“I think it’s one of those days, one of those fateful days.” “Such a day,” Kim said to himself. It was indeed a fateful record.

Kim set a new record in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League against the NC Dinos at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on March 23. The first-ever minimum-at-bat natural hit-for-the-cycle came off the bat of Do-young Kim, and it came in just four at-bats. Kim hit an infield single in the first inning, a double to right-center in the third inning, a triple to left-center in the fifth inning, and a two-run home run to left-center in the sixth inning in KIA’s 8-1 victory. It was a natural hit-for-the-cycle, with a single, double, triple, and home run in four at-bats.

The hit-for-the-cycle is the 31st in KBO history and the third in KIA history, joining Kim Joo-chan (April 15, 2016) and Roger Bernadina (August 3, 2017). He also set a new record for natural hit-for-the-cycle with the fewest at-bats. The natural hit-for-the-cycle was previously held by Kim Eung-guk of Lotte on April 14, 1996 (vs. Hanwha Eagles), and Kim became only the second player to do so. Instead, Kim became the first player to record a natural hit-for-the-cycle in just four at-bats.

Kim’s triple in the fifth inning was a testament to her overwhelming athleticism and the defining moment of the record. Kim hit a line drive to left-center field off Castano, then stole second base and ran straight to third. It was a bold move that the NC broadcasters didn’t expect. He was confident in his quick feet.

The home run came in the bottom of the sixth inning on a 2-2 count with one out. Kim saw a five-pitch slider from Bae Jae-hwan coming in high and didn’t miss it, sending it over the left-field fence. With Kia’s 8-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim’s face appeared on the big screen, sending the Kia fans into another frenzy. It was his 25th home run to 토토사이트 순위 complete the Hit for the Cycle and move him into sole possession of second place behind NC’s Matt Davidson (28 home runs).

After the game, Kim met with the media after receiving a ‘drink baptism’ prepared by his KIA teammates, including Choi Won-joon and Park Chan-ho. “I think today was just such a day. It was a fateful day,” he said, bringing a smile to his face. He was referring directly to the meme of Kim Do-young’s feet that became a hot topic last year.

As Kim said, the record seemed fated. In fact, she could have hit a triple instead of a double in the third inning. “I think I felt so good after my third at-bat that I felt like I could do it (the hit-for-the-cycle) once today,” Kim said. ”I could have gone to third base in the at-bat before that (the third inning), and I should have gone, but I didn’t. I didn’t score there, so I kept it in the back of my mind. I kept thinking that if I had gone to third base, I would have scored. In my next at-bat, I just sprinted to third base from the start,” he explained.

The disappointment of not being able to run to third base on a line drive to right-center in the third inning led to a rare triple to left-center in the fifth inning, which set a new record for the shortest natural hit-for-the-cycle. When asked, “Wasn’t that mistake the reason for this record?” Kim said, “Yes, I think it was. I think today was one of those days,” Kim laughed.

Except for her tenth home run in May of this year, Kim said she never went into the batter’s box with the intention of hitting a home run. “I didn’t aim for it,” he said, ‘I just thought about the zone I was going to hit, and I kept chanting, ’Just react to that zone,’ and it worked out well.
