Kim Do-young is in front of me because neither Lee Jong-beom nor Thames did well

It was an amazing home run. There were many powerful big guns like Park Byung-ho and Yasiel Puig who used Gocheok Dome as their home ground, but I hardly remember hitting a home run on the top of an electronic display board. It was even more surprising that it came from Kim Do-young's hands, not from a typical big gun style. "I definitely felt that I hit it well," Kim said after the game, but it was impossible if there was nothing special about Kim's batting. 사설토토

Kim hit a whopping nine home runs in April alone. In the history of the Tigers franchise, Tracy Sanders was the only player in 1999 to hit nine home runs in a month. If Kim hits one more home run in the remaining schedule of April, he can break this record. He is also tying for second after Han Yu-seom with 10 home runs in the league. Then, what made this monster home run.

Kim calmly explains the process. First of all, it's a batting form. Even while undergoing rehabilitation for fractured fingers ahead of this season, Kim slightly touched his batting form. To be more specific, he changed his standing posture. Originally, Kim's stance is not that broad. However, the wider he got, the better he hit, and his legs unconsciously widened. As a result, he had side effects such as bending his upper body, it was physically difficult, and he had problems such as ups and downs depending on the width of his stance. Even if it was a form that fits well, it was difficult to maintain it throughout the year.

So Kim adjusted her stance to create a more comfortable form. Kim says the effect is certain. "I was standing comfortably, but the moment I hit the ball, I gathered my strength at once," Kim said. "Last year, I felt like I was losing strength during games once I hit it, but now I don't. It can be a decisive driving force for me to keep going forward throughout April without any ups and downs.

He changed his form to the zone. Kim is a batter who tries to see the zone a little wider and actively play the game. He has similar styles this year, but there are differences. He tried to set his zone according to various circumstances, including the introduction of the ABS system. It didn't go well at the beginning of the season, but now he has his zone to some extent. "More than anything, I have my zone. That's why I've become more comfortable in baseball," Kim said. "I think it's really important to hit the ball that came into the zone as strongly as possible." If you put the point in front of you, you can get more swings and misses, but that's not the case either. The ratio of swings and misses is similar to last year's. Kim also said, "I didn't see as many swings and misses as I thought."

He didn't intentionally increase the launch angle. He is unconscious. Then, naturally, the ball started to float. Kim's batting speed was nothing new. Originally, he used to hit balls over 170 kilometers per hour. However, there were quite a few cases where he violently rushed only to the front of the fence with a launch angle of 15 to 20 degrees, but this year, the number of home runs surged compared to that of flying balls. The launch angle of the home run on Sunday also exceeded 30 degrees. The speed of the home run is already fast, but since the launch angle has been increased, it goes further. "I didn't intentionally increase the launch angle, but I have a feeling that the ball that didn't pass last year is going to pass this year," Kim said.

What's scarier is that this monster is more than just a player who hits home runs well. He also has fast feet among the best in the league. He has already stolen 10 bases. Experts say that he is competing for the best in the league in terms of physical speed. As a result, he is close to achieving the milestone. He is achieving 10 home runs and 10 steals at the same time in a certain month. He has already stolen bases, and he only needs to hit one more home run.

This is a great achievement that no other player in the KBO League has achieved. Coach Lee Jong-beom, who is synonymous with hot-hitting teams, has also never recorded 10 homers and 10 steals per month at the same time. The same was true of Eric Thames, who joined the 40-40 club in the KBO league history. Thames recorded nine homers and five steals in April, nine homers and eight steals in May, four homers and five steals in June, eight homers and six steals in June, eight homers and six steals in July, eight homers and eight steals in August, and eight steals in September. He did not even get to Thames at 10-10. Perhaps we will have the luck to see the milestone that has yet to come out again.
