Scout report
Kim Min-Tae is a 32-year-old central defender at Shonan Bellmare, rated 20.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 63rd of 98 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (56.4% 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 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 20 of the 20 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.078 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 11th of 20 of the 20 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 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shonan Bellmare finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 20.3, Min-Tae carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 20, 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).
