Kim Hye-seong (24), who led the Hangzhou Asian Games (AG) baseball team as captain, expressed gratitude to his ‘senior’ Park Se-woong (27, Lotte Giants). 
Korea won the gold medal with a 2-0 win over Chinese Taipei in the Hangzhou AG baseball final held at the Shaoxing Baseball and Softball Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 7th. Kim Hye-seong, who played first hitter and second baseman, performed well in both offense and defense throughout the tournament. In the first game of the Super Round against Japan, he reached base 3 times, including the final run, leading to a 2-0 victory, and in the bottom of the 9th inning of the final against Taiwan, with one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he caught opposing batter Wu Nian-ting's ground ball and put the runner on first base. After directly tagging, he even caught the batter runner with an accurate throw to first base. 
Kim Hye-seong was busy off the pitch as well. As captain, he played a central role in the Hangzhou AG national team, which was mainly composed of young players due to age (25 years old) and seniority (4 years after his professional debut) restrictions. In particular, he tried to lift the team spirit, which had sank after losing 0-4 in the group stage match against Taiwan. 
Kim Hye-seong said, “I have been captain of my team (Kiwoom), but this was my first time on the national team. “Honestly, it wasn’t easy,” he said with a smile, saying, “I was able to finish the competition well because my peers helped me a lot, and my juniors also followed along.” 
Kim Hye-seong chose Park Se-woong, the most senior member of the AG national team, as the teammate who helped her the most in carrying out her role as captain. Kim Hye-seong said, “Honestly, when all the players were gathered, there were people more senior than me (Park Se-woong and Choi Won-jun), so I was cautious. However, his older brother (Park) Se-woong stepped forward and brought good energy to the team. “Thanks to that, I also said what I had to say depending on the team situation without hesitation,” he said, raising his voice. 
In fact, Park Se-woong took care of everyone from Na Kyun-an, a junior with no national team experience, to Jang Hyun-seok, the youngest high school student, and played the role of virtually managing the pitching staff. He served as a starting pitcher against Japan and performed his assigned duties well, allowing no runs in 6 innings.
Kim Hye-seong, who supported Park Se-woong in the Japan game as a member of the center line (second baseman), praised Park Se-woong again, saying, "Se-woong's pitch was so good that I felt comfortable as a defender. Off the field, my brother was my strong supporter. I was most grateful." I stopped.      먹튀검증
