Ulsan Wales, the only civic club in the KBO League, finally won four consecutive games with its historic first win at home, continuing its scary rise at the beginning of the league.

Ulsan Wales started in the first game of the season against the KIA Tigers of the 2026 KBO Futures regular league at Munsu Baseball Stadium in Ulsan on the 28th and won 4-2 with Taisei's hard pitching and the concentration of the batters. With this, Ulsan Wales won its first home game since its foundation and achieved a four-game winning streak.

The first contributor to the victory was starting pitcher Taisei Naga. Naga Taisei pitched quality start plus (QS+) against KIA's batting line in seven innings, giving up only two runs. Showing his stable control and operation ability, he was honored as his first win of the season and his team's first winning pitcher at home.

Veteran Ko Hyo-joon, who then took the mound, recorded his first hold at home by blocking the first ⅔ inning perfectly, and Kim Do-kyu, who took the mound as the closing pitcher, finished the game and made his first home save.

A milestone was also created in the game. Ko Hyo-joon, born on February 9, 1983, took the mound at the age of 43 years, 1 month, and 20 days, once again breaking his record of oldest business trip and hold in the Futures League.

This is only six days away from the record of Song Jin-woo (former Hanwha, 43 years, 1 month, 26 days), the oldest player in the KBO's first division. Ko Hyo-joon's fighting spirit goes beyond the team's victory and adds a heavy presence to the new club Ulsan Wales.

Noh Kang-min's performance was outstanding in the lineup. Noh Kang-min opened the team's offense by swinging three hits, and Ye Jin-won also contributed decisively to each team's outcome by contributing multi-hits (two hits).

Ulsan Wales is creating a new sensation in the league based on the stable harmony of the pitching and the old and new harmony of the veteran's record and the spirit of the newcomers. Baseball fans are excited about how far this momentum can continue.
