'I'm in great condition...' Despite the chilly weather, I can't help but smile during training.
The exhibition game of the KBO League between KIA and Samsung will be held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 16th. Ahead of the game, KIA Kim Do-young and Byun Woo-hyuk joined third base defensive training. Kim Do-young focused on defensive training with a bright expression.
Kim Do-young recorded two hits and one RBI in three at-bats against Samsung on the 15th of the previous day. Kim Do-young, who hit a double in his first at-bat in the first inning, showed off his batting sense by hitting an RBI triple in the third inning and an RBI triple in the second at-bat.
Kim Do-young recorded seven hits in 15 at-bats (three doubles and one triple) in exhibition games this season, showing a high batting average of 467. He is in his best condition ahead of the opening of the KBO League on the 22nd.
Kim Do-young is also doing well in defensive training, which was in trouble at the beginning of last season. Originally, he was a good defensive player, but last year, he even trained separately due to consecutive defensive errors at the beginning of the season.
However, there is no problem with defense this season. During defensive training, he is catching the ball without making a defensive mistake with light steps. Even a smile never leaves. During the defense, I had more leeway.

The temperature in Gwangju has decreased more than the previous day. It is very chilly with a midday temperature of 6 degrees. Even the cold wind blows, and the temperature drops further to 3 degrees.
In both teams, the main players take a break and prospects gain experience as starters. The weather is chilly due to the cold snap of the spring season, but there seems to be no problem with the progress of the game.
