KT Wiz Kang Baek-ho has occupied the official Major League website 'Center'.

MLB.COM on the 5th (Korea time) explored prospects in professional baseball in Japan (NPB) and Korea (KBO) by highlighting the international FA market. Kang Baek-ho drew attention as he took the center of the representative image.

MLB.COM introduced NPB and KBO League players who may play in the major leagues in 2026.




In the NPB, eight people, including Yomiuri Giants slugger Kazuma Okamoto, were listed. In addition to Kang Baek-ho, Song Sung-moon (Kium), Cody Ponce (Hanwha), Drew Anderson (SSG), Lewin Diaz (Samsung), and Ariel Furado (Samsung) were mentioned in the KBO League.

MLB.COM classified Kang Baek-ho as a designated hitter and catcher.

MLB.COM reported that `left-handed hitter Kang Baek-ho was one of the best long hitters in Korea from 2018 to 2021. Since then, productivity has declined due to injuries, but this season, he has recorded an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.825'




Then 'Kang Baek-ho also experienced limited catcher experience in the KBO League. If the Major League club considers Kang Baek-ho as the third catcher, there is a possibility of signing a contract.

Kang Baek-ho is already considered the biggest fish in the stove league this winter. It is already widely expected that the ransom will reach 10 billion won. If interest in the Major League is added, it is impossible to estimate how large the contract will become.

Song Sung-moon is not an FA, but you can apply for posting. MLB.COM said 'Kium generally accepts posting in the past when looking at the case of Kim Ha-sung, Lee Jung-hoo, and Kim Hye-sung. Song Sung-moon is one of the best third basemen in the KBO. He expected to achieve the most home runs (26) this year with a career high OPS of .917.

Ponce and Diaz, candidates for the 2025 KBO League MVP, were also included.

MLB.COM, however, gave them a stingy evaluation. Regarding Ponce, he pointed out that `You can sign a starting pitcher in the Major League, but if you remain an ace in Korea, you can get a bigger amount.' Diaz also predicted that `he may return to the Major League, but he will be guaranteed a larger amount in the KBO.'
