KIA Tigers infielder Kim Do-young set a new record for the most goals scored in a KBO league season. However, he left a regret as he made two critical mistakes on the day he set the milestone. He reached the 30th mistake faster than he achieved 40 homers and 40 steals in this season.스포츠토토
Kim Do-young started as the first batter and third baseman against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on September 19 and scored one hit, one walk, and one point in four at-bats.
Kim Do-young, who left three home runs and one stolen base with 40 home runs and 40 steals in his first season in Korea, plans to start in the leadoff position in all the remaining games starting from the game on the 19th.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho met with reporters before the game on the 19th and said, "Kim Do-young plans to continue to start the leadoff by alternating between third baseman and designated hitter. If it doesn't work (40 home runs to 40 steals), it can't be helped, but if it's possible, we should give him enough opportunity. Rather than batting third, the first hitter can enter the batter's box at least once, and the fans want to see Kim Do-young more, so I decided this."
As Kim has confirmed his team's regular season title, Kim has created an environment in which he can focus more on achieving 40 homers and 40 steals for this season. Kim made Jamsil Stadium excited from his first at-bat in the top of the first inning of the game on Wednesday.
In the top of the first inning, Kim hit opposing starting pitcher Choi Seung-yong's second slider at 128 kilometers per hour, hitting a triple that hit the center fence. He failed to hit a home run by a slight margin, drawing cheers from spectators at Jamsil Stadium.
With Park's walk and no outs on the second and third bases stolen, Kim scored the first run when Kim hit a grounder to the second base. With the score, Kim reached the 135th point mark for this season. It was the moment that Seo Geon-chang (then Nexen Heroes) had tied the most points scored in a single season in the KBO League in 2014.
Kim raised expectations for his remaining at-bats as he tied the most runs scored in a single season in the KBO League. However, Kim swallowed the disappointment by leaving both his second at-bat in the top of the third inning and his third at-bat in the top of the fifth inning due to fly balls to center field.
Kim, who got on base with a walk with two outs and a runner on the first base in the top of the seventh inning, failed to set a new scoring record due to a failed follow-up hitter. In his last at-bat with two outs and runners on the first and second bases in the top of the ninth inning, Kim stayed in the right field fly ball after a full count match.
Rather, Kim left a more regrettable scene in defense. In the bottom of the third inning, Kim hesitated with first baseman Byun Woo-hyuk over Lee Yoo-chan's high infield fly ball at the risk of two outs and runners on the first and third bases, before recording a catch error. The error resulted in a runner on the third base scoring.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Kim allowed runners on the second base to score runs due to a catch error that missed Heo Kyung-min's grounder even with runners on the second base with no outs. The two errors also led to additional points by the opponent team. Kim added two more errors on the day, and reached the 30th impossible point in this season. A rare record of 30 homers-30 steals-30 mistakes in this season was created.
Of course, the scene was made after the team won the title during the regular season, so there is no need to put too much emphasis on it. Rather, he needs to have a positive mindset that he got vaccinated prior to the Korean Series. During the regular season, Kim will focus only on 40 homers and 40 steals for the season. Kim plans to start the leadoff game by moving between the third baseman and the designated hitter position during the remaining games. We wonder whether Kim will be able to achieve 40 homers and 40 steals for the season, resulting in a stellar finale.
