Kim was the top high school ace with 44 career high school appearances (134 innings), an 18-1 record and a 2.08 earned run average. A fireballer with a top speed of 152 km/h who also possesses stable control, he is expected to take a key role in the starting rotation in the upcoming Cheongna Dome era.
