"Song, 29, is a left-handed hitter who has played all nine seasons of his career with that club. He posted a sub-.700 OPS every year between 2021-23 but has taken a leap forward at the plate over the past two years. Song hit .340/.409/.518 last year and is coming off an equally impressive '25 campaign. He popped a career-best 26 home runs with a .315/.387/.530 slash across 646 plate appearances."
"Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs gave Song a 45 FV grade, which is commensurate with a mid-level prospect from the typical organization's top 30 list. Longenhagen credited him with plus power to the pull side and a plus arm at third base, where he has spent most of his KBO career. He's a good athlete who stole 25 bases this year and has gone 46-48 in stolen base attempts over the past two seasons."
Sung-mun Song, 29, has been posted by the Kiwoom Heroes and is available to MLB teams during a 30-day posting window. MLB clubs can begin negotiations Saturday morning and must sign him by 5:00 pm Eastern on December 21 or he will remain with the Heroes. Song is a left-handed hitter who spent nine seasons with the club and has improved substantially over the past two years, hitting .340/.409/.518 last year and .315/.387/.530 this season with a career-best 26 home runs in 646 plate appearances. Among KBO hitters with 500+ plate appearances he ranked top six in average and on-base percentage and third in slugging and home runs. He walked 10.5% of the time and struck out 14.9%. A 45 FV grade was assigned, indicating mid-level top-30 prospect value, with plus pull-side power, a plus arm at third base, solid athleticism, and 25 steals this year. Questions remain about chase tendencies and an uphill swing that can be vulnerable to high pitches.
