Caleb Boshly (33), the new foreign pitcher for KT Wiz, made history by shattering the all-time debut record for foreign pitchers in the KBO League.

Boselli made his first start on the 18th at Suwon KT Wiz Park in a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League, pitching scoreless through three innings and achieving the unprecedented record in KBO League history of 20 consecutive scoreless innings since his debut.

Before the game on this day, Boesl, who had been scoreless for 17 consecutive innings, shut out the top of the first inning without allowing a run, instantly breaking the record for most consecutive scoreless innings by a foreign pitcher after debut, which was 17 innings set by Eric Feddy (then with NC) in 2023.

Boswell's record-breaking streak continued unabated. Boswell showcased his institutional investor capabilities in both the second and third innings, maintaining a scoreless run. Notably, in the top of the third inning, after allowing a one-out, second-base situation through a pitcher's fielder's choice and a sacrifice bunt by Kiwoom's leadoff hitter Song Ji-hoo, he retired subsequent batters Lee Ju-hyung and Park Ju-hong on groundouts to close out the inning.

This allows Boesler to surpass not only the previous foreign player record but also the record for most consecutive scoreless innings after debut (19 2/3 innings) held by Kim In-beom of the Kiwoom Heroes, moving to the top of the all-time KBO League list in this category.

Ahead of this season, Boeschil, who stepped onto Korean soil wearing a KT uniform, has been pitching flawlessly, allowing no earned runs or unearned runs from his first appearance on the 31st against Hanwha (5 innings), followed by games against Samsung (6 innings) and Doosan (6 innings), and continuing through the early stages of today's game. He is already being evaluated as a pitcher displaying the kind of dominance seen with Cody Ponce (32, Toronto Blue Jays) during the 2025 season.

Boesch's gaze now turns to higher goals. 'After his debut', Boesch has climbed to second place all-time in consecutive scoreless innings, challenging the record of 29⅔ innings set by Cho Yong-jun (then with Hyundai) during the 2002 season. At that time, Cho Yong-jun went 29⅔ consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, from the the 5th, 2002, game against Suwon SK through the the 4th, 2002, game against Suwon Samsung.

It remains to be seen how far Bo Shil, who entered the KBO League with overwhelming pitching ability and stable control, will be able to continue the march of '0 '.
