KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul strengthened his will to open the game against the Hanwha Eagles.
KT will play the opening game of the 2025 season against Hanwha at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd. KT will start Heyesus, who played for the Kiwoom Heroes last season. Hanwha confronts Ryu Hyun-jin with a new foreign ace, Ponce.
When KT met Hanwha last season, it went back and forth between heaven and hell. Repeat the sweep. He seemed to be losing ground to Hanwha, but at an important moment, he succeeded in sweeping against Hanwha and revived.
In the meantime, it is burdensome to meet foreign pitcher Ponce, who was highly praised in spring camp and exhibition games, in the opening game. Manager Lee praised Ponce's pitching during the exhibition game. Coach Lee, who met ahead of the opening game, said, `We still have to overcome it. He's a good pitcher. But our Heysus is also great. I think it's a battle of conditions between the two pitchers. A game where you can't help but be nervous."
In fact, Hanwha was expected to start Ryu Hyun-jin's opening game like a symbol, but manager Kim Kyung-moon chose Ponce with good pitching. The director expected a `Ponce. It was the flow of the opening game. It was a pitch that I couldn't help but use. He praised the opposing pitcher once again.
Manager Lee said of Heyesus, who will face Ponce, `I think about 90 to 95 pitches today."
Meanwhile, KT's Jang Jin-hyuk, who was brought as a compensation player from Hanwha ahead of the opening, left the opening entry due to a side injury. Director Lee should look at it for about four weeks. It's a shame that we're back-up players like the main players."
He also takes out the card from the opening game of the exhibition game 'Kim Min-hyuk No. 4'. Coach Lee said, `After Kang Baek-ho and Rojas, three players with the best contact skills, Huh Kyung-min, Kim Min-hyuk and Jang Sung-woo will play. For the time being, we plan to push ahead with this lineup."
