KIA Tigers' Kim Do-young will take on the last challenge for 40 home runs and 40 steals in the final league match.

In the final match against the NC Dinos, which will take place at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on Sunday, Kim will challenge for the last time for 40-40 games. In her third year of this season, Kim has emerged as the best hitter in the league with full capacity.토토사이트

Kim has played in 140 games this season and posted a batting average of 0.348 188 hits, 38 homers, 40 steals, 142 runs and 108 RBIs. He proved himself to be the best among the offense, defense, and baserunning that often assesses fielders. As for defense, he has recorded many errors, but since he has a wide range of defense and is still young, he is considered to have potential for future development.

Kim Do-young, who preempted 40 steals, will be the first Korean player to join the 40-40 club if he achieves multiple home runs in the game. Aric Thames (47 homers and 40 steals), who played for the NC Dinos in 2015, is the only player who recorded 40-40 in the KBO League.

However, it is unclear whether Kim Do-young, who is closer to a "hotajun" than a typical big gun, will be able to hit multiple home runs. Since his first multi-home run against SSG Landers on July 5 last year, Kim Do-young has recorded a total of three multi-home runs this season, including the match against SSG on April 17 and the match against KT Wiz on the 16th of this month.

The NC Dinosaurs, which will face Kim Do-young on the day, announced their starting pitcher Son Joo-hwan, a college graduate. After graduating from Dong-A University, Son entered the professional league by receiving the sixth round (55th overall) of the 2024 Rookie Draft. Son, who took the mound as relief pitcher three times in August, was given the chance to make his debut in the game.
