In 1982, the first year of the professional baseball league, Park Cheol-soon, who led the OB (now Doosan Bears) to victory as an ace, was named MVP of the regular league. He was honored as the first MVP, but what was amazing was that he received the "all-out" award, which swept all the votes.

There has been no unanimous MVP in the KBO League for more than 40 years since Park Cheol-soon. However, a player who is trying to win the unanimous MVP has appeared this year. Kim Do-young (KIA) is the main character.

A total of 18 players have been nominated for MVP at the 2024 professional baseball award ceremony to be held on July 26. However, only Kim's name stands out among the 18 players.

This is because his performance has been brilliant this year.

In his third year as a pro, Kim has displayed full potential this year. He showed even performance throughout batting average of 0.347 (third), 38 homers (second), 109 RBIs (seventh), 189 hits (third), 143 runs (first), 40 steals (sixth), 0.420 on-base percentage (third), 0.647 slugging percentage (first), and 1.067 OPS (first). His 143 runs was the best in a season in the KBO league, and he was the youngest to record 30 homers and 30 steals.
The MVP is certain to win. Some players like Victor Reyes (Lotte), who had 202 hits to break Seo`s record of most hits in a single season in 10 years, but none beats Kim when considering not only individual performance but also team performance.

However, it is not easy to win a unanimous award. In 1982, Park Cheol-soon became a sole candidate because she had no competitor, and she won a unanimous award because she had no vote against it. However, now she has to surpass a number of competitors and the number of reporters participating in the voting has increased incomparably from the beginning. It is not the same situation as Park Cheol-soon did.

Lee Dae-ho in 2010 when he won seven hits and Lee Jung-hoo in 2022 when he won five hits also failed to win the MVP award. In 2010, Lee garnered only 59 out of 92 votes, which was a significant 30 votes for Ryu at the time.

This is the saddest case for Lee to miss the unanimous award in 2022. He garnered 104 votes out of 107 total votes. Of the remaining three votes, two went to Lee Dae-ho and one to Ahn Woo-jin, a pitcher of the same team. Eric Peddy, who created the Triple Crown for pitchers last year, also received a small number of votes, 102 out of 111 but was not the unanimous winner either. 온라인카지노

Whether Kim will win the MVP or not remains in doubt at this point. However, it is time for Kim to win the MVP award. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Do-young will be able to set another record.
