“I thought I was in a car accident”.
KIA Tigers genius batter Kim Do-young (20) recalled the dizzying collision with Hanwha Eagles foreign hitter Peraza and said he thought there was a car accident.
At the 2024 professional baseball game against the Kiwoom Heroes held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on Sunday, Kim scored two hits, two RBIs and one run from four times at bat, to lead the team to a 5-2 come-from-behind victory. A triple that she hit in the eighth inning was the finishing hit that led to the upset.
He had 30 homers, 30 steals, 100 RBIs and 100 runs scored in this season. He became the third player to set records after Park Jae-hong of Hyundai in 2000 and Eric Thames of NC Dinosaurs in 2015. He was the youngest ever to set such records. For the time being, he is hardly easy to break the record. 스포츠토토
Kim Do-young recently became the hero of a dizzying scene. She was hit in the left elbow by LG Hernandez’s dune in the match against LG Electronics in Gwangju on March 3 and underwent a thorough examination at a hospital. In the match against Hanwha in Gwangju on May 5, she had a head-on collision with second baseman Peraza while handling a hit in the eighth inning.
He pounded his head against the grass for a while. He stirred concern as he couldn’t stand up for a while, but he shook his body and woke up. However, due to aftereffects, he got together everywhere including his neck. He missed the game against Kiwoom on Sunday.
He added his name to the starting lineup one day later after receiving intensive treatment from his trainer. He still had pain and dizziness, but he held the bat for his personal record and team win. He also recorded two significant RBIs on the day, reducing the team’s magic number to six.
After the game, Kim Do-young said, “I had a lot of thoughts to go out during the day off. Even if the pain remains, I ran thinking that if I run, it will get better. Now I finished the game well without any pain.”
He also thanked her for her concern. “(After the collision), she kept asking if she was okay. I didn’t think she meant it because she was so worried. She sent me a DM the next morning. Thank you.”
On the collision, he said, “I thought there was a car accident. I have never experienced such a shock. I have never experienced such a situation. I became conscious when I was running second today as a runner.” As such, the afterimage of the collision still lingers.
