For SSG Landers' new pitcher Kim Min (26), Choi Jung (38) is a special presence.

Due to my father's influence, I went to Choi Jeong's alma mater from elementary school to high school, and now I play in a team.스포츠토토

Kim Min, who said, "I grew up watching Jung from an early age," first started playing baseball when he was a second grader at Daeil Elementary School. In the fifth grade, he transferred to Incheon Sungui Elementary School, followed in the footsteps of Choi Jeong, who graduated from Daeil Elementary School, Pyeongchon Middle School, and Yushin High School. Originally, he was scheduled to go to Yatapo High School, but he chose Choi Jeong's alma mater according to his father's will.

Kim Min, who moved to the KT Wiz and SSG trade on October 31 last year, is now a team with his idol. "I exercise together these days and meet often," he said, expressing his joy, saying, "My parents love it a lot."

Kim, whose main weapon is two-seam fastballs and sliders, recorded eight wins, four losses and 21 holds with an ERA of 4.31 in 71 games last season. He is also a versatile pitcher with starting experience, and plans to play as a must-winner this season. He said, "I want to play around 30 games including wins, holds, and saves."

When I heard about the trade, Kim Min, who expected to go to Samsung, said, "When I heard that it was SSG, I thought it was fortunate in many ways that it was close to home," adding, "It's a burden because it's a trade where the results are compared, but I won't care when I go into the season."

Dubbed KT's future, he also expressed his affection for his former team. "KT is not a team that collapses just because a few players have left the team," he said. "I prepared to do better, but I feel sorry. I hope we can meet at a higher level later on."
