Song Sung-moon Joins KBO’s 20-20 Club with Home Runs Against Every Team After a Decade in Pro Baseball

Song Sung-moon of the Kiwoom Heroes has made history in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League, becoming the first player this season to join the prestigious 20-20 club with at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. On August 15 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, Song launched a game-tying solo shot to right field against Go Young-pyo of the kt wiz in the fifth inning with two outs, making his mark with two significant milestones in one night.

Prior to his home run, Song had tallied 19 home runs and 19 stolen bases for the season. In his first at-bat, he reached base due to a defensive error and successfully swiped second base, recording his 20th stolen base of the year. His fifth-inning blast completed his 20th home run, making him the first player in the KBO this season—and the 58th in league history—to achieve entry into the 20-20 club.

This feat comes in his 10th year as a professional, marking his first time achieving both marks in a single season. Additionally, with this home run, Song became the eighth player this year to hit a home run against every team in the league, further bolstering his standout campaign.

Song has recently drawn attention for signing a record-breaking non-free agent (non-FA) multi-year contract worth 12 billion won over six years—the highest ever for a non-FA position player in KBO history. His deal, one of just six non-FA contracts to surpass the 10-billion-won mark, sets a new standard among KBO position players.
