Ryu Joong-il's challenge, which ended with tears, was clear, but the harvest was also clear.

Kim Do-young (KIA), who wrote a new history in the KBO League, was brilliant. Ryu Joong-il was 'hard carry' with a batting average of 412 and three home runs and 10 RBIs in five group games in the 2024 WBSC Premier 12. Despite the difficulties of the international competition to face unfamiliar pitchers' balls, Kim Do-young proved that his talent is real by connecting five of the seven hits with long balls (two doubles and three home runs).

Kim Do-young, who returned home via Incheon International Airport on the 19th after the competition, said "As a result, the result was very disappointing. I'm a little disappointed. I think I'll be able to grow a little more with this opportunity."



In this competition, Kim Do-young demonstrated her talents in all aspects, including offense, defense, and baserunning. He served as a troubleshooter in the lineup, and he also solved the defense, which was considered the only weakness, stably. The base running play, which had been obsessed with the KBO League, also shone in the Premier 12. He also experienced a dizzying moment when he was replaced by hip pain in the match against the Dominican Republic, but he started a home run again against Australia after taking a day off.

Kim Do-young thinks there was fatigue rather than injury. I'm back in good shape"There were a lot of easy balls. Regarding defense, he said, "I think I still lack a lot, so I'm going to train harder during the offseason."



It was a game without any easy teams. Kim Do-young said "When I looked at the power analysis, I think all the good players came out individually. I played with the honor of playing with those players. "I knew Japan was such a strong team. I felt that Taiwan was stronger than I thought. But I'm confident I'll win if I get back on it."

During the tournament, Kim Do-young constantly tried to raise the team's atmosphere even though she was young. In the match against Cuba, which suffered a loss against Taiwan, he fired a full base and threw a bat. Kim Do-young said "The team itself felt very tight. I think the chemistry was very good. I also got homework to fix. It was a good opportunity"I think I need to supplement my immersion in the at-bats and my concentration that I care more about." he said.

The national team now has to prepare for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC). If Kim Do-young's performance was revealed in Premier 12, he is likely to play the central hitter role in WBC. Kim Do-young said of the WBC, `It is the largest international competition. Even at a young age, I had a lot of thoughts that I wanted to go. If I go, I want to make a good grade and come back." He "I always have the ultimate dream. I think it was an opportunity to find out how much I would communicate (on the world stage). But I thought I still lacked a lot."
