"Let's see each other later if we have a chance."

Lachlan Wells (28, Keum Heroes) pitched 'Goodbye Pitching' against the Gocheok Lotte Giants on the 22nd. Wells, who signed a six-week contract with Kiwoom on behalf of Kenny Rosenberg, expired on the 23rd.

Kiwoom offered 'extended contract', but Wells refused due to personal reasons. With Rosenberg's injury also prolonged, Kiwoom is looking for other outsiders with a complete replacement.




Wells did his bit and left. He went 1-1 with a 3.15 ERA in four games. In the game against Lotte on the 22nd, which was his last appearance, he pitched quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) with five hits, four walks, four strikeouts, and three runs (two earned runs).

Kiwoom won 6-3 with Wells' pitching. It is also the first victory for acting coach Seol Jong-jin, who took the temporary helm after Hong Won-ki was dismissed on the 14th.

Acting Seol said "It is more meaningful that we won our first home victory in the second half rather than our debut victory."




Wells threw 106 pitches in the final pitching. With two walks in the sixth inning, he recorded 99 pitches. He was able to end the inning by striking out after seven pitches against Jeon Min-jae.

Acting Seol said, "I was going to go over the 100th pitch and only hit the last 9th batter and change it if I survive. He said, "I got a strikeout, so I didn't have any worries."

Wells greeted the team with a 'beauty of the end'. Acting Lunar New Year congratulated him. If I have a chance to see you later, I said, "I'll see you later."

The alternative foreigners for Wells have not yet been determined. Kiwoom is trying to figure it out" he said.

As for the starting position for Wells, Seol said, `I'm thinking of Kim Yoon-ha, who played full-time in the first half of the year" he said.

Kim Yoon-ha, who wore a Kiwoom uniform in the first round of the 2024 rookie draft (9th overall), lost 10 games and had a 6.31 ERA in 15 games this season. There were many unfortunate defeats due to the bad beat of the batters. Receiving the second half opportunity again gave him the opportunity to try for his first win of the season.
