Kiwoom Heroes pitcher Son Hyun-ki participated in the club rookie camp, which has been in Kaohsiung, Taiwan since the 6th. He has been sweating to take another leap forward since he finished his first professional season.

Son Hyun-ki, who is in the rookie camp, said, "I exercise more than I did in the season. I have a lot to learn," adding, "Coach Oh Joo-won also said, "My goal is to maintain my pace now."
Son Hyun-ki is a promising player that Kiwoom has a lot of expectations for. It attracts attention in that it stands out for its excellent ball control and ability to complete breaking balls.

However, he suffered ups and downs in the 2024 season, his first year as a pro player. He recorded 7.53 ERA in six games, one loss and 14 ⅓ innings in the first team. The Futures League accepted his report card with four losses and 33 ⅓ innings in 11 games.

Looking back on his first season as a pro, Son said, "I only did well in the beginning. I was disappointed because I was only good for about two weeks and I was so bad afterwards. I want to keep doing it from the next season. I think I need confidence to reduce my ups and downs. I think I will change my mind if I make personal efforts, don't think much about it on bad days, and pass it on coolly."

In the second season of the pro league, he needs to grow more than in the first season. He displayed potential at the 2024 Ulsan-KBO Fall League held last month. In two games, he lost one game and posted an ERA of 1.29 in seven innings. He also posted stable pitching with only two walks.
Son said, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I've always done well in my second year since I was in middle school. So I'm looking forward to next year. That's how technically I'm training," Son said. "When I was in the Fall League, my coach always said, 'The first ball should always catch a strike and go to the advantage of the ball count.' I tried to throw it in the strike zone, even if it wasn't a strike, but I got a good result.

Sohn Hyun-ki, Kiwoom's top rounder, said, "I joined the team as the 19th overall pick, and there were many players who were better than me. I don't care about the order of nomination, but I want to show baseball that suits my skills. I'm not good at everything just because I'm ranked as a member," he said. "If I make good use of my fastballs and sliders, which are my strengths, I think I can withstand one or two innings well."
Finally, Son said, "I showed good performance early in the season, but I didn't like it. I will try to become a player who maintains consistency so that I don't show such performance next year."

Kiwoom will celebrate the 2025 season with one foreign pitcher and two foreign hitters. As such, Korean pitchers are in desperate need of stellar performance. Sohn Hyun-ki, who can be used as starting pitcher and bullpen pitcher in various ways, will likely be important to both the team and the players.
