KIA Tigers star Kim Do-young (22) achieved the first 10-10 in April of the 2024 season, the first 20-20 in the first half of the club, the youngest and least-ever game 30-30, the least-at-bats natural cycling hit, the most points scored in a season, and the home run against all teams, respectively.스포츠토토
Then, what is the most meaningful of these big records for Kim? His answer is 3-30-30-100-100. Kim appeared on Cosmopolitan Korea's YouTube channel on Tuesday and talked about many things. He had more pride in his performance than any other record.
Kim Do-young hit a changeup with a ball count of 1B1S to Kiwoom starter Ariel Furado (Samsung Lions) at the bottom of the eighth inning, when the game was 2-2 against the Kiwoom Heroes in Gwangju on Sept. 8, and hit a triple to slowly escape to the outfield after hitting the third base. He hit 100 RBIs of the season by bringing second baseman Socrates Brito home.
With a generous batting average of around 300, he surpassed 30-30, and achieved the highest number of points in a KBO season with an all-time scoring pace. Although his RBI pace was relatively slow, he succeeded easily. He was the third-youngest in his career after Park Jae-hong in 2000 and Eric Thames in 2015.
"I want to achieve this record consistently," Kim Do-young said. "I think it's just a figure that represents everything. I was lucky to have hit the base, so I was very grateful for the base at the time. I wanted to have a clean hit, but I still achieved it and breathed a sigh of relief."
Kim did not have much regret over the 40-40 decision, which she failed to hit two more home runs all the time. She is not a player who is conscious of home runs. However, she clearly has affection for the 3-30-30-100-100. As Kim said, to achieve this milestone, Kim must show everything in baseball. Accurate hitting, long-range hitting, strong hitting and efficient running base are required. Kim showed this in the 2024 season.
No matter how much Kim Do-young is, it is not easy to achieve various brilliant records achieved in the 2024 season for two consecutive years. There are many opinions that the overall performance of the season is natural even if it is slightly lower than last year, and that it is only necessary to maintain the team's contribution while reducing the number of errors.
Notably, 3-30-30-100 is a record that Kia fans have never thought about doing or not doing once in their lifetime. Just 30-30 is not an easy record. Nevertheless, if Kim becomes the first KBO player to do so for two consecutive years this year, Kia and its fans will likely go wild.
