Kim Do-young won 60.73% of the vote in the vote that ended on July 1, beating the second-place Samsung Lions' Won Tae-in.
Kim Do-young graduated from Gwangju Dongseong High School and made her professional debut with the first nomination of the Kia Tigers in 2022.
Kim Do-young, who spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons adapting to the KBO League, dominated the KBO League last season with explosive potential.
He had his best year, achieving various new records, including the youngest MVP in the league, the first monthly 10 home runs and 10 steals in the league, and the youngest and lowest 30-30 clubs.
Unfortunately, he did not achieve 40-40 for the first time as a Korean player, but he made a great impact on KBO League fans.
Kim Do-young's baseball sense and animal athletic ability were literally evaluated as all-time.
The final performance of the 2024 season ended the MVP season with a batting average of 0.347 homers, 38 stolen bases, 40 RBIs, and 143 runs. Since the season, he has also played for the national team, raising expectations for overseas expansion.
However, this season, he was absent for a long time due to two hamstring injuries, and was forced to watch his team, the Kia Tigers, fall in the rankings. The Kia Tigers' final ranking this season ended in eighth place, confirming Kim Do-young's presence.
Fans who hope to return to a healthy body next season are highly anticipated as Kim Do-young, who is worthy of the modifier 'Superstar' with outstanding performance as long as he plays in the game.
Meanwhile, 「Blue Dragon Ranking」 will be hosted by Sports Chosun and Celeb Champion, the organizers of the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Blue Dragon Series Awards. This month's baseball player vote will be held monthly for 20 players selected based on individual performance and team contribution from the KBO League, and semi-annual winners will be selected every six months.
