The KIA Tigers, who are trying to win their second consecutive Korean Series title, met with unexpected major negative factors from the opening game.

Kim Do-young (21), who was selected as the MVP of the regular season with the youngest "30 Home Run-30 Stealers" in history last season, was replaced with a thigh pain in the opening game against the NC Dinos of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd.

Kim Do-young, who was forward-deployed as the second batter and third baseman, was caught with a fly ball to left field in the first at-bat in the first inning against NC starter Logan Allen.

In the bottom of the third inning, KIA led 1-0, he hit a left-handed hit in his second at-bat after one out.

However, Kim Do-young complained of left thigh pain in the process of returning to first base. 카지노사이트

KIA trainer ran out and checked Kim Do-young's condition, and decided that he could no longer play, so he was replaced by Yoon Do-hyun.

Kim Do-young immediately moved to a nearby hospital and conducted a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, and it was confirmed that her left hamstring was damaged.

A KIA official said, "I think we need to do a second screening to check the specific degree of injury," adding, "The recovery and rehabilitation period will be known only after a second screening."

Kim Do-young is scheduled to undergo a second thorough examination on the 24th.

KIA was dragged 1-2 and won 9-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning with Choi Hyung-woo's come-from-behind double and Han Jun-su's wedge three-run home run.

However, Kim Do-young, a leading hitter, will not be able to play for the time being due to a thigh injury, which is expected to cause considerable disruption to the race at the beginning of the season.
