There has never been such an abundance of resources for third basemen. In the 2024 season, players from different teams competed for the best third basemen, while Kim Do-young (KIA Tigers) stood as the strongest. Who will be the highest in 2025.안전놀이터

Kim created a season that will go down in history last year. In 141 games, he recorded 189 hits in 544 at-bats, 38 homers, 40 steals, 143 runs and 109 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.647 OPS 1.067. He ranks first in runs, long hit, and on-base percentage, second in homers, third in batting average, most hits and on-base percentage, sixth in stolen bases, and tied for seventh in RBIs.

He has rewritten various history books. He became the youngest (20 years, 10 months and 13 days) in the history of the youngest game (111 games), 30 homers and 30 steals, the most points scored in a single season, 10 homers and 10 steals per month for the first time, the smallest at-bat natural cycling hit, the youngest (20 years, 8 months and 25 days) - the youngest (97 games) to score 100 points, and the youngest (20 years, 11 months and 6 days) to score 100 points and 100 RBIs.

With two more homers, Kim could have set a milestone of 40 homers and 40 steals for the second time in the KBO league since Eric Thames (then of the NC Dinos) in 2015. After Kia won the regular season title, Kim started to challenge for a milestone by playing the first batter. With five games to go until the end of the season, Kim shot his 38th homerun, raising the possibility of a milestone. However, he failed to hit a homerun in five games and finished the season with 38 homers.

Of course, she became the star of all kinds of award ceremonies. Kim Do-young lifted various trophies including MVP of the league, Golden Glove for third baseman, Ilgu Best Batter, Real Glove Award, Real Glove Award, Korea Professional Baseball Retirement Player of the Year Award, Cho-A Pharmaceutical, and Dong-A Sports Award.

Kim Do-young was only so good, but third basemen performed tremendously last season.

In 129 games, Choi Jeong played 136 hits from 468 times at bat with 37 homers, 93 runs, 107 RBIs and a batting average of 0.291 with a .384 on-base hit rate of 0.594 OPS of 0.978. In his 37th season, he made his sixth career 30-homer season. He also became the fourth player in his career to garner triple-digit RBIs. Choi has hit 495 home runs in the KBO league so far, and if he adds five more in the 2025 season, he will become the first player in the league to open the era of 500 home runs. (2nd place: Lee Seung-yeop with 467 home runs)

Song Seong-moon (Kium Heroes), who has emerged as the captain of the national team, is the most regrettable case. Song Seong-moon had 179 hits in 527 times at bat in 142 games with 19 homers, 21 steals, 88 runs and 104 RBIs in a batting average of 0.3409 and a slugging percentage of 0.518. He ranked fifth with the most hits in terms of batting average and average, and unfortunately missed out on joining the club with 20 homers and 20 steals due to the one-home run difference. Both his cumulative performance and ratio are in his career. Without Kim Do-young, he would have won the Golden Glove as third baseman. Based on his stellar performance, he joined the Premier 12 national team and became the first Korean national team member. He was then selected as captain and led the team.

Just like his nickname "Moon Treasure," Moon Bo-kyung left a sparkling performance. In all games, he recorded 156 hits in 519 at-bats, 22 home runs, 80 runs, 101 RBIs, a batting average of 0.301 on-base percentage of 0.372 OPS of 0.507 OPS of 0.879. He added one home run every year with eight home runs in 2021, nine home runs in 2022, and 10 home runs in 2023, and became the first player to hit 20 home runs this year. He also maintained a batting average of 300, catching two birds with accuracy and slugging power.

Noh Si-hwan, the "next national team No. 4," slowed down compared to 2023, but showed a stable performance. Noh recorded 143 hits, 24 homers, 88 runs, 89 RBIs, and a 0.272 on-base percentage of 0.356 OPS of 0.810. In 2023, he became the first title holder in his 00s with 31 homers and 101 RBIs, and represented Korea as the No. 4 hitter at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and the 2023 Asian Baseball Championship (APBC). Although it did not reach 2023, he feels like he has firmly strengthened his base this year.

Kim Young-woong put on a surprise performance. Kim Young-woong recorded 115 hits in 456 at-bats for 126 games, 28 homers, 65 runs, 79 RBIs and a batting average of 0.252 with a slugging percentage of 0.485 OPS of 0.806. He completed the regular innings for the first time in his career, and proved his power by ranking ninth in homers. He also posted four hits in 13 at-bats for four games, two homers, three runs and two RBIs, and a batting average of 0.308 with a slugging percentage of 0.471, which advanced his team to the Korean Series.

Now 2024 has passed and 2025 has dawned anew. Forgetting the glory of the last season, a new challenge unfolds. Who will be the best third baseman in the new season? Let's watch the hot corners this season carefully.
