The coronation ceremony for the 10th MVP in the history of the KIA Tigers is just three days away. Will Kim Do-young (21) become the second unanimous MVP in 42 years since Park Cheol-soon in 1982.
The KBO regular season award ceremony will take place at Lotte Hotel World Crystal Ballroom in Seoul on Wednesday. The MVP has already been decided. It is Kim Do-young. She has a batting average of 0.347 with 38 homers, 109 RBIs, 143 runs, 40 steals, and a 0.647 on-base hit ratio of 0.420. She has a 0.317 OPS of 1.067.
Individual titles are only points scored and slugging percentage. He ranked second in homers, seventh in RBIs, third in most hits, and third in on-base percentage. However, given that there is no other top contender in the official KBO award category other than Kim Do-young this year, it is safe to say that there is no more impactful candidate than Kim Do-young.
Crucially, Kim left behind a slew of issues. He tried his hand at 40-40 in nine years since Eric Thames in 2015, but failed due to two home runs difference. However, he recorded his first 10-10 in April, 20-20 in the fifth half, 30-30 in the youngest-minimum game, 3-30-30-100 for the third time in the history of natural cycling, and the most goals scored in a single season.
It is natural to expect Kim to become MVP in 42 years since Park Cheol-soon in 1982, the first year of the KBO League. At that time, Park had 24 wins, four losses and seven saves with an ERA of 1.84 and 108 strikeouts in 224.2 innings in 36 games. He ranked first in earned runs and earned runs, and second in the most innings and strikeouts.
Since then, however, there has never been a unanimous MVP. Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop, who boasts of being named the MVP five times in 1997, 1999, and 2001-2003, also failed to reach a unanimous vote. He became a sensation with 56 home runs in 2003, but the result was not unanimous. The same was true of Sun Dong-yeol, who was named the MVP three times in 1986 and 1989-1990 as well.
KIA will become the 10th MVP-winning team for the first time in its history. The team has three former coach Sun Dong-yeol, two former coaches Kim Sung-han (1985 and 1988, one coach for KT Wiz (1994), one coach for Kim Sang-hyun (2009), one Yoon Seok-min (2011), and one Yang Hyeon-jong (2017). If Kim Do-young becomes a unanimous MVP, he will become the most MVP-winning team in history and a unanimous MVP producing team. 메이저사이트
Samsung Lions is also tied for first with Kia as it has won nine MVP awards. Following the fifth inning by Lee Seung-yeop, the former coach Lee Man-soo (1983), the former second division coach Jang Hyo-jo (1987), the former coach Kim Sung-rae (1993), and the former coach Bae Young-soo (2004) of the SSG Landers. However, the team failed to produce an MVP for 20 years since Bae's coaching.
In addition to KIA and Samsung, the eight Doosan Bears (including OB), the four Hanwha Eagles and the Kiwoom Heroes (including Binggrae-Nexen), the three-time Lotte Giants, the NC Dinos, the KT Wiz, the SK Wyverns, and the now-defunct Hyundai Unicorns have also produced MVPs. Strangely, the LG Twins have never produced a regular-season MVP.
