'Asia Quota Only for Bullpen': Why Replace Manager Lee Kang-cheol? Despite Losing Two National Team Starters, He Stands Firm: "If We Continue This Way, Young Players Will Have No Room to Play"
KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-cheol (60) has expressed caution regarding the use of 'starting Asia quota' players, even amid gaps in the starting rotation caused by national team call-ups. This is to protect Korean baseball prospects. Ahead of the Jamsil LG Twins game on the 19th, Manager Lee emphasized the importance of starting pitchers: "It's difficult with only two starters. If we play without starters and rely on the bullpen from the third inning every day, what happens? Ultimately, starters must
'Big Break' KIA's Kim Do-young: "He's doing much better than I did in my second year," directly praising the '20-year-old player' as amazing
"He's doing much better than I did in my second year." These words came directly from Kim Do-young (23), a superstar of Korean baseball. The player he acknowledged is none other than Park Jae-hyun (20), a KIA outfielder in his second professional season, who is three years younger than Kim Do-young. On the 19th, KIA secured a 6-3 victory over Hanwha in an away regular-season game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark. With this win, KIA surged to four consecutiv
'Tightly tied up' Son Heung-min receives harsh 6.1 rating, only one shot 'another poor performance'... 'No solution in sight' for LAFC
It seems there is simply no solution. Son Heung-min's (34) team, Los Angeles FC (LAFC), has fallen into a serious slump in its performance. On the 20th at 10:30 a.m. (Korean time), LAFC lost 0-1 in an away match of the 2026 U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season held at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Colorado. LAFC's recent form is nothing short of a total crisis. After suffering the humiliation of being eliminated from the group stage of the Leagues Cup, the team recorded back-to-back 0-1
'Lee Jung-hoo, refreshed and different' Lee Jung-hoo gets another hit, batting average rises to 0.294 '300 mark in sight'... Team wins 1-0 [SF Review]
Rest proved to be the best medicine. Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) hit a long ball in his first game in six days, raising expectations for a return to a .300 batting average. On the 20th (Korean time), Lee Jung-hoo started as the cleanup hitter and right fielder against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, recording two hits in four at-bats. As a result, his season batting average rose from 0.292 to 0.294 (129 hits in 439 at-bats). His on-base percentage and
'How did I get this chance?' Song Sung-moon, why a clutch error on his first... Could Boggs' hamstring injury be the opportunity?
Song Sung-moon (30, San Diego Padres), who continues to fight for survival in Major League Baseball (MLB), made a starting appearance but left fans disappointed by committing his first error since his MLB debut. On the 20th (Korea time), Song started at third base and batted ninth in an away game against the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York, USA, going hitless in three at-bats. Although he has mostly entered games as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement in the later innings, limiting h
