Nothing unusual happened. The "best star" of this season's KBO League was infielder Kim Do-young (21) of the Kia Tigers.온라인바카라
At the 2024 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) Awards held at Lotte Hotel World in southern Seoul on Sunday, Kim garnered 95 votes (94.06 percent of the vote) out of 101 votes cast by reporters, and was named MVP of the regular season. He is the 10th Tigers player in seven years since pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong in 2017 and the 10th in history. He has lifted the MVP trophy for the first time in 15 years since Kim Sang-hyun in 2009. KIA (including Jeon Ha-tae, the second-ranked Samsung Lions) is the first team to have produced double-digit MVP in the league.
Kim Do-young hit 0.347 (189 hits in 544 at-bats) with 38 homers, 143 runs and 109 RBIs this season. He ranks first in the league with 1.067 OPS, which combines on-base percentage (0.420) and slugging percentage (0.647). He has achieved 40 (success rate of 90.9%) until stealing, building the third "batting rate of 0.300-30 home runs-30 steals-100 points-100 RBIs" in the league's history. In addition, starting with achieving the first monthly 10 home runs-10 steals in April, he has achieved 20-20 clubs in the first half of the league, the youngest and youngest game 30-30 clubs in history, the youngest preoccupation/minimum game 100 points in history, the second natural cycling hit (record of hitting home runs one after another), and the new single-season scoring record (135 points in the past).
At the end of this season, he challenged himself to become the second 40-40 club in nine years since Erik Thames (then of the NC Dinos) in 2015. Due to lack of two homers, he postponed his milestone to a next opportunity, but he is poised to become the MVP thanks to his "unprecedented impact." Kim Do-young, who led Kia to an overall championship, also displayed tremendous presence in international competitions. At the World Baseball Softball Confederation Premier 12, he hit .412 (7 hits in 17 times at bat) with three home runs, 10 RBIs and one-man show, impressing MLB scouts. He could not stop Kim, who excelled in individual performance, team performance and national team performance.
"I feel all the more honored to receive this big award as MVP at such a big award ceremony," Kim said. "I will exercise with humility so that I can contribute to my team. I will always work hard to be an exclamation point."
He then likened it to "the day when you want to run forward in the rain, even though you have an umbrella in your hand," which was a hot topic on personal social media in the past, and said, "I think there were many days when I joined the team full of negative thoughts without seeing the future. I remember someone saying, 'Trust me' at that time. Someone said they would get comfort from seeing you later, but I hope you get a little comfort from seeing me now. Thank you to the fans."
"I think 20 points were cut in defense," said Kim, who rated this season as 80 out of 100. "I want to lead Korean baseball to develop. I will always be humble."
