KT Wiz's new foreign hitter Andrew Stevenson (31) has been registered in the first team. He was immediately listed in the starting lineup.

Ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 6th, KT registered fielder Stephenson and pitcher Bae Je-seong in the first division entry. Ahn Chi-young and Oh Seo-jin were canceled.

KT signed Stephenson. Mel Rojas Jr., who had been together for six seasons (2017-2020, 2024-2025), fell into a slump and eventually chose to break up.




Stevenson was scheduled to join the team on the 6th, but his registration for the first team was unknown. KT manager Lee Kang-chul said before the game on the 5th that he will join for now. However, registration will take time due to the remaining procedures." However, as the administrative process took place quickly, he joined the team and became a first-team entry.

Stevenson is a left-handed, left-handed outfielder who was drafted by the Washington Nationals in 2015 and made his big league debut in 2017. He played in 273 major league games through the Washington and Minnesota Twins and recorded a batting average of 243, eight home runs, 50 RBIs and 55 runs. In the minor league, he hit 289, 58 home runs, 328 RBIs, 469 runs and 201 steals in 770 total games.

Last year, he played for Nippon Ham Fighters in the Japanese professional baseball league, and this year, he played for Triple-A Durham Bulls under the Tampa Bay Rays.

On the plan to utilize Stephenson after joining the team, Lee said, `I think Stephenson is the first hitter for now. After (Kim)Minhyuk is out due to injury, there is no player to hit first. I heard they're quick on their feet and steal bases. In particular, he said he likes to steal bases, but we are fortunate to have such a player."

With the registration of the first team, he was immediately listed as the first hitter. On this day, KT made the starting lineup in the order of Stevenson (center fielder), Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Jang Sung-woo (catcher), Junghoon Lee (left fielder), Hwang Jae-gyun (left fielder), Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), and Kwon Dong-jin (striker).
