KIA, which won the regular season and the Korean Series last year, will play the opening game of the 2025 season against the NC Dinos at 2 p.m. at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd.
KIA's starting pitcher is James Nail. Nail, who was born in 1993, is a right-hander from the United States recruited by KIA last year. Nail, who recorded 12 wins, 5 losses and a 2.53 ERA in 26 games, continued her performance in the Korean Series and stood tall as a leading player in KIA's integrated championship.
After the end of last season, KIA succeeded in renewing its contract by signing a large contract of up to $1.8 million (down payment of 400,000 dollars, annual salary of 1.2 million, incentive of 200,000) with Nail. Nail, who has been building her body smoothly since the spring camp, pitched in only one game in the exhibition game and recorded three runs in four innings. Manager Lee Bum-ho took out Nail, the most reliable pitcher, as the starting card for the opening game.
