In particular, when I was pointed out that my hind legs were quickly dragged out and lacked strength, I grabbed my legs and the strength at the tip of my ball improved.” He explained, “I thought speed was important in college, but when I came to the pros, I was training while thinking more about the importance of movement and the tip of the ball.” Yuseong Kim recorded the highest distance of 149 km in the Futures League.
