Professional baseball player Kim Do-young of the KIA Tigers has hit home runs in three consecutive games.
Kim blasted a solo home run off NC Dinos starting pitcher Natsuki Toda in the top of the first inning during an away game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season at Changwon NC Park today (July 31).
When the first pitch, an inside slider, came his way, he cleared the outfield wall with a lightning-fast swing.
Hitting his 33rd home run of the season, he widened the gap with second-place home run hitter Austin Dean (LG Twins, 31 home runs) to two.
Kim has recently been boasting a scorching batting momentum.
With this home run, he extended his streak to three consecutive games with a home run, racking up six home runs in his last seven games.
Kim, who finished second in the league with 38 home runs in 2024, is making smooth progress toward his first career home run king title and 40 home runs.
