At the beginning of the season, Kim Do-young is writing history.

It was a record that was not in professional baseball with 10 home runs and 10 steals per month.

The fearless record march of 21-year-old Kim Do-young, who said he had no greed, continued.

He joined the 20-20 club and even joined the cycling hit, and as the youngest, he made 30 home runs and 30 steals.

Kim Do-young, who finished the regular league with 38 home runs and 40 stolen bases, also ranked first in scoring and slugging percentage.

In particular, 143 points is the highest in professional baseball history.

In addition to a phenomenal record and a combined win, Kim Do-young has been mentioned as an MVP candidate all season and started collecting trophies with the Retired Players Council' Best Player Award.

At the KBO Awards, which will be released on the 26th, attention is focused on whether or not they will vote.

Park Chul-soon, who had an overwhelming performance with a 1.84 ERA in 1982, was the first and last unanimous MVP.

KIA teammate Nail and Samsung ace Won Tae-in are among the candidates, but it is difficult to influence the trend.

Doosan's Kim Taek-yeon, who played a finishing role with 3 wins, 2 losses and 19 saves, is expected to be the most promising rookie of the year.
