Kim In-Sik (Korean:김인식,Hanja: 金寅植) is a formermanager of theKorea Baseball Organization. He was the manager of theSouth Korean national baseball team in the late 2000s and again in the 2010s when he was named as such in June2015.

Kim played for amateur teams Crown Beer and Hanil Bank as a pitcher from 1965 to 1972, but with continuing arm and shoulder trouble, he retired after the 1972 season.

In 1973 Kim managed Baemoon High School until 1977, and also coached Sangmoon High School during 3 years.

He was the manage of theDongguk University baseball team from 1982 to 1985. Then, Kim moved into the professional ranks in 1986 when he became the bench coach of theHaitai Tigers from 1986 to 1989.

Kim managed during his career theSsangbangwool Raiders from 1990 to 1992 and theDoosan Bears from 1995 to 2003. For the Bears, he led Doosan toKorean Series titles in 1995 and 2001.

In November 2004, Kim was hired to manage theHanwha Eagles. One month later he suffered astroke but recovered enough to stay on as manager.^[1] Kim led the Eagles to theKorean Series in 2006 but the team lost to the Samsung Lions. The Eagles did not qualify for the postseason in 2009, and Kim resigned after the season.

He was thebench coach of theSouth Korea national baseball team in the2000 Summer Olympics under managerKim Eung-Yong. The team won the Bronze medal after defeatingJapan by a 3-1 score. Then Kim was named national team manager and led his team to the gold medal in the2002 Asian Games, defeatingChinese Taipei 4-3 in the gold medal match.

He was the manager of the South Korean national team that played in the2006 World Baseball Classic and won every game they played in Pool A. They advanced to round two, again winning all three games to secure a place in the semifinals. Upon reaching the semifinals, the South Korean government announced that it would waive for the players on the team the mandatory two-year military service required of all young South Korean men. However, at the semifinals, the South Korean team lost to Japan, whom they had beaten twice previously. This led to controversy in South Korea over the regulations of the WBC concerning the fact that South Korea had to face Japan three times and that it was Japan that was allowed to go to the finals, when it had four victories and three losses up to that point, two of those losses to South Korea, while the South Korean team, which had only one loss and had already beaten Japan twice, was eliminated from the finals. Kim also led the South Korean team to the final of the2009 World Baseball Classic, where they finished in second place.
