It is a sensation in itself. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire world is Kim Do-young (21) from across the ocean. The U.S. is also showing interest. There is still a long way to go before going overseas. However, if you continue to do well, you will be able to achieve a “jackpot.”
Kim is dominating the KBO league this season. In his third year as a pro, he has emerged as an icon representing the league. He has already achieved 30-30. He was the youngest ever to achieve this record at the age of 20. He also set a new record of the fewest games played (111 games). He also set a record of being the youngest to score 100 points in a game.
He also has a batting average of well over 30 percent. He reached 0.351 and slightly decreased, but he still stands at 0.340. He also has an on-base hit rate of around 40 percent, and his slugging rate exceeds 60 percent. 3-4-5 is called the symbol of a slugger. It is more than that. The success rate of stealing a base is over 90 percent.
There is nothing he can’t do. If this trend continues, he can score between 30-30 homers, 30-30 steals, 100 RBIs, and 100 runs. While he is at it, he is trying to reach 40-40 points. His crazy performance also made his parent company Kia Motors fall in love with him. He even gave Kim a car as a gift.
He also caught the eye of the big league. “KIA third baseman Kim Do-young is a name that MLB fans should remember. He will also play a key role in the Korean national team,” MLB Network John Morosi wrote on Wednesday.
The 메이저사이트 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 will take place in November. The WBSC also paid attention to Kim Do-young. “He played as Korea’s main shortstop in the 2021 U-23 World Cup. He had six hits in 17 times at bat, a batting average of 0.353, and four RBIs,” he said.
“Kim Do-young, who set the 30-30 milestone, is compared to legendary Korean star Lee Jong-beom. Fans call Kim the ‘son of the wind.’ Lee Jong-beom is known as the ‘son of the wind’ and Lee Jung-hoo as the ‘son of the wind.’
Kim Do-young has already caught the eye of ML scouts. A scout will be located at Gocheok Sky Dome to see Kim Hye-sung, who announced his advance to the big league after the season. He is even watching foreign pitchers who are playing in the KBO League. Of course, he is also watching other players. Kim Do-young cannot help but stand out. Furthermore, if she prevails in the Premier 12, her interest will be even higher.
Kim Do-young cannot go overseas right now. According to KBO league rules, players must play for seven seasons to advance to overseas leagues through posting. It is now in its third year. He has to play for four more years. That is only possible with the permission of the team.
However, the big leagues begin preparing early. Players from all over the world are eligible to be recruited. The same happened to Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants. He observed Lee for years and accumulated information. The same applies to Kim Do-young. Kim Do-young also has plans to play overseas. Potential candidates should be checked in advance.
Kim Do-young can also follow the path of Lee Jung-hoo. Lee entered the big league by “eating” the KBO League. He signed a six-year, 113 million-dollar contract. This is the highest posting ever by an Asian player.
If Lee Jung-hoo is “orthodox,” Kim Do-young is “explosive.” Simply hit, run well. There is also a long shot. If Kim Do-young can continue his current appearance for a few more years, he can pay as much as Lee Jung-hoo or more.
