21-year-old Kim Do-young (KIA) said something like 'Baseball Dosa' When someone falls into a slump, people often diagnose with 'form'. Form is considered quite important in sport regardless of the sport. However, Kim Do-young, who has established himself as the best player this season, gave a wise answer that `form is only supporting.'
Kim Do-young completed the perfect 2024 season by winning the third baseman Golden Glove at the '2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Golden Glove Awards' on the 13th. After leading KIA to the championship by recording a career high, he swept the regular season MVP and the Golden Glove. In his third year as a professional, he achieved all the feats that most players could dream of in their lifetime.
There seems to be nowhere else to go up, but Kim Do-young is still hungry. Kim Do-young said, `I've played a lot now, so I'm thinking of working out right after the Golden Glove Awards. Overall, I plan to build a little more muscles,' he said.
Kim Do-young emphasized that steady training is more important than special skills or swing methods. Kim Do-young said "What I felt a lot this year is that the batting form is not very meaningful. I'm going to take more details on what I liked about this year and training methods." The training routine should then be established. That's the most important thing. When I entered the game, I felt that what kind of thoughts and minds I should have at bat were more important (than hitting form). The batting form is always going to be the same."
Kim Do-young appeared in 141 games this year and recorded a batting average of 347, 38 homers, 109 RBIs, and 40 steals (OPS) of 1.067. He ranked third in batting average, second in home runs, seventh in RBIs and first in OPS. 골든글러브에서 280표

Kim Do-young will be a person who can bear the weight of the trophy without complaining. I want to thank the fans of Korean baseball, and I hope that the cold winter goes away and I can have a warm end of the year", he expressed his feelings.
Kim Do-young said "Something is relieved. I was so happy to go to many award ceremonies this year. I wonder if these moments will come again. I hope this isn't a career high season. I'll work hard on it" he said.
Kim Do-young humbly self-evaluated that there were many things to supplement.
Kim Do-young said, `This year, I scored about 80 points. There is still much to be desired. There will be no 100 points in the future. There are many things to compensate for the damage. I don't think next year will be like this year. I just hope it's similar to this year. There will definitely be a season that does better than this year. I'm going to train with that belief. I want to go to many award ceremonies like this while continuing the season without getting any injuries"I hoped.
Kim Do-young, who has finished all awards ceremonies, is now switching to training mode.
Kim Do-young said, "I'll be happy until today. I will go back to my daily routine and train for next year. I will prepare well to grow more than this year"I'm determined.
