At this point, Incheon is my second hometown.
KIA starting third baseman Kim Do-young (20) is a Gwangju native who graduated from Gwangju Daeseong Elementary School, Dongseong Middle School, and Dongseong High School. However, one surprising fact was discovered. Whenever he comes to Incheon, he hits and runs even more aggressively. On the 1st, against Incheon SSG, he also had a blast with 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 RBI, 1 stolen base, and 3 runs.토토사이트
Kim Do-young is bound to have special memories of Incheon. His first hit after debuting in the 2022 season came against Incheon SSG on April 9. Even the pitcher was Kim Gwang-hyun, who had just returned from the major league. Kim Do-young was silent for 5 consecutive games at the opening, but then met Kim Gwang-hyun and hit 2 hits, even recording his first multi-hit in his debut.
Kim Do-young played in 5 games in Incheon in the 2022 season. He went 5-for-16 with 2 home runs, 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored. After Busan, which recorded a batting average of 0.357 in 6 games, the stadium with the best performance was Incheon SSG Landers Field. In fact, 2022 was a harsh first season as a backup infielder. In Gwangju, his batting average was 0.229 in 56 games. However, when I came to Incheon Bay, I was truly healed.
This season got off to a bad start. KIA played its opening two-game series against SSG in Incheon on April 1-2. Kim Do-young, who has already changed significantly from last year, warmed up with 1 hit in 5 at-bats in the opening game. And in his second game, he went 3-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored.
However, the first goal that day was a score of fighting spirit. This is because he suffered a metatarsal fracture during the rush home and was on the operating table, missing about three months. So this year, Incheon seemed to be a heartbreaking city for Kim Do-young, but after his return, it became the ‘promised land’ again.
The game was on July 5th. On this day, Doyoung Kim hit his first consecutive home run in his career. It was also the day when the complete batting lineup debuted with the addition of Kim Tae-gun. It was also his second four-hit game this season. Afterwards, he added 3 hits in the game on the 1st.
Kim Do-young has 13 hits in 22 at-bats, 2 home runs, 5 RBIs, 8 runs, and 3 stolen bases in 5 games in Incheon this season. In 10 total games, he had 18 hits in 38 at-bats, a batting average of 0.474, 4 home runs, 7 RBIs, 11 runs, and 3 stolen bases. Even though he has accumulated quite a few samples, he shows off his crazy batting skills that are close to 50%.
SSG Landers Field is a hitter-friendly stadium. However, it is interesting to note that Kim Do-young has been playing well at Incheon Bay since last year. Actually, there may be no particular reason. This is because I always try to play as well in other stadiums as I do in Incheon.
For reference, this season, Kim Do-young is next to Incheon with a batting average of 0.429 in Pohang (3 games, 2 RBIs, 6 runs), a batting average in Busan of 0.364 (3 games, 3 RBIs, 2 runs), a batting average in Changwon of 0.273 (3 games, 1 RBI, 2 runs), and a batting average in Gwangju. They recorded a batting average of 0.261 (21 games, 10 RBI, 19 runs, 9 stolen bases), Suwon’s batting average of 0.250 (5 games, 2 RBIs, 3 runs, 2 stolen bases), Jamsil’s batting average of 0.214 (3 games), and Daegu’s batting average of 0.167 (1 run).
Following the 2nd and 3rd, KIA will also have away games against SSG in Incheon on September 30th and October 1st. There are 4 games left.
