"The number of turns in the curve is the same as that of the major leagues."

This is why KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-chul predicted Won Sang-hyun. Coach Lee Kang-chul already knew Won Sang-hyun would be big after seeing one curve.

Won Sang-hyun achieved 10 holds right away in his second year of debut. He proved his ability and coach Lee Kang-chul's perspective at the same time. The 'Joker' engraved on his glove stood out even more powerfully.




Won Sang-hyun pitched one scoreless inning against the Lotte Giants in the 2025 KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th. Won Sang-hyun cleared the top of the eighth inning with an 11-8 lead without a run. Harvested his 10th hold of the season.

This is a great achievement in my second year as a professional. Won Sang-hyun was a top prospect in the 7th overall rookie draft in 2024. Last year, he played in 22 games between starting and relocating. He left an ordinary performance of 2-5 with a 7.03 ERA. This year, he won a must-win group, and he has already held 10 holes. observe with a 3.16 ERA in 36 games and 37 innings.

Manager Lee Kang-chul admired Won Sang-hyun's curve and turned it into relief. The rotation speed of Won Sang-hyun's curve was at the level of Major League Baseball. Manager Lee Kang-chul said at the beginning of the season, `I thought Won Sang-hyun's curve would work for one inning. The fastball was originally good. But unexpectedly, the change-up has also improved. It will be better in the future."

Won Sang-hyun has become a key member of the KT must-win group. Won Sang-hyun drew the infamous character Joker from the movie Batman on his glove. He expressed his hope that he would be afraid of himself.

Won Won-hyun said, `It's like a dream and I can't believe that I recorded a double-digit hold two years after my debut. Thanks to the lead of (Jang) Sung-woo, I was able to trust and follow it well, and I think I followed good results."

We need to move towards the next goal.




Won Sang-hyun "Now the second goal is 20 holds. I want to take responsibility for the waist of the team and consistently show good performances, he vowed.

Then "My condition was a little down these days, but the coaches, including the coach, took care of me and told me a lot to control my mind, so I was able to cheer up." I really appreciate it."
