Pitcher Kim Kon-guk, who newly joined the KIA Tigers, expressed his feelings.
On the 11th, KIA announced that it had newly recruited pitchers Kim Kon-guk and Kim Seung-hyun, and infielder Kim Yong-wan.
Kim Geon-guk made his debut after being nominated by the Doosan Bears with the 6th overall pick in the 2nd 1st round of the 2006 rookie draft. However, he was released due to an elbow injury, and he is a veteran pitcher who has transferred to the independent baseball team Goyang Wonders, NC Dinos, KT Wiz, and Lotte Giants. 먹튀검증
In particular, in 2019 and 2020, he was put into the bullpen for more than 30 games at Lotte in 2019 and 2020, drawing attention as a long relief pitcher, but eventually suffered the pain of being released again at the end of 2021.
Kim Kon-guk, who had a difficult time without a job for a year, was able to continue his career as a player dramatically with the KIA Tigers reaching out.
He is recording an average ERA of 4.57 with 7 wins, 5 losses, 4 holds and 100 strikeouts in 88 KBO games and 132 innings.
Immediately after the transfer, Kim Kun-guk said on his personal SNS, “I have lived without saying the word retirement, but I am grateful to be able to postpone the word later.” I will work hard. Please support me a lot.”
