"The fielders don't have a problem if they go straight into the opening."

Doosan Bears manager Kim Won-hyung (54) expressed satisfaction with the batters' condition ahead of the KBO League exhibition game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 23rd. On the mound, there is still homework to select four to five starters, but regarding the fielders, he said, "There is no problem with his physical condition and he generally has a good pace."

As the head coach said, Doosan hitters showed off their fierce firepower from the beginning of the game. On the same day, Doosan excluded key fielders such as foreign batter Cameron (right wing), Park Chan-ho (striker), and Jung Soo-bin (midfielder) from the starting lineup. Nevertheless, he blasted the KT mound with 15 hits and won 12-7, wiping out the disappointment of the scoreless (0-0 draw) against Jamsil KIA the previous day.

Doosan first scored two runs against KT starter Moon Yong-ik with Yang Eui-ji's double in the first inning with one out and runners on the second and third bases. In the top of the second inning, he added four more runs to lead 6-0 by concentrating five hits, including three consecutive hits by Park Ji-hoon, Cho Soo-haeng, and Lee Yoo-chan, and two consecutive doubles by Park Joon-soon and Kang Seung-ho.

In the top of the fifth inning, the batters' concentration was outstanding. After Ahn Jae-seok's double with one out, Yang Seok-hwan's RBI left-handed hit came out, and Lee Yoo-chan hit a three-run double to left-center in the ensuing bases-loaded chance. Park Joon-soon and Kang Seung-ho also added timely hits to make a six-point big inning, widening the score to 12-0.

Lee Yoo-chan played with two hits and five RBIs in three at-bats, Kang Seung-ho had two RBIs with three doubles, and Park Joon-soon had two hits, two RBIs and two runs.

On the mound, starting pitcher Kwak Bin showed off his ace's prowess. Kwak Bin, who took the mound in an exhibition game for the first time since participating in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), threw 62 pitches in four innings, allowing three hits and no runs, striking out as many as nine. fastball has a maximum speed of 155 km/h. In particular, he struck out both key batters Kim Hyun-soo and Hilliard, respectively, and in the third and fourth innings, he struck out four consecutive batters Choi Won-joon, Kim Hyun-soo, Ahn Hyun-min and Hilliard.

KT's pitching staff collapsed from the beginning, and center batters Kim Hyun-soo, Ahn Hyun-min, and Hilliard remained hitless in the lineup. After scoring the first run with Oh Yoon-seok's timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning, Ryu Hyun-in's pushy walk and Yoo Jun-kyu's two-run double in the bottom of the ninth inning, trailing 3-12, made up for four runs. Yoo Jun-kyu played with three hits and three RBIs, and high school rookie Lee Kang-min came out as the starting shortstop again on the day and had three hits and one RBI.
