Pitching
This guy has closer written all over him. He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Kim also has a decent changeup. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting
Kim is nothing special in the field. Basestealers have succeeded against Kim because his pickoff move is weak for a lefthander. Kim is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kim has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Lethbridge Typhoon have been known to use Kim as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Lethbridge Typhoon were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. Kim has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Lethbridge Typhoon will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Lethbridge Typhoon are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
