Professional baseball KT Wiz has completed a contract renewal with foreign pitcher Wes Benjamin (30).

KT announced on the 12th that it had renewed a contract with Benjamin for a total of $1.4 million.

Benjamin, who joined KT as a replacement in 2022, signed his second contract and will be playing his third season at KT.

Benjamin served as a full-time starting pitcher in the KBO League this season. He pitched 160 innings in 29 games, recording 15 wins, 6 losses, and an ERA of 3.54.

He was somewhat sluggish in the first half, but found stability in the second half, and most of all, he consistently provided innings and opened up a path for the team’s pitching staff. 카지노사이트랭크

Benjamin also performed at an ace level in the postseason. He did his part by appearing in 2 playoff games and 1 Korean Series game.

KT general manager Na Do-hyun said, “Benjamin is a left-handed pitcher who has already been proven in the KBO League,” and added, “I hope he will become a mainstay of the starting pitching staff next season as well.”

With this, KT has completed the composition of foreign players for next season. The foreign pitcher re-signed William Cuevas along with Benjamin, and the foreign hitter re-signed Mel Rojas Jr., the 2020 Most Valuable Player (MVP).

Three foreign players, including Benjamin, Cuevas, and Rojas, are scheduled to join the spring camp to be held in Gijang, Busan in February next year. 섯다
