Shim Jae-hak, the general manager of the KIA Tigers, may not be joking. When Kim Do-yeong (21) said in a recent telephone conversation that he played an active role in the Premier 12, he came back. "I am still worried," Kim said, even though he mentioned that he has to play for Kia until 2028.먹튀검증

Kim Do-young is really good for international use. She had a batting average of 0.412, three homers, 10 RBIs, four runs and one stolen base, which she recorded in five opening rounds of the Premier 12 with a seven-hitter. She completely shook off her disappointment at the Asian Professional Baseball Championship last year, when she made her debut in an international competition. At the time, she had a three-hitter of 15 at-bats for a batting average of 0.200, one RBI, four runs and two walks.

Crucially, Kim Do-young hit an infield grounder and headfirst slide to first base in the final against Japan on Nov. 19, 2023, and was seriously injured in a ruptured medial ligament and scapular fracture in her left thumb. Since then, she has been ordered not to headfirst slide to first base.

This year, Kim had a spectacular season. She will win the MVP award at the regular season award ceremony to be held on Wednesday. The key is whether she will be unanimous or not. She also had a year without any injuries. Her pelvis pain in the Premier 12 was not just an injury but fatigue.

There are no injuries or benefits, but bonuses remain. This Premier 12 finished the Super Round until the 23rd. However, Kim Do-young, who did not even play the Super Round, is still listed in the individual batting category.

Kim's three home runs and 10 RBIs are tied for second in homers and third in RBIs even at the end of the Super Round. At the end of the opening round, Kim was the lone runner-up in homers and tied for second in RBIs. Even after the Super Round ended, none of the Japanese, Taiwanese, American or Venezuelan hitters clearly exceeded Kim's homeruns and RBIs. Ryan Ward of the U.S. only led Kim with 11 RBIs, and Carlos Perez of Venezuela only matched Kim with three homers.

One of the stars of this competition is Kim Do-young. She has completely proved that it is for international use. The next international competition is the 2026 World Baseball Classic and Nagoya-Aichi Asian Games. The WBC is meaningful in that it is the highest-level international competition, and the Asian Games are an opportunity for Kim to receive military service benefits.
