It became an unforgettable birthday.

NC Dinos' Kim Joo-won set the sixth real record in KBO league history in an away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 30th. He stole second base, third base, and home. He recorded four stolen bases on the day, with two second-base steals, one third-base steal and one home steal.

After Kim Il-kwon (1985), Lee Jong-doo (1990), Kim Jae-bak (1991), Shin Dong-ju (1999), and Lee Taek-geun (2011), he became the sixth great 盜 to steal all bases.




Kim Joo-won, who started as a No. 1-striker, hit a heavy hit in the top of the first inning against Lotte's new left-handed ace Alec Gamboa and reached base. Kim Joo-won, who went to third base when No. 2 Kwon Hee-dong hit right-center, made a home steal when Gamboa checked to first base at the full count during Park Kun-woo's at-bat in No. 3. As soon as first baseman Na Seung-yeop received the ball, he sprayed it to first base, and catcher Yoo Kang-nam tagged it and declared safe. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung applied for a video review, but he confirmed it was safe by a slight difference. He scored the first point with a home steel that shakes the ace, Gamboa.

Kim Joo-won also came out as a leadoff batter in the top of the third inning, hitting the right-handed hit, and successfully stealing the second base and stealing the third base in a row to achieve a milestone. In the top of the sixth inning, Kim Joo-won, who stole four times on the day by hitting left-handed hits and stealing second base, later came home and scored when Park Gun-woo grounded out in front of the shortstop. He led his team to a 9-4 victory by performing his duties as a top hitter perfectly with three hits, four steals, and one RBI and two runs in six at-bats.

Regarding Home Steel, Kim Joo-won said, `I was told by coach Park Yong-geun before the game that I might play Home Steel, and the situation just came in the first inning and I ran under coach Park's direction.' Then "Gamboa was so good at ball games that he made a scoring route with playing baseball. The start was a little late, but luck seems to have played a role," he said with a smile. Kim Ju-won said, `I didn't know I had such a great record during the game. I feel really good and I'll try to play in the future."

It's a career high season. Until this day, he had a batting average of 273, 98 hits, six home runs, 33 RBIs and 30 steals. His batting average was higher than last year's 253, and his hits also exceeded last year's 97. For the first time, he stole more than 20 and reached 30.

Thirty steals was one of the goals of the season. Kim Joo-won said, `I thought I wanted to do about 30 before the season, but I'm glad I achieved it as soon as possible.' `I've achieved my goal, and now that it's hot summer, I'll not overdo it and play according to the situation.'

Another target of the first 100 hits was also left with only two. "I wanted to hit 100 last year, but I didn't do well. I really wanted to play this year, but I think I'll feel really good if I play it."




"It's better to have a hard time. What's hard is that I played a lot in the game"I feel good because I think I helped my team win by moving actively in today's game. In addition, I feel better because today is my birthday."
