang, a "late bloomer" who is more than 50 years apart from his father, said, "My parents are old, so I once thought 'Should I go down to my hometown' for a while," adding, "When I think of my parents, I decided to show them in baseball more diligently and desperately."

Kim Si-ang, who is doing his best in the first division three years after joining the team, is growing as a reliable backup catcher for Kiwoom. While the main catcher Lee Ji-young was briefly injured, Kiwoom, where high school graduate rookie catcher Kim Dong-heon leaped to the starting position, even got another catcher named Kim Si-ang.

If Kim Dong-heon, who is about to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, is away at the end of this month, Kim Si-ang's playing time will inevitably increase. Kim Si-ang said, "Even if it is still awkward to hear my name on the ground, fans' cheers are always exciting," adding, "My goal is to become a player who is more expected tomorrow than today."
