Song Sung-mun, captain of the Kiwoom Heroes, left a strong impression on Major League Baseball scouts by smashing his 24th home run of the season against Cody Ponce of the Hanwha Eagles at Gocheok Sky Dome.

On August 28, with his team trailing 1-6 in the bottom of the third inning, Song powered a solo shot over the left field wall. This key moment unfolded before the eyes of scouts representing 11 MLB clubs: the Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, New York Mets, and Los Angeles Dodgers.

According to reports, these scouts attended the game to closely observe Song Sung-mun, who is expected to pursue a move to Major League Baseball via the posting system after this season. They also monitored Cody Ponce, who is working towards a return to the MLB.

Earlier in the game, Song showed patience at the plate by drawing a walk in the first inning. He followed up his sharp performance by connecting with Ponce for a home run in their second faceoff of the night.

Notably, Song has already hit two home runs off Ponce this season, highlighting his strong track record against the American pitcher.
