“Doyoung and Dongju do well, and we (KIA) win~” The
historic first round of the MoonKim Daejeon is held. On the 6th, the last game of the weekend 3 series between KIA and Hanwha will be held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju. It is the first professional first match between Moon Dong-ju (Hanwha) and Kim Do-young (KIA), who have been in their second year together. It is also noteworthy that the first confrontation between super-stars from Gwangju will be held in Gwangju.
Kim Do-young스포츠토토 shows the reason for KIA’s choice. Last year, I had difficulty adapting to the first team, and this year I took a break for three months due to a metatarsal injury. Even a month and a half after his comeback, he proved to be the best in athletics and skill among infielders of his age. He is a beauty in all directions, including his contact, slugging power, main power, and defense. It’s not for nothing that I hear that I’m the second Lee Jong-beom.
Moon Dong-ju is also cruising. He struggled with injuries last year, and has not played full-time yet, so he is receiving special protection from the club. Coach Won-ho Choi expressed his personal opinion that it was necessary to take a medical opinion, but in any case, the season is automatically out when about 120 innings are filled. It is evaluated that he is in his second year of running the game, using a fastball in the late 150km range and using a breaking ball.
The first confrontation that took place after a year and a half of entering the pro due to various reasons such as injury and rotation. Both KIA coach Kim Jong-guk and Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho expressed their expectations. Then, wittily, his arm bent inward. Coach Won-ho Choi said, “It’s a good match for the success of baseball,” ahead of the game on the 4th. Then he laughed and said, “I hope Kim Do-young gets a hit and Dong-joo becomes the winning pitcher. Then, wouldn’t the two of them be in a tie?”
Director Kim Jong-guk is, of course, ‘same as the same dream’. He said, “It’s very interesting” ahead of the game on the 5th. He also laughed and said, “Dong-joo and Do-young are doing well, and the result is that we win.” It would be nice for both of them to do well, but it would be better if Moon Dong-ju did not become a winning pitcher as coach Choi Won-ho intended.
How will the result come out? Recently, Doyoung Kim has a very good batting pace. In the game on the 5th, for the first time since his debut, he went out to bat 3 times and hit the right time. Choi Hyung-woo and Socrates Brito are expected to return to the second batter in the game on the 6th, when they will return to the lineup. The interest is in how Kim Do-young, who shows off his unique athletic ability, will respond to Mun Dong-ju’s unique mid-150km fastball.
On the contrary, for Moon Dong-ju, blocking the triple setter leading to No. 9 Park Chan-ho ~ No. 1 Choi Won-jun ~ No. 2 Kim Do-young is the biggest homework for the KIA game. Although the limit of 120 innings (93 innings until the match against Doosan in Daejeon on the 1st) is getting closer, there is a high possibility that the game will proceed as soon as the Hanhwa is released if Moon Dong-joo needs a lot of innings.
Director Kim Jong-guk told me the correct answer. He said, “The conscious side loses. You shouldn’t be conscious of the head-to-head match.” Kim Do-young, whom I met briefly after the game on the 5th, said, “I don’t care too much. Recently, I haven’t been in contact with Dong-ju because we’ve been doing our own things.”
