Last Saturday, with this fantastic defense that prevented the 9th reversal crisis, Kim Ji-chan made his name known by raising the laughter of Seung-Hwan Oh, the'Stone Buddha'.

[Kim Ji-chan/Samsung Lions: I followed with thoughts of catching, but my body seems to react. It was also good. (Senior Oh Seung-hwan) continue to praise him for doing well.]

Last year, he was the best player in batting and stealing at the baseball world cup under the age of 19, but due to the small height of 163 centimeters, his gaze toward Kim Ji-chan was half the anticipation and half the concern.

When Samsung nominated Kim Ji-chan in the second round of last year, the criticism of the fans was heavy.

Kim Ji-chan changed her prejudices with her skills.

I didn't miss the opportunity to take the lead as an injured blank.

He was all-weather in offense, defense and Zhulu, and quickly emerged as a newcomer.

At Doug Out, it is said to be the biggest voice and loved by Samsung's cutie.

[Does the shoelace loosen like this all day? Ji

Chan-ah .] The other team players are showing interest by giving bats to small but strong Kim Ji-chan.

[Kim Ji-chan/Samsung Lions: I'm playing the same game with my seniors on TV, so it's new and just fun. The goal is to be the most helpful player in the team.]

Samsung Kim Ji-chan, a 19-year-old “little giant,” started his career vigorously from the first year of the pro.
