The game against the Doosan Bears was canceled due to snow on the 18th, and kt finished the exhibition game schedule with 6 wins and 1 loss (0.857 winning rate).
It is the third time since 2017 and 2018 that kt ranked first in the exhibition game.
It was followed by the Hanwha Eagles (5 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses, a winning rate of 0.714), while the KIA Tigers (4 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) and the Kiwoom Heroes (6 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses) received a joint third-place report card with a winning rate of 0.667.
Doosan Bears infielder Oh Myung-jin topped the batting average in exhibition games with a batting average of 0.407.
Oh Myung-jin is a player who joined Doosan in 2020 after receiving a second round of sixth-round nomination, and has not hit any hits in only nine games in the first team until last season.
In this exhibition game, he played in nine games with 11 hits and five RBIs in 27 at-bats, booking Doosan's new starting second baseman.
The No. 1 home run in the exhibition game is Kiwoom Heroes outfielder Lee Ju-hyung, who crossed the third fence. Lee Ju-hyung, who was traded to Kiwoom after leaving the LG Twins in 2023, had a batting average of 0.266, 126 hits, 13 homers and 60 RBIs last season.
Kiwoom finished at the bottom with an exhibition game team batting average of 0.216 but hit 13 home runs, heralding a transformation into a "big gun corps."
The Lotte Giants ranked first with 2.06 ERA in the exhibition game. Lotte (73) also ranks first in strikeouts.
Jung Hyun-woo (Kium), Jung Woo-joo (Hanwha Eagles), and Bae Chan-seung (Samsung Lions), who are the first to third place in the overall nomination list for the Rookie of the Year award this season, participated in the exhibition game and experienced the professional stage in advance.
Among them, the most outstanding player was Chung Hyeon-woo, the first designated overall. Chung, the left-hander who was picked as the fourth starting pitcher of Kiwoom, started the game against Lotte on the day and finished the inspection by allowing three hits, two walks, three strikeouts and two runs (one earned run) during four innings. In three exhibition games, Chung played 11 innings, recording two wins and an ERA of 0.82.
Hanwha right-hander Jung Woo-joo, who stands out for his fastballs that easily exceed 150 kilometers per hour, went on the mound three times as a bullpen pitcher and recorded one hold without losing a point in two ⅓.
Samsung left-hander Bae Chan-seung, who left a strong impression at practice games, displayed feverish performance at the exhibition game by allowing three runs during one ⅔ inning. Instead, Bae struck out all out counts, demonstrating his power and pitching.
The KBO League, which exceeded 10 million spectators for the first time in its history last year, also showed off its enthusiasm in this year's exhibition games. The average attendance at this year's exhibition games was 7,661, up 54% from last year's exhibition games (average 4,964). The total number of spectators admitted was 321,763 (42 games), up 41% from 227,329 (46 games) last year.
