Hyun-soo Kim (Hangul: 김현수; Korean pronunciation: [kim.ɦjʌn.su]; born January 12, 1988) is a South Korean professional baseball outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Doosan Bears of the KBO League. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.
Kim attended Shinil High School in Seoul, South Korea. In September 2005, he competed for the South Korea national junior team, that was runner-up at the 6th Asian Junior Baseball Championship in Seoul, South Korea. At the championship, he went 1-for-4 as a backup outfielder in the South Korean roster.
In November 2005, Kim won the Lee Yeong-min Award, given annually to the most outstanding high school hitter in South Korea.
Upon graduation from high school, Kim made himself eligible for the 2006 KBO First-Year Player Draft, but went undrafted. Instead, he was signed by the Doosan Bears as an undrafted free agent. He spent the whole 2006 season playing for the reserve team of the Bears.
In the 2007 season, Kim took over the starting job after starting outfielder Yoo Jae-woong was sidelined with a sprained ankle in the beginning of the season. Kim hit .273 with 5 home runs and 32 runs batted in in 99 games, and finished runner-up for Rookie of the Year.
