'Shock': Even Fall Baseball Manipulation! Top Closer, 18 Alleged Match-Fixing Details Revealed → 'Includes Postseason'
Could even "fall baseball," which determines the postseason champion beyond the regular season, have become prey for black money? A match-fixing scandal involving a top-tier MLB closer has shaken the baseball world as specific indictment details were revealed.

'Taiwan was also surprised': South Korea's starter for the China game is not Hanwha's Wang Yencheng, but an unknown 20-year-old right-hander from industrial baseball... facing off against Kwak Bin [Aichi Nagoya AG]
Taiwan, South Korea's first opponent in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, has played a card that defied everyone's expectations. Instead of Wang Yencheng (25, Hanwha Eagles), who has faced Korean batters in the KBO League, right-hander Lin Yi-wei (20), with no professional career and a background in industrial baseball, will start against South Korea. South Korea, led by manager Ryu Ji-hyun (55), will face Taiwan in the first Group B match of the tournament's baseball preliminary round at Okaza
