His fastball was too cold for the team. Kim Seo-hyun (21), the relief pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles who threw a fastball up to 158 kilometers per hour, recorded no run in 10 consecutive games. He appears as a "Mr. Zero."안전놀이터
Kim Seo-hyun ended the game with three consecutive strikeouts in the top of the ninth inning in a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 13th. Hanwha's 7-1 victory.
His six-point lead wasn't enough to save, but Kim Seo-hyun's pitching was very impressive. At Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the day, his pitch was extremely cold with 7.4 degrees Celsius and 4.4 meters per second wind and rain. Starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju of the Hanwha Eagles, who is the fastest fastball pitcher in the KBO League, also posted his maximum speed of 153 kilometers per hour, the lowest among the four games he played this season. His average speed of pitches was 149 kilometers per hour, down 5 kilometers from the game against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on Tuesday.
Moon won his first game of the season with three hits, no outs, six strikeouts and one run (non- earned) during six innings, but suffered from severe cold weather. "It was so cold that I automatically adjusted my speed. It was so windy that I could feel the coldness on the mound," he said after the game.
However, Kim Seo-hyun, who appeared in the top of the ninth inning, hit a fastball that could not help but catch cold. Wearing a short-sleeved shirt, Kim added a fastball of 156 kilometers per hour from the first pitch against Lim Byung-wook, the first batter, drawing cheers from fans.
Kim Seo-hyun, who started the game by swinging and striking out Lim Byung-wook with a 156km high fastball, gained up the gear by inserting a 158km fastball into the next batter, Jeon Tae-hyun. He then struck out swinging and hitting a 155km fastball, which was the lowest on the fifth pitch from the ball count 2-2.
In an attempt to gain momentum, Kim also struck out on three pitches. He garnered a strike by hitting a 151-km fastball low toward his body, and induced Kim to swing and miss with a low slider on the outside at the second pitch. He added a 157-km fastball to his body at the third pitch to complete the "KKK" inning.
He pitched 11 pitches, and posted nine strikes. His maximum speed of 158 kilometers, and two pitch of 156 kilometers on average were sufficient. He was tall at 188 centimeters and tall with strong arm swings and right arms as if swinging a whip. Batters were not able to cope with the situation as balls that were difficult to hit were already entered the zone. Three out of eight fastballs led to swing and miss.
Kim Seo-hyun has garnered three saves and one hold in 10 games this season, and has not given up a single run. He pitched eight ⅔ innings, allowing only three hits and two walks, and is on a scoreless streak, striking out seven. His WHIP of 0.58 and his hit rate of 111.1 percent are powerful enough to give a impression that he is the ultimate winner of this season.
Kim Seo-hyun, who had a hold in the opening match of the interim must-win group, was promoted to the closing team as the main closing player moved down to the second division for readjustment. He got off to a good start by blocking his first save in the top of the ninth inning with a 5-4 lead against KIA in Daejeon on April 29. "Going into the sixth, seventh and ninth innings gives different pressure. It was difficult to start, but I started well," Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon said. "It is not easy to finish the game. Sometimes I will make blon saves, but I hope I can wear the finishing outfit as I gain experience."
Kim Seo-hyun said, "I don't think the finish is in place yet. I think it's a temporary position for Joo Hyun-sang to take. I want to finish it, but I can't keep up with Joo Hyun-sang yet. "I will do my best in the mission given to me," he lowered his posture, but added two more saves afterwards. He also maintained a one-point lead against Daegu Samsung on the 5th and Doosan on the 9th at Jamsil. All three of his saves this year were scored with a one-point gap, and his mental strength is also passing. Kim Seo-hyun, who achieved his dream of becoming a closer in his third year of joining the team, is growing as fast as his ball speed.
