Kim Sung-yoon of the Samsung Lions started as the second batter and right fielder at a home game against the KIA Tigers in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. He made four hits (one homer) in six times at bat with two RBIs and three runs scored.안전놀이터
He hit a home run for the first time in 617 days since the game against the Daegu LG Twins on Aug. 16, 2023. He also posted his first four-hit game since his professional debut, posting the most hits in an individual game. Samsung won the game 17-5 to advance to its second consecutive win.
In the bottom of the third inning, Kim had a hit to the right, with no outs and runners on the first and third bases. Samsung added two more runs in the inning to lead the game 4-1. Kim, who started the game as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning, hit KIA pitcher Kim Dae-yu's third pitch and 134 km/h fastball, and hit an outstanding solo home run with a driving distance of 125 meters. It was 5-1. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he had a hit to the center field with no runners on one out. Samsung scored eight runs in the sixth inning alone, smiling through the big inning.
In his last at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, Kim hit a timely double with two outs and a runner on the second base to right-handed to post a score of 17-3. It was the best day of his career.
Kim Sung-yoon's season performance was 0.358 (24 hits in 67 at-bats), one home run, 11 RBIs and 16 points, a slugging percentage of 0.522, an on-base percentage of 0.411 and a scoring average of 0.474 in 24 games.
Kim Sung-yoon, whom I met after the victory, said, "Lee Jin-young, the batting coach, helps me a lot. I'm always grateful," adding, "When I hit a home run, the coach told me to forget it. He said my direction was 'contact', and I'm not going to lose that mindset."
"If you want to die, you will live, and if you want to live, you will die," Kim Sung-yoon said. "If you want to play well, you can't, but if you enjoy it comfortably, you will get a hit," he said. "Song Eun-beom bought me chicken at the beginning of the season and told me to play baseball with a positive smile. When I tried it, it really happened."
