KIA defeated the Doosan Bears 4-1 in the 2025 KBO League exhibition game held at Jamsil Stadium on the 13th.
Both teams' starters checked their conditions side by side.
First, KIA starter Adam Oler threw 62 pitches in four innings to prepare for the opening without losing a point. KIA, which selected James Nail as the starting pitcher for the opening game, plans to use Oler as the second starter. Second pitcher Kim Dae-yu allowed one run. From the sixth inning, Lim Ki-young, Jeon Sang-hyun, Kwak Do-gyu, and Jung Hae-young deleted each inning. In the batting lineup, Na Sung-bum played two hits in three at-bats.
Doosan starter Kwak Bin slowed down a bit. He allowed four hits and two walks while allowing one run on 57 pitches in three innings. Kwak Bin is scheduled to start as the third starter in the opening rotation. Kwak Bin smoothly improved his condition from the spring camp. However, just before the exhibition game, the symptoms of gall appeared and took a break, and it is not yet 100%. Choi Joon-ho, a candidate for Doosan's fifth starting pitcher, was sluggish in three runs in one ⅔. In fact, it has been pushed out of the competition.
KIA scored the first run in the top of the third inning. The leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho hit a heavy hit. After Choi Won-joon stepped down with a fly ball to center field, Kim Do-young hit an infield hit in front of the shortstop. With one out and runners on the first and second bases, Na Sung-beom hit a timely hit to bring in Park Chan-ho.
Doosan balanced Park Joon-young's solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Park Joon-young targeted KIA's second pitcher Kim Dae-yu. He hit the sinker right on the second pitch in one ball. Park Joon-young accurately hit the ball that fell well to the low course of the body. He crossed the left-center field and recorded a distance of 120 meters.
KIA regained the lead in the top of the sixth inning. Wisdom got a hit in left-center. Choi Hyung-woo struck out. KIA filled the base with Kim Sun-bin's hit and Kim Tae-gun's walk. With the bases loaded with one out, Lee Woo-sung hit a grounder to third base. It almost ended with a double play leading to 5-4-3. He was declared out at first base, but was corrected to safe after video reading. Third base runner Hong Jong-pyo's score was recognized. Park Chan-ho's well-hit ball on the first and third bases with two outs failed to score additional points due to the third baseman's good defense.
