Scored in 12 consecutive games, tied for 2nd place in club history and tied for 4th place overall in KBO
Kim Do-young appeared as the lead hitter in the top of the 5th inning with the team leading 3-0 in a visiting professional baseball game against the Kiwoom Heroes held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 25th. He targeted Kim Seon-gi’s first pitch, a 143 km/h fastball, and hit a solo arch that went over the center fence. I drew it.
This is Kim Do-young’s 10th home run of the season.
Kim Do-young, who could not hit a single home run in March, hit 10 home runs in 21 games in April.
He has already stolen 11 bases.
10 home runs and 10 stolen bases per month is a record that even Eric Thames (NC Dinos at the time) in 2015, who had 40 home runs and 40 RBIs, could not achieve.
The player who came close to this record before Kim Do-young was Son A-seop (currently NC), who played in the Lotte Giants uniform in August 2017. At that time, Son A-seop recorded 9 home runs and 10 stolen bases.
However, due to injuries, he only hit 3 home runs in 2022 and 7 home runs in 2023.
This year, before April was over, he hit 10 home runs.
Utilizing his unique ability, he succeeded in stealing 11 bases.
Before the game, Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki warned, “Kim Do-young’s momentum is so hot that he’s on the verge of burning.”
Kim Do-young’s fiery bat exploded again on this day, leaving his first record in the KBO League.
Kim Do-young continued his scoring record for 12 consecutive games, tying for second in Tigers history.
In 2014, Kim Joo-chan scored in 14 consecutive games, and Kim Sun-bin had a 12-game scoring streak like Kim Do-young in September 2018.
Kim Do-young’s 12-game scoring streak is tied for 4th place in the entire KBO League.
Lee Dae-ho’s 16-game scoring streak with Lotte in 2010 remains the longest record in the KBO League.
Park Hyun-seung (then of Lotte) in 2007 and Kim Joo-chan in 2014 tied for second place by scoring in 14 consecutive games.
If Kim Do-young continues his scoring streak in the next two games, he will set a club record and move up to tied for second place in the entire KBO.
