Teams

Na Sung-Bum (Hangul: 나성범; born October 3, 1989 in Gwangju, South Korea) is a South Korean outfielder. He bats and throws left-handed. Na was selected tenth overall by the NC Dinos in the 2012 KBO Draft.

Amateur career

While attending Yonsei University, Na was considered the best hitting pitcher in the South Korean collegiate baseball league. As a freshman in 2008 Na batted a team-leading .329 with 11 RBI and posted a 3–1 record and a 1.70 ERA with 83 strikeouts (runner-up in the collegiate league) in 74.0 innings pitched.

As a sophomore in 2009 Na led the collegiate league in home runs (4) as a cleanup hitter and amassed 7 wins (2 complete games – 1 shutout) with a 2.93 ERA as a starting pitcher. Also, he was runner-up in strikeouts (76) and third in RBI (23). After the season, he was selected for the South Korea national baseball team and participated in the 2009 Asian Baseball Championship as a designated hitter and relief pitcher.

As a senior in 2011, Na struggled a bit posting a career-worst 3.76 ERA, but fanned 68 batters. In September 2011, Na was called up to the South Korean national team again for the 2011 Baseball World Cup held in Panama.

In 2012, he played 94games, finishing with a 0.303 batting average, 16 home runs, and 67 RBI. He won RBI leaders and Home Run Title in Korea Baseball Futures League.

In 2014, he was voted the top competition at the All-Star voting for the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). He garnered 968,013 votes from fans and another 193 votes from KBO coaches and fellow players to lead the 22 All-Star starters.[1] He was awarded a KBO Golden Glove Award on December 9.[2]
