Doosan Bears outfielder Kim Dae-han delivered a series of decisive offensive performances to help his team secure a winning series against the LG Twins [1].
The victory is significant because it ends a one-year and three-month drought since the Bears last achieved a winning series against their rivals in May of last year [1]. The surge in momentum has allowed Doosan to close the gap to LG to two games in the standings [1].
Kim provided an immediate spark upon his promotion from the farm team. In the series opener on Friday, he hit two home runs [1]. He continued his momentum on Saturday by recording a double in the eighth inning that produced the first run of the game [1].
Kim capped the series on Sunday with two hits, two RBIs, and two runs [1]. His contributions propelled the Doosan Bears to a final series record of two wins and one draw [1].
Kim credited his preparation during his time in the second-tier league for his current form. He said that he waited for a good opportunity while preparing hard in the farm system during the first half of the season, and he intends to remain calm and handle each single moment as it comes [1].
“Doosan ended a one-year and three-month drought without a winning series against LG.”
Kim Dae-han's promotion and immediate impact represent a critical tactical shift for the Doosan Bears. By breaking a long-standing struggle against the LG Twins, Doosan has not only improved its standing in the KBO but has also identified a viable offensive catalyst who can perform under the pressure of a high-stakes rivalry.
