Foreign players in the KBO League are usually treated as 'arrival'. In most cases, they are reluctant to interfere with the team by strictly adhering to their own routines.

So it's very rare for a foreign pitcher to throw as a starter and then throw in the middle and then go back and forth. Even if you carefully consult your doctor about whether you can take the mound in the bullpen, the answer 'NO' will come back.

However, it is common in KT Wiz. Cuevas or Despaigne from Latin America, who had strong personality in the past, also did not hesitate to go to the bullpen.

KT manager Lee Kang-chul is considered a master of pitcher management, especially famous for getting along well with foreign pitchers.

This year, Heyesus and Patrick sympathize with the team's difficult situation at the end of the season and are not reluctant to do bad things.

Heysus will play as an intermediate pitcher against SSG Landers in the 2025 KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 26th. Heysus will start against NC on the 30th after a three-day break.

Heysus has already been waiting for the bullpen since the game on the 25th. On this day, KT scored 10 points, so Heyesus did not have to be dispatched.

Patrick, who started well on the 25th, is expected to go to the bullpen for the rest of the game. Patrick has already made four relief appearances. KT selected Heyesus, Sohyeong-joon and Ko Young-pyo as starting pitchers in the remaining three games.

Head coach Lee Kang-chul `I'm going to persuade Patrick well and ask for the middle from the NC match. If that happens, I think I'll have some time to spare. Our middle pitchers are exhausted. Patrick's one inning in the sixth or seventh inning will help greatly in the current situation. I thought it would be okay if I throw one inning with that ball yesterday."
