Kim Do-bin won the grand prize at the 2024 SOOP Youth Baseball Awards held at SOOP Freak-up Studio in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 22nd.

Kim had four hits (four homers) in six at-bats for three games (four homers) and seven RBIs in the national baseball championship of Hwaseong Mayor's Cup in 2024. Notably, he hit consecutive homeruns and played a critical role in his team's victory. As a pitcher, he boasts powerful ball power as a left-handed pitcher.

The Korea Youth Baseball Federation said, "We are looking forward to growing into a player representing Korea."

Chairman Lee Sang-geun said, "His skills have improved not only physically but also technically. Compared to other elite players, he is probably one of the 10th graders in middle school. If he grows up well like this, he is expected to become a jewel in Korean baseball."

Kim Do-bin said, "I thank the federation for helping me play baseball in a good environment. I also thank my coaches and my teammates who train and play together for me to do well in baseball. I also thank Coach Park Cheol-hong for his willingness to send me to play during the youth games even though I am in middle school. I also want to thank my parents for their silent support and support from behind. I will try to become a player who can shine on the youth baseball league in the future."

Kim Do-bin of Seongdong-gu Youth Baseball Team is taking a commemorative photo with Lee Sang-geun, president of the Korea Youth Baseball Federation, after winning the grand prize at the "2024 SOOP Youth Baseball Awards" held at the Freak-up Studio in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 22nd.
"I'm not that good, but I'm so honored that you gave me this award," Kim said after the ceremony. "I still have a lot of room to improve. I think I need to supplement it more."

He cited speed as his strength at the moment of bat. "I worked hard on basic skills that the coach and coach teach me," Kim said.

His role model is Ryu Hyun-jin of Hanwha Eagles.

"Ryu Hyun-jin was also a pitcher hitter when he was in middle and high school. I want to be a great player like Ryu Hyun-jin," Kim said.

Currently, he stands out in batting, but his quality as a pitcher is also good. Which position would he be more attractive between a batter and a pitcher? "First of all, pitching batters are fun. I have good results, but both of them want to work hard and be a good hitter," he said, expressing his commitment to Lee Do-ryu.

As for his strength as a pitcher, he smiled, "My strength is that I can boldly put a strike on my body well."

Kim Do-bin said, "I won't be arrogant just because I won the award, and I will train more faithfully in the future," adding, "I will do my best to my parents by playing baseball hard."
