Kim Seo-hyun, 19, the Hanwha Eagles’ No. 1 overall pick, has been sent to the second team due to growing pains.

The baseball team removed Kim from the first-team roster ahead of their upcoming game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Aug. 8.

Kim throws a fastball that tops out at 155 kilometers per hour, but he’s been struggling lately.

Against Doosan on July 7, he gave up two runs in ⅓ of an inning, giving up a walk and a hit-by-pitch.

For the season, Kim has a 5.60 ERA in 18 games with one save (17⅔ innings, 16 hits, 13 runs, 11 earned). Recently, his walks have increased dramatically.

In the end, Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho decided to give Kim Seo-hyun some time to work on his mechanics in the second team.

On the same day, Hanwha added left-handed pitcher Song Yoon-jun to the first team roster.

Doosan demoted Park Shin-ji to the second team and called up outfielder Hong Seong-ho to the first team after he struggled in his start the previous day (July 7), giving up two runs on three hits in two innings.스포츠토토

KIA right-handed pitcher Kim Jae-yeol was sent down to the second team today.
