Logan Allen (29), who played for NC Dinos last year, has returned to the Korean KBO League.

KT announced on the 12th, "We have signed Logan as a foreign pitcher to replace Caleb Boesl. The contract is a total of $125,000 for six weeks. Logan is scheduled to arrive in Korea on the 14th."

Boesl felt pain in his right shoulder while pitching in the bullpen on the 2nd. KT had expected him to return in about ten days after being excluded from the first-division roster. However, a checkup on the 8th revealed damage to his shoulder muscles, making a long-term absence inevitable.

Logan is familiar to Korean baseball fans as he wore the NC uniform last year. Last year with NC, Logan recorded 32 games, 7 wins, 12 losses, an ERA of 4.53, 173 innings, and 149 strikeouts.

He struggled to handle innings in the second half of the season and ultimately returned to the United States without a contract renewal. This year, he played for the Canadian national team in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March and signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he played alongside Kim Hye-seong (27).

Logan recorded 12 games, 2 wins, 4 losses, an ERA of 6.08, 53⅓ innings, and 36 strikeouts in Triple-A this year. However, rumors of his return to Korea spread after he suddenly followed the official KT Wiz SNS account and news of his release was reported.

KT General Manager Na Do-hyun stated, "Logan is a pitcher who consistently handled the starting rotation in the KBO League last season and has adapted to the league. Based on his experience and stable control, we expect him to fill Boesl's vacancy well."
