# Kiwoom Kim Hye-seong, who is having an ‘important season’, survives after struggling in the beginning The 2024 season is very important for [Kim Hye-seong](https://hellototo.xyz/korean-trio-lpga-opening-match-lets-wave-the-national-flag/) (25, Kiwoom Heroes). This is because he is aiming to advance to the major leagues after finishing the season. There is no problem in advancing as he has already received the consent of the club, but what remains for him is to demonstrate his skills to the fullest. Kim Hye-seong, who had a busy schedule including the Seoul Series before the season, experienced some ups and downs after the opening, but has recently shown signs of coming back to life. Hye-seong Kim started as the third hitter and second baseman in the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League game against the Samsung Lions held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd, and played well with 3 hits and 4 RBIs in 5 at-bats, leading the team to an 8-3 victory. Kim Hye-seong hit a timely hit to right with 2 outs and bases loaded on 1st and 2nd bases with 2 outs in the top of the 5th inning, and then showed incredible concentration after 2 outs, including a sweep triple with 2 outs and bases loaded in the top of the 6th. She had three hits for the second straight game, adding another hit in the top of the ninth inning. Kim Hye-seong performed somewhat poorly at the beginning of the season. He was silent in his first five games, going 4-for-21 (0.174). Kim Hye-seong was supposed to play a central role for the team, whose batting lineup was weakened due to the absence of Lee Jeong-hoo (San Francisco Giants), but he could not. Her growth was also poor, dropping her first three games. Kim Hye-seong, who had been going back and forth between 1st and 3rd positions, has been fixed as the 3rd hitter since the 3-game series against the [LG Twins](https://hellototo.xyz/kiwoom-made-4-major-leaguers-kim-hye-sung-also-challenges-mlb/), and is slowly showing signs of recovery. He is showing what was expected of him by combining his unique contact ability with a single long hit. Another good news is the return of outfielder Lee Joo-hyung. Lee Joo-hyung was acquired last year when pitcher Choi Won-tae was sent to LG, and since the transfer, he has been very active with a batting average of 0.326, 6 home runs, and 36 RBIs in 69 games, raising expectations. He was out of action before the season due to a hamstring injury, but recovered faster than expected and returned to the first team. Lee Joo-hyung, who made his comeback against Samsung on the 2nd, showed off his power with 3 hits and 2 runs in 4 at-bats. An ideal picture was drawn where No. 1 hitter Lee Joo-hyung and No. 2 Dawson set the table, and No. 3 Kim Hye-seong and No. 4 Choi Joo-hwan 'eat it'. Kiwoom's batting line is still weak compared to other teams, but with Kim Hye-sung's rebound and Lee Joo-hyung's return, at least the top-center batting line has become something that cannot be ignored. Even from [Kim Hye-seong's](https://hellototo.xyz/lg-ham-deok-ju-undergoes-left-elbow-surgery-expected-to-return-in-june-july/) personal perspective, a stronger team batting order is bound to be a good background. This is because he can expect better grades as the checks that were focused on him are dispersed. Although it is still only the beginning of the season, Kim Hye-sung quickly recovered from her slump and got back on track. Kiwoom is also aiming for a rebound with three consecutive wins after four consecutive losses in the opening season. [19가이드03](https://www.19guide03.com)
