"The goal is fall baseball!"

KT Wiz has failed to play in fall baseball for six consecutive years this season, leaving a regret. However, discovering a new must-win group called Won Sang-hyun is a big income. He is expected to play a must-win role in the 7th and 8th episodes next year with Son Dong-hyun. The two gained international experience in a three-nation friendly match in Taiwan. KT will play a friendly match with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan and the Rakuten Monkeys of Taiwan in Taiwan.

Son Dong-hyun said, `I heard Japanese pitchers are good, but there will be something to learn from watching them throw. Dealing with different types of batters can also be a study. That's how you grow. In fact, the Golden Eagles were not easy."




Won Sang-hyun said, `It's my first time in Taiwan, and it's my first time playing against a Japanese team. I usually like Japanese baseball. I was wondering what the actual level would be like. When he lost no points against the Golden Eagles, the coach said 'Please throw it like this in Korea.'"

The two looked back on this season, which was disappointing. Son Dong-hyun said, `I have never been sick since I was a student, but I have been injured for two consecutive years since last year. The importance of management has been reduced. I did really well this year, but it was so hard to get an injury. When the LG Twins came to the expedition, they said, "I said hello to Kim Jin-sung first and asked him how to strengthen his exercise skills."

Won Sang-hyun, who started the rookie season and changed to a must-win group this year, said "Not long ago, I watched the LA Dodgers Yamamoto and kept my mouth shut. He's gotten over all the excuses I've made so far. I felt a lot", he introduced.




Coach Lee Kang-chul sees the two as key players next year. Son Dong-hyun said, `I'm proud and proud to be a member of KT's pitching staff.' Won Sang-hyun said "It is amazing that Dong-hyun and Park Young-hyun and I are tied together as a must-win group. I'm in a good mood."

As if they had promised on their goals for next season, the two spoke forcefully "Autumn Baseball."
