Kia’s Kim Tae-gun, who had only stolen two bases in his professional career, caught the opposing battery off guard. Kim Tae-gun, who is slow on his feet, managed to steal third base, a feat that even fast runners struggle to accomplish. His slide was a bit clumsy, but he stretched out his left hand to touch the base to avoid the third baseman’s tag.
Game 1 of a doubleheader between the KIA Tigers and the LG Twins at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 9th. Kia’s Kim Tae-gun, who started in the No. 9 spot, came to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning with runners on first and third and a 3-2 lead.
Facing LG sidearm Jung Woo-young, Kim saw two-seam fastballs in the first and second pitches. On the third pitch, a 151-kilometer two-seam fastball up the middle, Tae-gun made a technical hit to drive it in for a run.
After hitting the big hit when his team needed it, Kim celebrated in the third base dugout. After advancing to second on Jung Woo-young’s wild pitch, Kim Tae-goon eagerly stole third.
With two outs and Park Chan-ho on 1B and 1S, Jung Woo-young threw a three-pitch, 151-kilometer two-seam fastball, and Kim Tae-goon took off for third base.
A cheer erupted from the stands as the slow-footed catcher stole third base on the fastball. It was a steal attempt that took advantage of Jung Woo-young’s habit of being slow in quick motion.
Catcher Park Dong-won quickly threw the ball to third baseman Moon Bo-kyung, but Kim Tae-gun’s left hand narrowly missed touching the base first. Kim, who rarely steals bases, was a little sloppy with his slide. He went in feet first and stretched out his left hand to avoid the tag.
