Kim Do-young is the best KBO League star player this season in name and reality. He won the KBO League MVP with an overwhelming approval rating. He also dominated the 2024 Dong-A Sports Awards, 2024 Cho-A Pharmaceutical Professional Baseball Awards, and the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association's Player of the Year Award.
The Golden Glove is selected by a vote of media officials. Voting began on November 27 and was completed on December 2.
However, the Golden Glove involves not only quantitative indicators but also voters' subjective judgments. The choices can be mixed depending on what abilities voters weigh in on.
Major League teams divide the awards for offense and defense. There are silver sluggers who only see hits and gold gloves who only see defense. KBO's Golden Glove comprehensively considers attack and defense indicators, so the results of the vote are diverse.
If it was 'Silver Slugger', Kim Do-young's unanimity is possible, but the defense could hold back.
In 141 regular season games, Kim Do-young had 38 home runs and 40 steals, a batting average of 0.347 on-base percentage of 0.420, 109 RBIs and 143 runs. He ranks first in slugging percentage, No. 1 in scoring, No. 1 in on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS), No. 2 in homers, No. 3 in batting average, No. 3 in hits, and No. 3 in on-base percentage.
However, he has the largest number of errors among infielders with 30.

Junghoon Lee received 125 votes out of 126 in 1991 during Binggrae. This is an example of the most regrettable loss of unanimity. The denominator is small, so it is 99.2% in proportion.
The highest score ever was Lee Jong-wook from Doosan in 2007. Of the 397 votes, 350 went to Lee Jong-wook. However, this year, the number of votes has decreased compared to the past, making it impossible to surpass 350 votes.
There are seven candidates for third baseman to keep Kim in check. Moon Bo-kyung (LG), Hwang Jae-gyun (KT), Heo Kyung-min (KT), Choi Jung (SSG), Noh Si-hwan (Hanwha), Seo Ho-cheol (NC), and Song Sung-moon (Kium) compete.
Among them, Kim Do-young ranks first in third baseman defensive innings, batting average, scoring, hits, home runs, RBIs, stolen bases, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage. However, he has the lowest defense rate and the most errors. Heo Kyung-min recorded the highest defense rate and the fewest errors.
