Installed in the cleanup spot, he\u2019s delivered immediate results and now leads the league in home runs. That kind of production is what separates a superstar from the rest.Before the season started, KIA\u2019s biggest concern was the lineup\u2019s drop-off after long-time centerpiece Choi Hyung-woo left in free agency for Samsung. Losing a proven middle-of-the-order bat left manager Lee Beom-ho with a significant question to solve.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2025-0118\/image-2bc3cfb4-5c21-4700-a7db-9cf998e4552f.jpeg\" alt=\"KIA\" \uae40\ub3c4\uc601\uc774 26\uc77c \uad11\uc8fc-\uae30\uc544 \ucc54\ud53c\uc5b8\uc2a4 \ud544\ub4dc\uc5d0\uc11c \uc5f4\ub9b0 2026 kbo\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc815\uaddc\uc2dc\uc98c \ub86f\ub370\uc804\uc5d0\uc11c \ud0c0\uaca9\ud558\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | kia \ud0c0\uc774\uac70\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> One of Lee\u2019s answers coming into the year was \u201c4-Doyoung\u201d\u2014moving Kim into the No. 4 spot. Kim\u2019s 2024 season, when he became the youngest player to post 30 homers and 30 steals and hit 38 homers overall, made him an obvious candidate for that role.Na Sung-bum opened the season in cleanup but struggled, hitting just .214. Herald Castro followed but didn\u2019t provide the needed pop either. On the 8th in Gwangju against Samsung, Kim slid into the cleanup slot and has stayed there since.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2025-0118\/image-aea9b84e-38b6-4105-b9d5-7794ab9597a9.jpeg\" alt=\"KIA\" \uae40\ub3c4\uc601\uc774 18\uc77c \uc11c\uc6b8 \uc7a0\uc2e4\uad6c\uc7a5\uc5d0\uc11c \uc5f4\ub9b0 2026 kbo\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc815\uaddc\uc2dc\uc98c \ub450\uc0b0\uc804\uc5d0\uc11c \ud648\ub7f0\uc744 \uce5c \ud6c4 \ud0c0\uad6c\ub97c \ubc14\ub77c\ubcf4\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | kia \ud0c0\uc774\uac70\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> The move paid off immediately. Kim belted his second homerof the season in that game and has been launching long balls regularly since. He now has eight homers, one more than KT\u2019s Jang Sung-woo (7) and ahead of LG\u2019s Austin Dean and Hanwha\u2019s Moon Hyun-bin (6).Overall batting average isn\u2019t eye-popping\u2014Kim is at .243 for the year\u2014but it rises to .267 when he\u2019s hitting cleanup. The more telling figure is the power jump: his slugging climbs from .425 as the No. 3 hitter to an impressive .733 in the cleanup spot.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2025-0118\/image-2483dc98-f350-4f50-aae2-b0de9d43e3f4.jpeg\" alt=\"KIA\" \uae40\ub3c4\uc601\uc774 8\uc77c \uad11\uc8fc-\uae30\uc544 \ucc54\ud53c\uc5b8\uc2a4 \ud544\ub4dc\uc5d0\uc11c \uc5f4\ub9b0 2026 kbo\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc815\uaddc\uc2dc\uc98c \uc0bc\uc131\uacfc \uacbd\uae30\uc5d0\uc11c 3\ud68c\ub9d0 \ud22c\ub7f0\ud3ec\ub97c \ub0a0\ub9b0 \ud6c4 \ubca0\uc774\uc2a4\ub97c \ub3cc\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | kia \ud0c0\uc774\uac70\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> Kim has long been recognized for his clutch hitting. In his breakout 2024 season he hit .317 with runners in scoring position; this year he\u2019s even better, posting a .370 average in those situations. When the team needs runs, he\u2019s the one delivering.During spring training, when the cleanup question was hotly debated, Kim kept it simple: \u201cI don\u2019t mind. I\u2019ll do whatever they ask.\u201d The team put him in the cleanup role based on need, and he\u2019s handled it with maturity and power.
