'Yoon Suk Min' Special Video

Several mlb teams want Yoon.

Even though it is questioned whether he has good mentality to overcome the pressure of mlb,
I pretty sure that he can be a good player in mlb.

Recently, he is pretty sure of his ability to play in mlb.

Also, his agent Scott Boras introduced him to Yankees.

I strongly think that mlb teams need to buy several Korean players since they have pretty good ability which is demonstrated at international competitions. Also, they are pretty inexpensive compared to Japanese players. Moreover, as you can see Ryu in Dodgers, Korean players can be a good ticket-sellers and uniform sellers. So, this time you can see Yoon's pitching vidieo.

Seong-Bum Na

Name : Seong-Bum Na

Birth : 1989. 10. 3
Height : 183 cm
Weight : 95 kg
Position : Outfielder

Career
- NC dinosour(2013- ) :  0.252 avg/ 12 home-runs / 84 hits

Characters 
- Mr. Na was originally a pitcher. However, when NC picked him as the first drafter from university, the manager Kyung-Moon Kim suggested him to change his position from pitcher to batter since he has strong arms and good batting sense. Even though he was really good pitcher in the university, he did not hesitate so much to change. Also, he is good at base-running and batting. It means that he is a similar player to Shin-Soo Choo. As Mr. Choo is called as five-tools player, I think that Mr. Na is also similar type of player to Mr. Choo.  Since he is a rookie in Korean Baseball, he cannot claim Free Agent until 2020. For this reason, I suggest that scouters have to observe him for a long time. I am sure that he will be a superstar and he will develop himself to play in the big-league.

Jeong-Ho Hong

Name : Jeong-Ho Hong

Birth : 1989. 8. 12
Position : Defender(Center)
Height ; 188 cm Weight : 77 kg
Career : 
- JeJu United (2009- )
- guangzhou Asian game national team (2010)
- AFC Asian cup national team (2011)

Hong Jeong-Ho is a Korean young defender who will take responsibility for Korean national team. As Korean team does not have good defender after Hong Myung-Bo, Mr. Hong will be an inheritor of Myung-Bo who is the manager of Korea team. 

He can earn air balls easily with his height. Also, using his height, he can be a powerful player at set-play situation. Also, he has a safe ball-keeping and passing ability as a defender so he can pass the ball to the front. He is fast and has good physical condition. Although his physical condition is not the same as foreign players, he has better speed and quick instincts. 

I think he will be a great defender who will represent Korean national team. For that reason, many European teams need to focus on new Korean player. While I am writing this posting, Augsburg almost finishes to transfer Mr. Hong. Also, he does not have to take his military service because of his cruciate ligament injuries.

Let's see how he will play in Bundesliga and next Worldcup.

Suk-Min Yoon

Name : Suk-Min Yoon

Birth : 1986. 7. 24

Height : 184 cm / Weight : 85 kg

Position : Pitcher(Starter and bullpen) - Right Handed Pitcher
Career
- KIA Tigers(2005- ) : 293 GAMES 3.17 ERA, 72 WINS 58 LOSES, 40 SAVES 11 HOLD

Personality
 - He has weak mental; he has a trauma.
   Few years ago, when he played against LOTTE GIANTS, he pitched a hit by pitch to a famous player. After that happening, many fans of lotte hooted and rebuked him. From then, he had hard time to overcome that trauma and he did not pitch balls to near to the batter. For this reason, I am sure that he is a good right handed pitcher but he has to overcome his mental weakness if he wants to play in MLB or NPB.

Ability
- Fastball : 140-153 km/h 
- Slider : his finishing weapon - 115-145 km/h (fast slider)
- change-up : 113-135 km/h : to earn count
- Sinker(knuckle curve) : to rob timing
- Fork : 118-134 km/h 

He has many kinds of balls to pitch. His fastball is good since he has good slider and circle change-up. One of the greatest traits of him is that his balls have good movements. He also has smooth arm swings and he does not have any differences of his pitching form so many cannot find his disadvantages easily. He also has good ability to pick-off. As he is a right-handed ace pitcher of south korea, he has abundant of international experiences. However, he is quite hasty so it leads him to allow a long hit.


I think that he wants to play with MLB teams. But, It is difficult since his record is not good in this season and he showed scouters some bad performances. Although his record is not good, he has chance to play with NPB and MLB with minor league contracts. Maybe, he wants to earn money like Ryu, but it will be difficult. Also, if he wants to play with NPB, I think he can pitch as a starter but if he wants MLB, he has to consider other roles such as setup or long-relief. I think that he has good slider and other breaking balls that can upgrade his fastballs. Therefore, If he will complement his mental problems, he can pitch in MLB or NPB any where he wants to pitch.

He has to lower his standard of money and roles. 

When I watched Toronto BlueJay's match last year, I felt that it needed to complement bullpen pitchers. I think Yoon is good for them since he is not so expensive and he can collect many korean students in Toronto. So, I suggest him to transfer to Toronto!

Bo-Kyung Kim

Name : Bo-Kyung Kim(Second Ji SUNG PARK)

Birth : 1989. 10. 6

Position : MF(Right and Left are possible, rarely  center too.)

Height : 178 cm

Career

- Sereso Osaka(Japan, 2009. 12 - 2012. 7)

- Cardiff City(Wales 2012. 7 - )

- London Olympic Bronze Medal

Personality(deligent)
 - Before he transferred to Cardiff, he was naive and did not talk a lot. However, after playing with Cariff, he started fixing his personality to affable. And compared to other national players, he is quite active so he learned english faster than other players such as Kagawa shinji, man utd player. Now he is fluent in speaking english so there is no problem with having a conversation with coaching staffs.

Ability
- A multiplayer since he can play as center, right and left midlefileder.
- He has a good finishing abiity compared to other players who play as the same position with him.
- He is good to find areas to pass or vacant areas to go into.
- He is a good dribbler and good at teamwork.

In my opinion, he will saty Cardiff city for several years unless it will degrade to Championship again. Since last match up against Manchester City, he and his team earned confidence that they can play well against big clubs. I think he fits with Man UTD since it prefers soccer with good wingers. But he has to complement his disadvantages such as physical fight. If he plays well in this season, I think many big clubs will target him since he does not have military obligation as he won the olympic medal and also he is a korean so a team which wants to advance Asian markets, Kim is a great choice.

Chung-Young Lee

Name : Chung-Yong Lee

Birth : 1988. 7. 2

Position : Midfleder(Mostly Right Winger but left is also available)

 

Career :
- FC SEOUL (2006-2009)
- Bolton Wonderous (2009. 7 - ) : 121 games 13 goals

He is great player since he has good dribble ability and first touch. Also, his speed is quite fast so he uses his speed when dribbling sides. As well as his speed, he is also calm near the post and he has good basics. As his role is a winger, he has excellent crossing ability. Moreover, he passes well in narrow area.

Now, Bolton is in championship league which is secod division of English Premier League. For this reason, many korean fans want to watch his mathces in EPL. But EPL teams have hard time to transfer him since bolton requires so much transfer fee.

I hope many high class teams target him as their key player. Since he quited middle school, he does not have military obligation. It is good advantage!!

Many think he matches well with Liverpool because it becomes weak at side midlefileders. In my opinion, I think if Man Utd will choose him, it will never regret transferring him. Since it wants to return Ronaldo to Old Trafford, It seems almost impossible as Real Madrid requires so much money. Also, Valencia and Nani are not good as past seasons. Or, if he wants Primera league, I think Valencia is also good choice. Few years ago, Valencia was a great team with left Vicente and Right Joaquin. I think Lee will play like him.

Anyway, hope to hear good news about LEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Seung-Hwan Oh

Name : Seung-Hwan Oh

Birth : 1982. 7. 15

Position : Pitcher(Closer)

Height : 178 cm, Weight : 92 kg

Career

Samsung Lions (2005-) : 432 games, 1.62 ERA, 271 Saves

After this 2013 Season, He will be looking for going to play with Major League Baseball team.

His character is that he has great mental that he does not have any emotional changes even though opponents hit hits against him. He just pitches his balls.
As well as his mental, he also has great ability to pitch. He cannot pitch several kinds of breaking balls. But he is like a Mariano Rivera. They are both alike since Mr. Oh almost only pitches fastballs like Rivera only pitches cutter. 
His fastball speed is 95miles to 99 miles. Of course, he cannot pitch 99 miles for every moment but at least he has 95 miles fastball with great command. He sometimes pitches slider but it is not a perfect breaking ball. So I think that he has to complement his slider to pitch on the greatest stage.
Also, he has great international experience with Korean nation team.

In my opinion, even though many japanese  baseball teams want him, he will choose major league baseball. So, what are possibilities? 

Probably, teams which do not have good bullpen pitchers will negotiate with him. Such as Baltimore, Colorado, Toronto and Seattle.

Maybe... 2 year major contracts - 7,500,000$ will be possible; it is less than Fujikawa who plays with Chicago Cups.
