That's a great trade. KT Wiz's Oh Won-seok had nine wins (three losses) even before the first half ended. KT also won 40 games. It secured the winning series of three consecutive weekend games.

KT won 4-0 against the Lotte Giants in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 28th.

Starting pitcher Oh Won-seok pitched six scoreless innings. Before the game, Lotte ranked first in the league with a team batting average of 0.285. Oh Won-seok silenced Lotte's batters with just three hits. Oh Won-seok also lowered his ERA from 3.09 to 2.85.

Oh Won-seok is a resource that KT recruited through a counter-trade with SSG last year. I sent Kim Min and got Oh Won-seok. Kim Min has also become a must-winner at SSG. It's a good example of a 'win-win trade'.

KT scored the first run in the top of the first inning. After one out, Kim Min-hyuk hit a heavy hit. Ahn Hyun-min drew a walk. Jang Sung-woo called in Kim Min-hyuk with a left-handed hit.

KT got a valuable extra point in the top of the fifth inning.

KT connected the chance that came after the crisis to a score.
