(Sports Seoul | Choi Seung -seop) KT Wiz’s multiplayer Kang Baek -ho revealed his presence as a home run in the plate one day after playing one inning as a pitcher.

Kang Baek -ho attracted attention as an unexpected pitcher in the match against LG Twins held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on July 31.

At the end of the eighth, the team was 0-16, and the strategy of minimizing the bullpen consumption, Kang Baek-ho climbed to the mound as the sixth pitcher, leaving three innings, three hits (one home run), one walk, one strikeout, and two runs. The highest fastball restraint was 144 km.

Kang Baek -ho’s pitcher is the second time since his professional debut. Kang Baek -ho, who played as a pitcher during Seoul High School, threw the ball in terms of fan service in the final game of the 2019 regular season when the team failed to enter the postseason.

On August 1, the next day, Kang Baek -ho started as a nominated batter in the NC Dinos match held at Changwon NC Park.

In the first at -bat, he was only a shortstop fly, but in the second at -bat, he hits the 22 at -bats and broke the long hitting silence.

In the fifth episode, after returning to injury, he was the first home run and the season 8 arch, shooting a rebound signal. The home run was recorded in 12 games after Kiwoom Heroes on May 24.

Kang Baek -ho missed an ankle ligament rupture at the end of May for about eight weeks and suffered a slump after returning.

However, he added a valuable home run gun in the NC match, raising expectations for the rest of the season.

As you get a FA qualification after the end of the season, the focus is on whether the concentration and rebound shown in the recent game can be re -evaluated in the FA market. thunder@sportsseoul.com
