This is the only KIA player who warmed up before the evaluation match with KT who did 'farmer fashion', and this is Kim Do-young, who is considered a top rookie in professional baseball this year.
Kim Do-young was called the second Jong-beom Lee because of his outstanding ballistic skills during his time at Dongseong High School in Gwangju, and was selected by the KIA for the first time this season.
He stayed in the 2nd Army due to the Corona issue and joined the 1st Army camp on the 1st, but everything is still strange.

In the first real stage of the first team, I came out as the second hitter shortstop and stood out in karate.
He calmly walked without being deceived by Yoo In-gu at bat, and then hit the opposing pitcher's changeup to make his first team hit.
In defense, he caught a difficult hit and showed a neat throw, which earned him praise from his seniors.
Although he has just started to walk, Kim Do-young has revealed his aspirations.

And we, KIA Tigers, will be able to win the Rookie of the Year title for the second year in a row.]
