The Kiwoom Heroes of the pro baseball league announced on Thursday that they have signed contracts with all 50 people eligible for salary contracts for the 2025 season. Notably, Song Seong-moon has surpassed the 300 million won club for the first time in his career by signing a contract at 300 million won, up 13.8 percent from 130 million won last season. It was also the highest increase among those eligible for salary contracts within his team.
Song Sung-moon, who joined the professional league as the 49th in the second round of the 2015 Nexen Heroes, has been keeping the Heroes infield since 2018 after resolving his military service through the Sangmu Baseball Team at an early date.
In particular, he played 601 at-bats in 142 games in 2022, recording a batting average of 0.247/13 homers/79 RBIs, and was expected to become the next troubleshooter of his team. However, he only played 438 at-bats in 104 games in the 2023 season, posting a batting average of 0.263/5 homers/60 RBIs.
Then, Song finally exploded his potential in the 2024 season. He recorded his career-high batting average of 0.340, making 179 hits, 19 homers, 104 RBIs, 88 runs scored/on-base percentage of 0.409/on-base percentage of 0.518/OPS of 0.927 in full bloom.
The national team has also been recognized for leading the national team as the captain of Kiwoom for two consecutive years. He joined the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 national team and put on the national team's first national flag as an adult. He was then given the national team captain's armband by coach Ryu Joong-il.
Through his career-high performance, Song Sung-moon ranked second in the Golden Glove vote after the end of the season. Although the number of votes was only four, considering that the first place was Kim Do-young (KIA), who was expected to win the unanimous prize as an unrivaled MVP, it was also a glorious second place award, close to 40.
In fact, Song was also a big third baseman who was expected to play for a long time at Kiwoom. He has contributed to the team consistently and sincerely, displaying strong defense capability that enabled him to take charge of both the second and first basemen without difficulty. However, his performance did not meet expectations, but he has finally become the best player in the league through the 2024 season.
And his performance was rewarded through his annual salary. Considering that the Heroes are a valuable team with an annual salary of 100 million won, the symbolic number of 300 million won is a way to guess how highly the club recognized Song Seong-moon's value.
In the 2025 season, Song will have to fill the void left by Kim Hye-sung, who moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers and left for the Major League. Analysts also say that Song may move to second base.
Nevertheless, expectations for this season are even higher given the possibility and performance of Song, who showed off his national team and his national team side-by-side last year. The beginning of Song will begin from now on.
