Gwangju — In the opening game of the KBO postseason best-of-five first round, Kia Tigers' third baseman Kim Do-yeong proved to be a true superstar, as he lived up to his superstar billing with two home runs and four driven-in runs, securing a 5-1 victory for his team against the LG Twins. As both teams' hyped key players, Twins manager Youm Kyoung-youb aimed to keep Kim in check, while Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho had no concerns about his star player, trusting him to perform as expected.
At the age of 23, Kim was the 2024 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) regular-season MVP, and his performance did not disappoint, as he delivered a powerful solo homer in the bottom of the fourth inning, driving the ball 124 meters into the left-field stands.
