Where are the players who have been good as the main players.

KT Wiz is facing an era of great revolution.

KT is undergoing a major team reorganization this offseason.

First, Kim Hyun-soo, Choi Won-joon and Han Seung-taek were brought from the FA market. All three of them have to play as the main players right away, and they are players who can threaten their starting positions.

And I changed all the foreign players. Two pitchers Matt Sauer and Caleb Boschley picked Sam Hilliard as new foreign hitters on the 4th. All of them are high-quality players with major league experience.

As a result, the outline of next season's main players is seen to some extent. Let's look at the outfield first. Ahn Hyun-min, a monster who appeared like a comet this year, is fixed in right field. The center fielder must use Choi Won-joon unconditionally. He paid 4.8 billion won to bring it back. Kim Hyun-soo, who has a full guarantee of 5 billion won, should also be considered the main left fielder.

Kim Min-hyuk and Bae Jeong-dae, who led the team to the unified championship in the outfield for years, suddenly lost their seats. Kim Min-hyuk has the best contact ability in the league, but he has the disadvantage of being too weak in defense. On the contrary, Bae Jeong-dae said, "The center fielder defense is a talent that anyone would covet, but the hitting has hampered it.

The variable is that Kim Hyun-soo is old, making it difficult to digest full-time. It is also a competition to fill that empty spot. The scary thing is that Hilliard, a new foreign hitter, can play both first base and outfield.

First of all, KT is considering Hilliard as the main first baseman. Foreign hitters are fixed unless they are really extremely sluggish. If this happens, the position of FA Hwang Jae-kyun, who is seeking to remain at KT, will inevitably be further narrowed. The same goes for Moon Sang-chul. When Hilliard says he goes to the outfield when Kim Hyun-soo is out as a designated hitter, he has a chance then. Then there will be no seats for Kim Min-hyuk and Bae Jeong-dae. It is a breathtaking situation for existing players.

The same goes for the catcher. FA Jang Sung-woo will have no problem if he stays, but the opportunities for backup players such as Kang Hyun-woo and Cho Dae-hyun will inevitably decrease rapidly.
