The World Baseball Softball Federation (WBSC), which organizes the 2024 Premier 12 tournament, expressed Kim Do-young's overwhelming performance in the second Group B match between South Korea and Cuba in Taipei, Taiwan, on the 14th.

It was a one-man show. Kim started as the third batter and third baseman of the Korean national baseball team, and hit multiple home runs, and led the Korean national baseball team to an 8-4 victory by posting three hits, two runs and five RBIs from four times at bat.토토사이트

Kim Do-young, who contributed to the KIA Tigers' integrated victory by hitting 0.347 with 38 home runs, 143 points, 109 RBIs and 40 steals in the KBO League this season, achieving the youngest 30-30 (home run-stealing) ever.

In the bottom of the second inning, Kim Do-young hit a grand slam off Cuban ace Livan Moinello. As soon as the ball reached the left fence, the left fielder gave up chasing him.

It was an overwhelming shot that instantly awakened the national team, which was in a slump after being hit by host Taiwan on the 13th.

Kim continued to display stellar performance. He made a double at the bottom of the sixth inning by banking on his fast feet and running sense, and hit a solo home run that sealed the victory in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Kim received a lot of attention from overseas media even before the opening. Praise poured in after the Cuba match. A Taiwanese media outlet once described Kim as "Korea's Shohei Ohtani, 21-year-old supernova."

Kim also had hits, RBIs and stolen bases in the previous match against Taiwan. While some of the KBO league's main hitters were absent due to injury, Kim Do-young played his part in the central lineup, sparking hopes for the national team to advance to the Super Round.

In addition, Kim has made impressions in defense by stably catching a flying ball heading to third base in the game against Cuba. He is displaying flawless performance. The next opponent will be Japan, a strong team, who will meet at the Taipei Dome in Taiwan on Tuesday.
