Game 4 was a watershed moment in determining the direction of the series. If KIA wins, it is effectively tying the game with three wins and one loss. On the contrary, if Samsung wins, the game of winning and losing two games will start from scratch. Samsung had four solo homers on the previous day, and garnered one win from its counterattack after losing two consecutive games. The team showed strong performance by banking on its slugging capability. The result was an overwhelming victory for KIA. Kim Sun-bin and Kim Tae-gun, who led the team to victory on the day, emerged as MVP candidates.
Kim Seon-bin, the "Master of Hitting," who is swinging the bat in the Korean Series, greatly contributed to destroying the opponent team's starting pitcher, Won Tae-in. He played as the second batter, and when leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho got on base with an infield hit to the second base, he bit Won Tae-in. After a close game of 10 pitches, he hit a double when hitting the left fence, laying the groundwork for the first run. As the first batter in the third inning, he got on base with left-handed hits and scored runs. In the seventh inning, he hit a left-handed double with two outs and a runner on the first base. He thus displayed no weakness in hitting the ball in fear.
He had deep intervention in scoring processes in Game 1 and Game 2 to lead the team to victory. He even went as far as to celebrate as a home run in Game 1, but started with a humiliating triple, he garnered a walk to come from behind in the seventh inning. In Game 2, he got on base with a timely RBI double in the bottom of the first inning, and a heavy hit in the bottom of the eighth inning, and the pinch runner scored a decisive point. In Game 3, he had two hits and a sacrifice bunt. He has displayed overwhelming performance by posting eight hits in 13 at-bats for four games, 615 in a batting average, two RBIs, three runs, three runs, three doubles, and one OPS of 1.625.
Kim struck out at bat at the first batter's box in the second inning, but his second batter's box was the dominant one. When he had a chance to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the third inning with his team leading 3-0, he hit a grand slam against Song. It was the first grand slam he hit in his 17-year professional career including the regular season. It was the fifth homerun in the history of the Korean Series. The single shot gave him a 7-0 run to secure the win. He also hit right-handed hits in the fifth inning.
He had a wedge-shaped RBI in the first and second games. In the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on the first base, he hit a double to center on the left, and scored a 5-1 wedge-shaped run. In the bottom of the eighth inning with his team leading 7-2 at the second game, pinch runner Kim Gyu-seong advanced to the third base due to a stolen base and a mistake in throwing by the opponent team's catcher, and hit a fly ball to the left field to score an additional point for his second consecutive win. In four games, he had five hits, 385, six RBIs and an OPS of 1.169 in 13 times at bat.
Kim contributed more than just hitting the ball. He played full games while wearing a catcher's mask, leading the team to victory with a luxurious lead in all four games. He showed off his powerful defense by throwing balls at 17 consecutive fastballs against Yang. James Nail, the winning pitcher of Game 4, said, "Kim Tae-gun showed good results today. He has strong leadership. He urged me to slow down when I get shaky."
