2024 Korea Baseball Organization
(Redirected from 2024 KBO)
The 2024 Korea Baseball Organization season was the 43rd for the KBO. Foreign players occupied the leaderboard again as Kyle Hart was the strikeout leader and won the Choi Dong-won Award, and James Naile grabbed the ERA title. Victor Reyes broke the KBO single-season hits record, Guillermo Heredia won the batting title and Matt Davidson led in dingers. 20-year-old phenomenon Do-yeong Kim set the KBO record for most runs scored, and he became the youngest player to reach 30-30. He was expected to win the KBO MVP award. In the 2024 Korean Series, the KIA Tigers beat their fellow big cats - the Samsung Lions - and won their 12th title.
