Kim Do-young's departure is more painful than the opening game victory. KIA Tigers faced a major injury from the opening game. We should only hope that the gap will not be prolonged.

KIA Kim Do-young left the opening game due to a hamstring injury. Kim Do-young started as the second batter and third baseman in the opening game of the 2025 season against the NC Dinos at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd and was injured in his second at-bat in the third inning.

KIA led 1-0 in the bottom of the third inning. Kim Do-young, who faced NC starting pitcher Logan Allen, pulled a 142km fastball on the third pitch in the 2S and connected it to a left-handed hit that flowed next to the third baseman. his first hit of the season.




However, Kim Do-young's expression, who was running to first base while hitting and watching the ball, was unusual. As if he felt something wrong with his left thigh in the process of running out, he stepped on the base immediately after arriving at first base, wrapped his left thigh with both hands and complained of pain with his waist down.

I didn't have a good hunch that severe thigh pain occurred after running base play. In the end, coach Yoon Hae-jin, who looked closely at Kim Do-young's condition, raised both arms toward the bench and drew an X. It was an ominous sign that he wanted a replacement. In the end, Kim Do-young was replaced with a limp, and runner Yoon Do-hyun was put in.

Kim Do-young headed straight to the relevant hospital. During the game, the news of Kim Do-young's first examination was reported. An official from the KIA team said "MRI 1st examination revealed damage to the left hamstring area. I'm going to do a double check for now. Tomorrow (23rd) is Sunday, so I'm not sure if the hospital examination will be possible. "Once we have an additional examination with Cross, I think we will be able to get a more accurate picture of the injury."

Although additional examinations should be conducted, if the area where Kim Do-young felt pain was clear and the damage was suspected in the first MRI examination, the possibility of a major reversal in the additional examination results seems slim. Of course, the difference in the degree of damage also has a lot of influence on recovery. It is best to be able to return quickly because the damage is as small as possible.

KIA faced an unexpected and huge unfavorable factor as soon as it opened. Kim Do-young, who emerged as the team's leading hitter and the league's best star as regular season MVP last year, suffered a hamstring injury while running in the opening second at-bat, is a huge loss to the team.

Director Lee Bum-ho's idea is also completely different. Although additional examination results have not yet been released, head coach Lee Bum-ho has to prepare for the worst situation of having to play the early part of the season without Kim Do-young. He is a coach who has no choice but to get complicated even before the final diagnosis is made this weekend and early next week.
