In order to find a new backup infielder in the empty spot due to the Gyeongjo vacation, a rookie shortstop was called up and given a chance to play.
Kim Doo-hyun (21), a former high school student from Gong High School and Dongwon University and nominated by the KIA Tigers as the 106th in the 11th round, is the main character.
Prior to the match against the Samsung Lions at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 9th, he switched to a regular player with his first first-team call-up since joining the team and was given the number 12 that Wil Crowe wore.
He also got a chance to start on the first day of the call-up. It's shortstop number nine.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said before the game that `Chan-ho's baby will be born today, so I sent it with a good heart. He explained, "Spending time with my family will help my performance in the future." As for rookie Kim Doo-hyun "I heard Doo-hyun is good at defense in the Futures League. I wanted to use it against Lee Seung-min (Samsung starter) in the Futures League because he had a good opponent. Even if I don't attack, I gave him a high score in defense, so I think I'll have to see how he gets through it, even though I'm nervous about the first team gameIt will be an opportunity to check the competitiveness of the first team. He told me to do it without any pressure, but if I overcome this situation and grow up, I will have another good infielder option as a team, so I encouraged him to play well without any pressure", he explained.

As a batter, he is not a power heater, but he is a player with contact ability enough to hit a batting average in his late 30s to 40s during Dongwon University.
