Hanwha Eagles left-hander Kim Bum-soo revealed the effect of Ryu Hyun-jin's camp.

Kim had a disappointing year last year due to poor performance and injuries to his left muscle and triceps. He had a slump in ERA of 5.29 with four holds in 39 games and 34 innings.메이저사이트

During the two years of 2022 and 2023, Kim played 78 games and 76 games, respectively, and was upset because he pitched too many games. For the first time since 24 games in 2020, he has not played in 50 games.

This season has become a season where people are forced to take commas. After recovering from injury, he underwent rehabilitation and is sweating again to prepare for emergency this season.

In order to reliably elevate his physical condition, Kim had individual training in Okinawa, Japan. At that time, training with the mini camp group led by Ryu Hyun-jin was of great help.

"If I just do it with Hyunjin, I can concentrate more," said Kim Bum-soo, who recently met him at Ballpark in Melbourne, the site of Hanwha's spring camp. Watching and imitating Hyunjin increases concentration. When I see him, he looks very loose, but not at all. Everything is just a monster."

This means that running and playing catch can make you look like you're just running, but that's not true. It's the same when you're playing catch. If you do it with Hyunjin, you can't throw it in a strange way. That's why you can concentrate more," Kim said. "To be honest, I didn't care about throwing it, but this time I threw it in a focused manner, and it seems to be effective."

In fact, he had told Kim's younger brother Kim Moo-shin (formerly Kim Yoon-soo) that he would train with Ryu in Japan. However, Kim shook his head. "My younger brother said he was not in good physical condition, and he needed treatment, so I couldn't go with him," Kim said.

Kim Bum-soo is a close confidant of Ryu even after coming to Australia. He will train next to Ryu. "Hyun-jin hyung made the program well. We have been together since Weightlifting. Thank you for copying me well, and for making it well."

Ryu Hyun-jin has another way of getting help. He also got tips on how to use curves and change-ups. "Hyun-jin throws knuckle curves. I have a different grip, but I think it's going well," Kim said. "I threw a few change-ups, but they still come and go. When folk balls are not controlled well, we need a change-up team. That's why I keep practicing."

This year, the Hanwha Eagles will challenge the fall baseball league. Expectations are high more than ever. Having tasted the effect of the Ryu Hyun-jin camp, Kim is also dreaming of fall baseball again this season.
