Scout report
Kim Kee-Hee is a 37-year-old central defender at Seattle Sounders, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 15 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 82% of Major League Soccer centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.6, ranking 509th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kee-Hee.
Judged on this season alone, Kee-Hee graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 71st of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.308 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 87th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 37 Kee-Hee is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kee-Hee missed 6 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 37 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, 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 6.6, Kee-Hee carries the 87th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
