Na Seong-beom wore the uniform of his hometown team, KIA, for a total of up to 15 billion won, including a down payment of 6 billion won, an annual salary of 6 billion won for 6 years, and an option of 3 billion won.



This is the highest amount and tie record set by Lee Dae-ho, who returned from the United States in 2017, when he signed a four-year contract with Lotte.



[Na Seong-beom / KIA Outfielder: It feels new to come to the team I used to watch baseball on when I was young.

(FA market) I think my heart moved a lot because of your interest in me from the first day.]



Na Seong-beom, who was born in Gwangju and debuted in NC in 2013, is a representative who recorded a batting average of .30, 1 penny, 2 R, and 212 home runs over 9 seasons. It is a native beetle.



KIA, which suffered the lowest slugging rate for a professional baseball team in the 21st century by recording just twice the number of 33 home runs recorded by Na Seong-beom this season, expects to quench his slugging thirst by recruiting Na Seong-beom.



As Na Seong-beom became the 8th player in history to exceed 10 billion won in total FA contracts, 4 people including LG Kim Hyun-soo, NC Park Geon-woo and Doosan Kim Jae-hwan exceeded the '10 billion won in total' in this FA market alone.



The total amount of free agent contracts this winter currently exceeds 67.4 billion won, and considering the absence of uncontracted free agents such as Yang Hyun-jong and Son Ah-seop, it is expected to easily break through the all-time high of 76.6 billion won in 2016.
