KT is dreaming of making a comeback as a strong starting team. It has advanced to the fall baseball league for the fifth consecutive year, but failed to advance to the final round for fifth place in 2024 from the runner-up of the Korean Series in 2023.스포츠토토

The key is for foreign ace William Cuevas and native ace Ko Young-pyo to become clear pillars again. This year, it is the starting point of KT's goal that Ko Young-pyo will run the league's most quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) as before, and Cuevas will take charge of more than 25 wins while showing the same performance as last year's innings.

As the newly recruited foreign pitcher Enmanuel de Heysus is a pitcher who pitched 171.1 innings in the lowest Kiwoom to win 13 games (11 losses), KT, which has a better power structure, is expected to perform better.

On top of that, Cho's revival marks the peak of KT's revival this year. Cho Hyung-joon, who returned to the mound last year after elbow surgery, will return as the starting pitcher. He can expect to win 10 games if he fills the regular innings.

KT's winning rate will also jump if Park Young-hyun, who scored 10 wins with 25 saves last year, wins more than 30 saves and competes for saves to complete his career in earnest.

In the batting lineup, Mel Rojas Jr. hit 40 home runs again to lead the race for home run king, and Kang Baek-ho, who is about to become a FA, hit his first 30 home runs or more in his debut, and if he leads the batting line with both guns, the power of KT's batters will double.

It is most important for the infield to quickly find stability and balance in the face of many changes in the off-season. It is hoped that new third baseman Huh Kyung-min will hit .300 as he did last year along with a stable defense, and Park Kyung-soo's retired second baseman Oh Yoon-seok will protect the infield axis with shortstop Kim Sang-soo and Keystone's combination. If the survival competition, which will be held for the first time by moving to the first base, ignites Hwang Jae-kyun's mind, the synergy effect of KT as a whole will also burn, and not only fall baseball but also the best stage for six consecutive years.
