KIA infielder Kim Do-young (21) will be named MVP. Kim set various records this season, making a big contribution to surpassing 9 million spectators in the KBO League.
In April, Kim Do-young, who recorded 10 home runs and 10 steals per month for the first time in the KBO League, drove the momentum and became the fifth player ever to set this record before the first half ended with 20 home runs and 20 steals on June 23.
He hit the peak when he hit 30 home runs and 30 steals, which he set on Saturday. Kim, who had hit 29 home runs and 34 steals before the game, hit his 30th home run of this season in front of the packed audience, becoming the youngest (20 years, 11 months and 13 days) and the smallest game (111 games).
On the 28th, he hit 33 home runs, breaking the youngest and most home runs in a single season set by Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop when he was a Samsung manager in 1997. Kim Do-young is only 20 years, 10 months, and 26 days old.
If Kim is honored as MVP this season, a third-year high school graduate will be awarded the MVP award for the first time in 27 years since Lee Seung-yeop (current coach of Samsung and Doosan Bears) in 1997. As such, it is rare for a third-year MVP to be awarded.
It seems that the winner of the Rookie of the Year award has already been decided. It is Kim Taek-yeon, 19, who finishes the Doosan Bears.
Kim Taek-yeon added a save against Changwon NC on the 27th, making her 17th save of the season and breaking the record for the most saves by a high school graduate. This is the first record in 18 years to break the 16 saves made by Na Seung-hyun (Lotte), a high school graduate rookie at the time, in 2006.
Kim Taek-yeon, who reported her first professional save against Jamsil SSG Landers on May 21, has been playing as a closing pitcher since June and quickly accumulated saves.
He also set a meaningful record. Kim made a save at the age of 19 years, 1 month, and 20 days at the match against Kiwoom in Jamsil on April 23, and quickly broke the record of youngest double-digit saves (19 years, 2 months and 10 days) set by Na in 2006. He is also the seventh rookie pitcher to have double-digit saves.
It is rare for two players, who are only on the 弱冠, to perform at the top of the league table, to sweep various records in the league. As such, the future of KBO and Korean baseball is also bright. The Korean national baseball team, which is currently undergoing a generational change centering on the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, is also expected to have a generational change of pitching and hitting around the two players.
