Im Tae-hoon (born September 28, 1988) is a South Korean relief pitcher who played for the Doosan Bears in the KBO League.
Im pitched 5 shutout innings, struck out 9, and allowed only 2 hits to win over Panama in the preliminary round.
In his first KBO season, he pitched 101.1 innings with 7–3, a save, 20 holds (the league's runner-up), 93 strikeouts and a 2.40 ERA.
However, Im, who gave up six earned runs in six innings in his last five KBO games, also struggled during an exhibition game against the Netherlands Olympic team in Seoul on August 3, and on the next day he was finally replaced with Yoon Suk-min of the Kia Tigers by Team Korea manager Kim Kyung-moon.
Im, the youngest player on the Korean roster, appeared in 2 games against Japan and Chinese Taipei, and pitched 3.1 innings, allowing one run and five hits.
