KIA's Kim Do-young: "Short series is a battle of who makes fewer mistakes... I'm preparing just like the regular season" [Semi-PO]

‌Meeting with reporters before the game, Kim Do-young shared his calm thoughts, saying, "I am just preparing the same way I did during the regular season. I don't feel particularly nervous. I think it's because it's a day game."
After securing 3rd place by hitting a dramatic home run against the LG Twins in the final game of the season, he prepared for autumn baseball by watching the Wild Card game between LG and the Doosan Bears.
During the interview, Kim Do-young smiled as he picked An Jae-seok's (Doosan) defensive error as the most memorable scene from the Wild Card game.
In the bottom of the 2nd inning with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, An Jae-seok dropped Shin Min-jae's (LG) bunt and attempted a throw to 3rd, but the ball slipped, creating a bases-loaded situation with no outs.
Kim Do-young shared, "After seeing that scene, senior (Kim) Sun-bin contacted me. He advised me not to rush and to take things slowly in such situations."
Reflecting on it, Kim added, "If it were me, I think I would have just caught the bunt ball. Since it's a big game and Min-jae hyung is fast, I thought I would have just caught it immediately upon seeing him run."
Having tasted the glory of the 2024 season championship, Kim Do-young is now entering his second postseason.
