Finding Kim Sung-wook has begun.

Prior to joining the Armed Forces Sports Unit, he performed like an albatross. He ended his season at Sangmu early after undergoing surgery to remove a bone fragment from his right elbow in 2022, and joined the team after being discharged from the military. He got off to a good start last year. He led the NC Dinosaurs' rise early in the season and shouted "Jaegi (再起)" but his injury dampened his spirits. This is what Kim Seong-wook (31), the "hack" of NC's outfield, said. Reflecting on his unstable past, Kim showed strong commitment to finding Kim this year.

Kim Sung-wook, who met at the Tucson NC Spring Camp in Arizona on the 8th (Korea time), is sweating through practice and training with his teeth clenched. He is determined to find certainty about himself by looking back on what he lacked last year. The 2024 season's "Finding Kim Sung-wook" is going smoothly.

"I had a good start last year, but due to lack of training after the surgery, I think I suffered a hamstring injury right away," Kim said. "I think that was when I got nervous and stuff. My first task at this camp is self-confidence. I think I need to find confidence in myself first. If my mental issues are resolved well, I will be able to achieve good results this year."

He came to the U.S. two weeks before the camp schedule and built his body, which helped him find Kim Sung-wook. He learned a lot from Hur Il, a junior high school senior and a batting coach at Azusa Pacific University.

Kim Sung-wook said, "I came to the U.S. first, exercised, built my body, and talked a lot about hitting with Heo Il-hyung, gaining some confidence. I'm carrying out what I learned in camp." "Rather than making a big change in hitting, he taught me and helped me understand how to prepare so that I had to come out in the direction I wanted, such as my swing trajectory and the trajectory of the ball flying. Heo Il-hyung speaks really easily," he explained. "If I have a chance, I want to come in earlier next year and exercise together," he added.

With the departure of foreign center fielder Jason Martin this season, NC's main center fielder is vacant. He is competing with Choi Jung-won and Jae-hwan. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is actually ahead of the competition for the main player because it is a proven resource in offense and defense.

I am confident as far as defense is concerned. "Defending does not have much pressure except for physical strength in the second half of the season," Kim said. "As I have gained a lot of experience, I have more expectations than pressure. I am most curious about the results if I continue to do what I have in mind this year. However, if I am sick, most of the injuries will come to my legs, so I will take care of that."

He stressed once again that he is confident in himself. This year's goal is to play in all 144 games.

"Actually, I have always had anxiety. I was nervous when things went well, and I was more anxious when things didn't go well," Kim said. "I think the most important thing is how to have confidence. If you have confidence, I think you will get good performances and good results." "If you set specific figures as your goal, it has backfired. I want to play in all the games this year without any injuries," Kim said.
