<Kim Hye-seong / WBC National Team 2nd Baseman> “If I want to challenge the major leagues, I have to stand at the top in the KBO league (feeling)… I thought that it would be good to increase my long hits even if it was for my baseball goal, except for the major leagues. I’m trying to make up for it.”
