He is in a critical condition. Kim Do-young, who is the core of the KIA lineup, the defending champion, who is aiming to win the Korean Series for two consecutive years in the KBO League, is out due to thigh pain in the opening game. As the result of the checkup will be shown to be left with hamstring injury, he will be forced to sit out early in the season. Kia has faced a huge negative situation.카지노사이트
At the opening home game of the 2025 KBO League held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on Sunday, Kim had a hit to the left at the second batter's box at the third inning with one out before getting on base. However, Kim complained of pain in his left thigh during the process of returning to the base after running around the first base. Kia's trainer came out to check Kim's condition, and he was replaced by Yoon when he faced off after deciding that he could no longer play.
Kim immediately moved to a nearby hospital and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, which confirmed that her left hamstring was damaged. "We will have to undergo a second round of examination to confirm the specific extent of her injury," an official at Kia said. "The recovery and rehabilitation period will be known only after a second round of examination." Kim will undergo a second round of thorough examination on Monday.
Kim Do-young is a superstar who was selected as the MVP of the regular league by becoming the youngest player to do 30 home runs and 30 steals last season. In April of last season, he became the first player in history to record 10-10 per month with 10 home runs and 14 steals. He became the fifth player in history to achieve 20-20 in the first half, and also made the first minimum at-bats-natural cycling hit in history. Kim Do-young, who made 30 home runs and 30 steals in 111 games, the smallest game in history, has drawn attention to whether he will achieve the second 40 home runs and 40 steals in history since Eric Thames (then NC), in 2015, but he finished the season with 38 home runs and 40 steals.
Kim's report card for last season was too impressive. He had a batting average of 0.347 (third), 189 hits (third), 38 homers (second), 109 RBIs and 136 runs (record of all time), an on-base percentage of 0.420 (third), a slugging percentage of 0.647 (first place), and an OPS of 1.067 (first place). As a rising superstar in his third year as a pro, Kim jumped from 100 million won to 500 million won at once, surpassing Lee Jung-hoo's fourth year salary of 390 million won.
As Kim Do-young is inevitable for an early long-term absence, much attention has been paid to KIA's move. Without Kim Do-young, he can cruise without a big crisis during the KIA season, where there are several destructive hitters such as Na Sung-bum and Choi Hyung-woo, Patrick Wisdom, a new foreigner, or the entire batting line may sink as he realizes Kim Do-young's absence.
