It's time to really end the rivalry.

Middle and high school rivals Kim Do-young and Yoon Do-hyun (both 22, KIA Tigers) are now likely to end their real rivalry and become real partners. Now that head coach Lee Bum-ho has declared that he will foster Yoon Do-hyun as a super backup between second baseman, third baseman and shortstop, the two super prospects are certain to grow into riders who will carry KIA from the front.

Coach Lee Bum-ho has had a decisive influence on the growth of the two and is a leader who will continue to have a close influence. It was coach Lee Bum-ho who settled Kim Do-young as the third baseman. He pushed ahead with confidence that he would grow into a center hitter and clutch heater, not as a table setter for No. 1 or No. 2, laying the foundation for the 2024 sensational season.

The same applies to Yoon Do-hyun. While Kim Do-yeong has been growing rapidly over the past three years, he has been on the right track due to injury. Lee Bum-ho tried to leave the all-weather backup to Yoon Do-hyun last year, but it fell through. He is pushing ahead with the same plan in a year. It is not his intention to increase defense capability in all positions in the infield. It should be seen as a preliminary work to secure maximum number of at-bats and secure a starting position in the future.

Coach Lee Bum-ho believes that Yoon Do-hyun, like Kim Do-young, should ultimately take a position in the infield and play as the main player. However, he ordered Yoon Do-hyun to live the life of a super backup first because there is no room to play as the main player right now.
Kim Do-young and Yoon Do-hyun will play together this year, and they will likely protect the KIA infield together. Although they never played together during middle and high school, they are expected to finally join forces in the professional league. Of course, the scenario in which Yoon Do-hyun plays as a backup to Kim Do-young and provides him with a break time can also be realized.

The Kia Tigers should immediately prepare for the possibility that Park Chan-ho will leave the team after this season. Kim said, "There are two years left before signing the contract as an FA. However, the age of 36 is not that small. To prepare for the worst, and to ensure smooth rebuilding or retooling, Yoon has to secure the number of at-bats in advance to prepare for the future. There is a reason to prepare for all positions except the first base. 카지노

Now, Kim and Yoon are true partners, contributing to the team by playing in the first division. Kim will keep playing third base for a long time before moving on to the Major League. Yoon is expected to play as a starting member of the infield, regardless of whether he is a shortstop or a second baseman, after spending some time as a super backup.

He has extraordinary batting potential. He also had an amazing homerun in the last practice game against the KT Wiz in Okinawa on Sunday. He pulled the ball from the outside course as if pressing the ball, making a cannon to the left with his line drive. Manager Lee Bum-ho saw through Yoon Do-hyun's talent early on and was confident as his starting player.

And there must be some things that Yoon Do-hyun gains by backing up all of his infield positions this year. Lee believes that Yoon is a player who can grow rapidly with just his experience in the first team. He was a rival, but his friend Kim Do-young can help him a lot right next to him. The day has come for Kim Do-young and Yoon Do-hyun to lead KIA together.
