The person who ended the LG Twins’ no-hit, no-run slump was none other than Kim Beom-seok (19), who was in his second year with the team.
Kim Beom-seok recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats in the match against Samsung held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 24th. Kim Beom-seok’s hit was the only hit LG had against Samsung that day -there.
LG, which lost 0-6 in the first scoreless game of the season, narrowly escaped the situation with no team hits or runs.
On this day, LG was stranded by the excellent pitching of the opponent’s left-handed starting pitcher, Seung-Hyun Lee, and received 6 walks until the 5th inning, but struggled without a hit . Seung-Hyun Lee was replaced at the start of the 6th inning with 89 pitches.
Kim Beom-seok hit Tae-hoon Kim’s two-seam fastball at 140 km/h with one out in the 6th inning, trailing 0-3, and recorded a hit to left field. This was the first and last hit recorded by LG on the 24th.
Kim Beom-seok started four straight games, starting with the first game of the doubleheader against SSG Landers on the 21st, and recorded hits in all four games. LG coach Yeom Kyeong-yeop also says, “We should continue to use it when times are good.”

Kim Beom-seok, born in 2004, is a promising player who joined LG in 2023 after being drafted 7th in the first round. He hit 10 home runs during his third year at Gyeongnam High School. It was the most home runs in a season since high school baseball switched to using wooden bats. Immediately after the draft, LG general manager Cha Myeong-seok was confident of success, saying, “The proper name Kim Beom-seok will become synonymous with Korean baseball.” »
Kim Beom-seok made a spectacular debut in the Korean Series (KS) last year and recorded 1 hit in 1 at bat. Before this season, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop announced that he planned for Kim Beom-seok to wear the first team’s starting mask for about one game per week. As a result, quality control (QC) coach Ho-Jun Lee and drum coach Gyeong-Wan Park provided intensive guidance.
However, injuries and weight held him back. Kim Beom-seok complained of internal oblique muscle pain during field training in Arizona, United States, and had to return home. Although the injury was not serious, Coach Yeom diagnosed it as being caused by poor management of his weight, which was well over 100 kg.
Director Yeom Kyung-yeop couldn’t continue to ignore Kim Beom-seok’s talent.

Kim Beom-seok was promoted to the first team three weeks after the opener and quickly became the “No. 1 pinch hitter”. In the first and second games of the doubleheader against SSG Landers on the 21st, he played with 4 hits and 4 RBIs in 8 at-bats, including a grand slam home run. After the grand slam in the final game of the first game, in the second game, with the team trailing 4-5, the leadoff batter struck in the top of the 9th inning, setting the stage for a 5-5 tie.
Initially, the starting opportunity was to be available when a left-handed starting pitcher appeared, but now the opportunity to start against a right-handed pitcher is also available. The batting order also moved to number 3.
Kim Beom-seok is in good form with a .421 batting average in 7 games this season.
Coach Yeom Kyeong-yeop said, “Kim Beom-seok has a good swing. Although he is young, he has contact skills and knows how to handle breaking balls well. His hitting skills will further improve: “In relation to the players. the same age as 19, his shots are definitely different. “If Kim Beom-seok plays well, he can give tired players a rest in turns.”
In the game on the 24th, he played a “big role” in saving LG from a crisis that could have resulted in a “no-hit, no-run team.”
