KBO Star Hyeseong Kim Posted for MLB Teams

Hyeseong Kim, a 25-year-old South Korean All-Star second baseman, has been officially posted for Major League Baseball teams to sign from now until January 3, 2025. After a standout season with the Kiwoom Heroes, where he achieved career highs of a .326 batting average, 11 home runs, and 75 RBIs, Kim is seen as a significant prospect for MLB teams. The posting process allows all teams to negotiate a contract, with the Kiwoom Heroes receiving a fee based on the guaranteed amount in Kim's contract. Potential interest has been expressed by several teams, including the Chicago Cubs, who view Kim as a strategic fit to balance their lineup. Kim's impressive career statistics include a .304 batting average and 211 stolen bases over eight seasons, making him a valuable addition to any team. If he does not sign with an MLB team, Kim will return to the Heroes and not be eligible for posting again until after November 1, 2025.
