KIA Tigers 'Superstar' Kim Do-young (23) launched a go-ahead solo home run to take the lead.

Kim Do-young started as the No. 3 hitter and third baseman in Game 3 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Postseason Playoffs (PO, best-of-five series) held on the 29th at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field.

Kim Do-young delivered the decisive blow that broke the balance of the game. In the bottom of the 3rd inning, with the teams tied 2-2 and no runners on base after one out, Kim Do-young engaged in a stubborn duel with opposing pitcher Bae Chan-seung.

On the 6th pitch of a 2-2 count, Kim Do-young's bat swung fiercely. He pushed through a 152 km/h fastball thrown by Bae Chan-seung to a high outside corner of the strike zone, and the ball soared over the right field fence for a go-ahead solo home run with a distance of 115 meters.

It was a perfect push hit that instantly reversed the atmosphere that had been about to sink after the previous batter, Kim Ho-ryeong, struck out on three pitches. With Kim Do-young's home run, KIA took a 3-2 lead and seized control of the game.
