The Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the 2024 Korea Series was Kim Sun-bin (35). He came out of Hwasunjung-Hwasungo and was drafted by KIA in the sixth round of the 2008 KBO Draft with the 43rd overall pick. Despite his 165-centimeter height, he has been a pillar of Kia’s defense with his determination and excellent hitting skills. Excluding his time in the commercial service, he averaged .305 with 1,645 hits, 41 home runs, 621 RBIs, 154 doubles, and 739 runs scored in 16 seasons in the regular league. In 2017, he made his presence felt by winning the batting title (.370) and the Golden Glove at shortstop.
Kim was 10-for-17 with three home runs, three doubles, two RBIs and a .588 slugging percentage in the Korean Series. He received 46 votes (46.5 percent of the total) from the 99 members of the media voting for the award, edging out Kim Tae-goon, who impressed with a walk-off home run in Game 4, for the series MVP honor by one vote.
Kim Sun-bin led his team to victory in Game 4 of the Korean Series in Daegu on April 26 with a terrifying batting performance. He fought tirelessly against Samsung ace pitcher Won Tae-in from the start of the game, fouling off pitches. He took advantage of a 10-pitch slider and smashed a two-run double off the left-field wall. He continued to lead the offense, 카지노사이트 going 3-for-5 with a walk and a run scored. The 9-2 victory gave Kia a crucial opportunity to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
He also played a key role in Kia’s 2017 championship (V11).
In five games, he batted .357 (5-for-14) with one home run, three RBI, three runs scored, and a .471 slugging percentage. He played every game and helped his team win the championship. In this series, he reached base in every game. In Game 4, center fielder Choi Hyung-woo overcame the pressure of batting second in the batting order due to a sore back to hit well. He was even better in Game 5, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. “I was young when we won in 2017, and I’m even more impressed now that I’m a senior,” Kim said.
Kim made a memorable return to the Korean Series after seven years. Next year, he will be in his 17th year as a professional. He is one of the most experienced players in the Kia organization after Choi Hyung-woo (41). He’s not stopping yet. He vows to continue racing for the Kia V13 in the future.
