KT Wiz's new foreign pitcher Caleb Boschley (33) made a good impression by throwing a fast ball that was controlled even though he threw it slightly.

Boschley played live pitching against the batter at the 2026 KT Spring Camp in Geelong, Australia on the 12th (Korea Standard Time).

He threw a total of 21 pitches, experimenting with various pitches such as four-seam fastballs, two-seam fastballs, cutters, curves, and changeups. Je Chun-mo (44), KT's first-team pitching coach, who watched this, said, "I pitched with about 80% of my body raised to check the ball's pitching against the batter," adding, "He is a smart pitcher who can pitch exactly where he wants because he has good command."

Another impressive thing is that he threw a fast ball close to his maximum speed even though it was still early February. According to the KT club, Boschley's average fastball speed reached 146 kilometers per hour and a maximum of 148 kilometers. According to the KT club, Boschley is a player who shows excellent game management with a fastball of up to 152km/h and various breaking balls such as cutters, sliders, curves, and changeups. KT manager Lee Kang-chul (60), who wanted a foreign pitcher, seems to be smiling.

KT, which failed to advance to the postseason for the first time in six years last year, replaced all foreign pitchers. Unlike Matt Sauer (27), who presses with fastballs, and Kouki Sugimoto (26) in the Asian quarter, Boschley is classified as a stable second starter type. However, the competition for aces should be considered just the beginning, as foreign pitchers, who have been evaluated as second starters, are soon to play the role of an ace.

Boschley said, "I was going to throw it lightly and gently, but it was as strong as I wanted. In particular, I am satisfied that I threw healthy without being sick," he said. "I understand that it is difficult to increase the out count against KBO hitters. I want to trust the fielders' defense and pitch aggressively and deal with KBO hitters," he said.
