KIA Kim Do-young left another meaningful record in KBO League history.
At the bottom of the eighth inning with one out and two runners on the second base, Kim hit a left-handed triple to complete his 100th RBI of the season. Kim had 98 RBIs of the season before the game, but he added an important RBI in the eighth inning, which could be the finishing hit. As KIA won 5-2, Kim's timely hit became the finishing hit of the day.
By completing 100 RBIs on the day, Kim completed 30 homers, 30 steals, 100 runs and 100 RBIs. In addition to 30 homers, 30 homers and 30 steals, he sets triple-digit scores in runs and RBIs in five categories, which can be called a "quantuple triple." 토토사이트 순위
Park Jae-hong (Hyundai Unicorns) in 2000 and Eric Thames (NC) in 2015 were the only hitters who recorded a quantum triple in the KBO League. Kim Do-young has a batting average of 0.345 as of the 8th, and no matter how sluggish he is in the rest of the game, it is virtually impossible for his batting average to fall below 300, so achieving a "quantouble triple" is definitive.
Kim has recorded 171 hits in 496 times at bat through Sunday. He will post an average of four times at bat in the remaining 12 games, posting a batting average of 0.314, even if he has no hits in 48 times at bat.
All four other cumulative records have already exceeded the criteria. Kim has 35 homers, 38 steals, 128 runs scored, and 100 RBIs.
Quantum triple is also an uncommon record in the Major League. According to major league statistics websites, Ken Williams first achieved this record in 1922 and Hank Aaron set a second record in 1963. The most recent record was set last year by Ronald Acuña Jr., who achieved it 22 times in total. As Barry Bonds set it three times and Vladimir Guerrero set it twice, only 19 batters actually set the record.
KIA beat Kiwoom 5-2 amid Kim Do-young's performance, reducing the magic number for winning the regular season and going straight to the Korean Series to 6.
