When asked about the secret of his success in the second half of the year, Kim Hyeon-jun lowered himself by saying, “I do the same as usual, but I’m just lucky.” It was like the impression of a person with a perfect score in the CSAT, “I studied mainly from textbooks.” Kim Hyun-jun also said, “I try to hit any ball, good or bad. I step into the plate with the confidence that I can make a hit with any ball.” 

He shows off a crazy presence not only in attack but also in defense. On the 2nd, he showed off two super catches at the Pohang KIA game. KBSN sports commentator Park Yong-taek, who was in charge of relaying the game that day, praised Kim Hyun-joon’s stable defense and said, “With Lee Jung-hoo (Kiwoom outfielder) missing from an injury, we have to hire a new outfielder for the Hangzhou Asian Games, but Kim Hyun-jun is doing quite well. Today, Kim Hyun-jun’s defense is eye-catching. comes in,” he said. 

In response, Kim Hyun-joon said, “He seems to be improving (ability) because he also plays defense. I’m trying to be bold.” The artificial turf at Pohang Stadium was in poor condition and the risk of injury was high, but he said, “I just thought I had to catch (the ball) unconditionally.” 

Kim Hyun-jun left a strong impression in front of national team coach Ryu Joong-il, who visited the Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 5th for a field trip. Kim Hyun-joon, who started as the number one center fielder, showed off his crazy presence from his first at-bat in the first inning. He pulled the slider on the 4th pitch from LG starter Choi Won-tae and ball count 2B-1S and connected it with a triple on the right wing. Kim Seong-yoon’s left fielder’s sacrifice fly scored lightly. 

With no runners in the third inning, he took a heavy hit from Choi Won-tae. Following Kim Seong-yoon’s right-handed hit, Koo Ja-wook’s left fielder hit home with a double. He retired with a grounder to second base in the 4th inning and a fly to right field in the 6th, but he showed his worth. He said humbly, “I didn’t know (director Ryu Joong-il) was here. I found out later. (Three base hits) seem to have been very lucky.” 

Kim Hyun-joon often communicates with Ryu Ji-hyeok (infielder), who transferred from KIA to Samsung. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “Ji-hyeok and his brother talk a lot about baseball. We talk technically as well as psychologically, and we get a lot of help.” 

When I told him, “I feel like I’m getting closer to Lee Jung-hoo,” he shook his hand, saying, “I’m not even a new blood. I’ve come a long way. As much as I’ve improved, you’ve continued to improve. I’m not as threatening a hitter as you are.” 

I am trying to keep a poker face at the plate. Kim Hyun-jun said, “Because it’s a battle of nerves with the pitcher, if you put on a sad expression at the plate, you can give the pitcher the impression that you’re losing. I try to keep a calm expression as much as possible. Instead, I tend to celebrate after hitting a hit.” 

On the other hand, manager Park Jin-man praised Kim Hyun-joon, saying, “His ability to create hits with his swing at a disadvantageous ball count stands out. He has a lot of room at bat.”

He then cheered for Kim Hyeon-joon’s promotion to the national team, saying, “Currently, isn’t it the number one candidate to fill the gap left by Lee Jung-hoo’s injury? It may be regrettable for the team, but it can grow further through international competitions. That will be a great help.”
