Kim Do-young started as third baseman and third hitter in a home game against the Doosan Bears at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 31st.
Choi Won-joon got on base with an infield hit after one out in the bottom of the first inning when he was losing 0-1. Kim Do-young's ball then went straight to the shortstop, Choi Won-joon was out on the second base, and Kim Do-young was safe on the first base.
Kim Do-young ran to second base as soon as the third pitch was thrown in 1B1S. Catcher Kim Ki-yeon blocked the ball as Doosan starter Shirakawa Keisho fell low, and it was too much to throw the ball to second base. In the end, Kim Do-young landed on second base. He stole for the 30th time this season.
Kim has 28 home runs this season. If you add two more, you can record 30 home runs and 30 steals as the youngest player ever.
Kim Do-young was replaced after playing only three at-bats the previous day. He was replaced by Seo Geon-chang at the start of the seventh inning after digesting until the end of the sixth inning.
