Woo Kyu-min, the oldest pitcher to appear in a Korean Series game, took the mound in the top of the 12th inning during Game 2 of the 2026 KBO League Korean Series between the Samsung Lions and the KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 4th, making his Korean Series debut after 23 years.
Although his first appearance in the Korean Series seemed to be going smoothly, errors by the fielders failed to maintain the momentum.
Woo Kyu-min entered the game in a top-of-the-12th-inning jam with one out and runners on first and second base, inducing Lee Jae-hyun to hit a grounder that could have resulted in a double play. However, Oh Yoon-seok fumbled the ball while attempting to field it, throwing a wild throw to first base, allowing Samsung to score. Kim Hyun-soo failed to retrieve the batted ball immediately, enabling Diaz, who has slow speed on the basepaths, to reach home plate and score.
The sight of Woo Kyu-min, befitting his veteran status, shouting "Just hit it!" at Oh Yoon-seok, who hung his head in disappointment, also drew attention.
Woo Kyu-min set the record for the oldest pitcher to appear in a Korean Series game. He surpassed Im Chang-yong (KIA)'s previous record of 41 years, 4 months, and 25 days with an age of 41 years, 9 months, and 14 days.
Had KT secured the winning momentum in the bottom of the 12th inning without allowing runs due to fielding errors, Woo Kyu-min could have decorated his Korean Series debut after 23 years with a victory. However, the god of baseball was cruel.
It is highly anticipated what kind of performance and result Woo Kyu-min will achieve in his second appearance.
