Will the Kia Tigers produce a double shot with 30 home runs for the first time in 16 years since 2009. The mood is likely to be ripe.메이저사이트
KIA Tigers, a prestigious baseball team that shines in the V12, is a batter with 30 home runs. Starting with Kim Sung-han (30 home runs) in 1988, Lee Jong-beom (30 home runs) in 1997, Tracey Sanders (40 home runs) Hong Hyun-woo (34) and Yang Joon-hyuk (32) in 1999, Kim Sang-hyun (36) and Choi Hee-seop (33) in 2009, Lee Beom-ho (33 home runs) in 2016, Preston Tucker (32 home runs) in 2020, and Kim Do-young (38 home runs) in 2024.
It was only in 1999 and 2009 that two or more 30-homer hitters were produced, and the 30-homer trio was in 1999. Sanders is the only batter with 40 homers. Kim Do-young's 38 homers this season are the most in a season for a native hitter of the Tigers.
Attention is mounting on the possibility of adding a line to this history in the 2025 season. Patrick Wisdom (33) with 88 home runs in the Major League will come. Wisdom signed a contract for the 2025 season for 1 million dollars. It is an extreme racketeering move. The total number of balls in the Major League and Minor League including the four outs is 0.25 and 0.36, respectively.
Kia is not worried about this figure, however. Analysts say that Wisdom is only a batter who has weaknesses in fastballs, and that his ability to cope with breaking balls is not bad. Statcast said that out of 59 strikeouts this year, the team struck out 30 times on fastballs, 21 times on breaking balls, and eight times on off-speed pitches. In 2023, when the team performed well, the team struck out 58 times on fastballs, 40 times on breaking balls, and 13 times on off-speed pitches, respectively.
According to the run value (scoring value) of this season, the score was -3 for four-seam, -5 for sinker, and -2 for slider and change-up. The sweeper is -2, the curve is 0. In sum, it may not be said that it is very strong against breaking balls, but it is true that there were more problems with fastballs. And there are not many chances to see fastballs that are as fast as those in the Major League in the KBO. If he adapts well to balls in the early 150-km range, he will naturally maintain his ability to respond to breaking balls and generate productivity.
Wisdom hit 20 home runs three times in the Major League and 30 home runs twice in the Minor League. Expecting 30 home runs in the KBO League (though it would be even better if he hits more) is an internal view of the team. If Kim Do-young hits 30 home runs next year, Kia will have high expectations for a 30-home run duo for the first time in 16 years since 2009. Furthermore, if Na Sung-bum or Choi Hyung-woo make all-out efforts, they can expect a 30-home run trio that has fallen asleep since 1999. Coach Lee Bum-ho predicted that Na Sung-bum, who struggled due to leg injury for the past two years, will be able to revive next year.
Producing a 30-homer duo is not an easy task, but it has happened frequently in the history of the KBO league. Some teams won the title like KIA in 2009, while others did not play in the fall baseball. As for KIA, since the mound is stable, if the number of homers increases, chances are high that it will generate synergy in its power.
If Kia produces a trio of 30 home runs for the first time in 26 years, it will remain in the club's history books forever. In 1999, Haitai was at the bottom of the Dream League. However, if Kia produces a trio of 30 home runs next year, it will pave the way for its team to lose two consecutive games.
