Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Kim Min-Tae is a 32-year-old central defender at Shonan Bellmare, rated 23.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 277th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (76.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Min-Tae.

Judged on this season alone, Min-Tae graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.078 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 47th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 32 Min-Tae is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.2, Min-Tae carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Shonan Bellmare finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
