The 2024 season is the year of Kim Do-young (21) of the KIA Tigers. He will definitely be the MVP of the regular season. What we are curious about is his performance in his first fall baseball game. The Korean Series, which starts from Friday, is a time to check Kim's power and current status once again.

It is true that batters are more difficult to produce performance than during the regular season in short-term games. This is because pitchers pitch more than during the regular season. They rarely have to deal with chasing teams. However, Kim has a shot even if he loses his average.

In the worst-case scenario, the bat can contribute to the team even if it does not listen to the bat. Manager Lee Bum-ho has already declared that he will not refrain from playing foot baseball at the level of the regular season. Kim Do-young's foot is quite a sharp weapon.메이저놀이터

After the final regular season game on Sept. 30, Kim recharged himself for three days and took the bat again. He hit home runs in succession at the match against Sangmu on Sept. 9 and the match against Lotte on Sept. 14, achieving "unofficial 40-40" results. He confessed that he has had a habit where his hand goes out first when hitting a ball again because he was conscious of homers at the end of the regular season. As he was not conscious of home runs, however, he garnered good batting performances one after another. Basically, his ability to produce high-quality batting is excellent due to his low leg movements and strong body rotation.

Therefore, Kim Do-young feared that the Korean Series would be less hit after the match against Lotte. However, when Lee Bum-ho learned about this while conducting a training session at Hampyeong Challengers Field on the 15th, he shook his head. The view is that Kim Do-young's batting graph itself does not have a big curve.

Manager Lee Bum-ho said, "Other than the beginning of the season, there were few times when I was out. I've been a batter before, but I'm a corvette. But Doyoung is able to maintain his batting average to some extent (maintaining a high batting average). Just because he doesn't have homers, he has consistently had hits. Even if he misses a point because his feet are fast. If you get many hits, you will get long balls. There are many things you can do because you are fast. I don't care. I will do well in the Korean Series."

Kim Do-young's experience at the Asian Professional Baseball Championship in November last year will definitely help the Korean Series. Manager Lee Bum-ho said, "I played big games in Japan last year. Tokyo Dome can accommodate more than 40,000 people. Having played such games, there will be no problem at all. Young players seem to be less nervous these days. Back then, I was nervous and thought, "What if I can't do it well?" But now they don't seem to care what the Korean Series is, and they just play it without hesitation. I think it will be okay."
