Brady Anderson worked out Hyun Soo Kim, the latest Orioles player from Korea. Anderson comes away with a glowing review:
“I’ve thrown to him several times. He has a really solid swing. You can tell he’s had massive amounts of practice. He’s very used to taking batting practice. In America, especially when you reach the majors, players are very aware of the qualities of their practice. My understanding of Korea is they take massive amounts of swings, so he’s able to put more effort into our sessions.
“He’s just got what seems like a really simple swing, but he hits line drive after line drive. But the thing about him is, he’s got a big personality. You’ll see when you meet him. He doesn’t speak English, but somehow he’s funny. You know what he’s saying in Korean and it’s funny. He fits right in.
“He’s about having fun, but he doesn’t back away from work. That’s a great combination trait. He’s just a fun guy to be around. But also, you can tell by his record that when it comes to playing, he posts every game. That’s been his track record.”
In addition, Anderson notes Kim is agile for a big man. I suspect the Orioles fans will have fun watching him hit line drives as well.
