"I was surprised to see it go over."

Kiwoom Heroes manager Hong Won-ki is the opposing team's player, but he gave high praise to KIA Tigers' Kim Do-young, who is having an MVP-class season.

Kiwoom won 6-5 thanks to Song Sung-moon's walk-off hit in the ninth inning against the KIA Tigers at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 27th. However, he had no choice but to solve the game with difficulty by allowing Kim Do-young to make a come-from-behind two-run shot in the fourth inning when he was leading 1-0. Starting Hurado was pitching like an ace, and it was Kim Do-young's home run that shook him.



Furado's 145km two-seam fastball. It wasn't a real throw. However, Kim Do-young hit well, and the ball crossed the center fence of Gocheok Sky Dome. It was a scene that showed tremendous strength. 28th of the season. He has hit home runs in three consecutive games and four home runs in the last five games.

Ahead of the match against KIA on the 28th, Hong explained that it was not a real pitch, saying, `After Furado hit a home run, he made an expression of 'This goes over'.' He added that it seems clear that Kim Do-young is amazing in terms of hitting.



Coach Hong said, `I actually thought I'd be caught. But I was surprised to see it go over. I think it's a home run for 3 consecutive games in Gocheok, but I don't know if it's only good for us," he said with an awkward smile.

Still, Hong is not very envious of Kim Do-young. This is because Captain Song Sung-moon is making a career high season as the same third baseman. In this series, a heartwarming scene was created in which the two of them turned to each other 'Sharout'. Coach Hong said, `Regardless of the age difference, I think the two players' competition in good faith has a good impact on the development of the league. I think Song Sung-moon's approach to his junior Kim Do-young and ask him anything is a very high-level action. He said, "I'm so greedy and passionate about baseball that I can visit my juniors like that."
