In capturing their 12th Korean Series title this fall, the Kia Tigers rode their superior roster depth to the top, receiving contributions from up and down their squad. One day, the regular-season MVP candidate Kim Do-yeong went deep and knocked in a multiple runs. Then it was diminutive second baseman Kim Sun-bin going on a 10-for-17 tear for the series MVP award. Veteran designated hitter Choi Hyoung-woo hustled for a double in one game and then became the oldest player to homer in Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason history in another. Light-hitting catcher Kim Tae-gun belted a grand slam -- the first of his career -- from the No. 9 spot. Source: Yonhap News Agency
