Kim Do-young trains with a new glove to strengthen his resolve after a slump.

KIA’s Kim Do-young had a new pair of gloves delivered to his coach, Lee Bum-ho, ahead of their upcoming game against KT in Suwon on April 24.

Coach Lee carefully examined the glove, which he had seen before when he played in Japan, and tested it himself.

He gave her a thorough explanation of the glove’s features and helped her get used to it by giving her a pogo stick.

After going 3-for-3 at the plate, Kim’s defense was also in trouble. After making only two errors this season, she made five in the last six games.

“I shouldn’t have let my batting results affect my defense, but I think I lost my focus,” Kim said. “I always try to have the mindset of starting over after a mistake. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. Baseball is a very difficult sport,” he said, expressing his frustration.

His season batting average dropped by three percent to .297. This is the first time since the start of the season that Kim’s batting average has been below .300.

He fell into a deep slump in August. In 70 at-bats, he is batting .257 with 18 home runs, 10 RBIs and 14 runs scored. In his last 10 games, he’s not much better, going 9-for-40 with a .225 batting average, seven RBIs and four runs scored.스포츠토토

Kim, who has consistently produced hits and walks, hasn’t gotten on base in his last two games.

Kim’s role is crucial for KIA’s chances in the fall baseball season. He is desperate to break out of his slump.
