a reasonable compliment from a veteran who has been through the prenatal battle
Choi Hyung-woo (42), the eldest brother of the KIA Tigers, said this about his distant junior Kim Do-young (21).
He is a "living legend" who has experienced everything before his death. He has won the Korean Series title ring five times and also garnered six Golden Gloves. He has broken the KBO league record with 1,542 RBIs and a double (490). The achievements have been made after overcoming a long period of obscurity since his professional debut. As a "living witness" of his hard work, he is a strong supporter and mentor of his juniors. He is one that all players want to resemble.
When asked if he was giving advice to Kim, Choi waved his hands. "(Lee) Woosung gives advice once in a while, but (Kim) Do-young is a bit higher than me. I am not supposed to touch him," Choi said with a big smile.
Kim Do-young is a born star. Since joining the KIA team as its first designation after graduating from high school, he has been wearing splendid modifiers such as "Lee Jong-beom's Second Coming" and "5 Tool Player." Although his debut was sluggish in the first year, he overcame an injury gap of more than two months last year, his second year, to join the first team and achieve his first career .300-100 hit season. This year, in his third year, he broke last year's record in about a month after the opening of the league, approaching his first career double-digit home run.
However, Choi Hyung-woo's praise for Kim Do-young was not only because of this "look."
He cited the home run that Kim Do-young has been producing this season as an example. "When a home run hits a point, of course, it goes over," Choi said. "(Kim) Do-young) hits about two balls behind (other hitters' home run heating points), but he pulls the ball over, not by pushing it over." "Even if he gets hit from behind, he has superior strength, quickness, and turn, and (homer) is what makes no sense," he said. "He is an incredible player. He is a player with incredible physical skills."
"I have a good batting performance lately and I can see the ball well at bat. I am focusing on setting my own batting zone and timing rather than aiming for the opponent team's pitching," Kim said. "I am focusing on producing balls that float with the coach during batting practice. I am swinging with my lower body first, using less right hand."
This year marks the third year since her debut. Kim Do-young is proving that her performance last year was no accident and why she was given the modifier that followed her in the first year of her debut. Everyone is happy to see the "genius batter" who is growing day by day.
