From 10th place to 2nd place... Kt's magical "Quantum Jump"

It's been a magical season for kt. KT has struggled since the beginning of the season, moving around the bottom. It also ranked last for 19 consecutive days from May 7 to 25. However, it rebounded quickly from June 16 when William Cuevas joined. He increased his monthly winning rate from 9th place (0.375) to 1st place (0.652) in June. Since then, he has steadily increased his winning rate and ended his final performance unchanged since he ranked second on August 19.

Meanwhile, Cuevas recorded the third winning percentage of all time with 12 wins and no losses, confirming the 'KBO Win Rate Award' for the first time in the league with only a starting win without a loss.

Lotte, the third team in KBO League history, no hit, no run

With the slogan "THE POWER OF ONE," Lotte Giants completed the team's no-hitter against Sajik SSG on August 6. It was the first time since the team was founded and the third time in KBO league history. In the flow from starting pitcher Wilkerson to must-win group Koo Seung-min and Kim Won-joong, he did not give up a single hit and allowed only two walks, showing a near-perfect pitch.

Hanwha records most points after 2 outs

On July 25, the Hanwha Eagles set a new record (11 points) for the most points after two outs in the eighth inning against Kiwoom at Gocheok. The previous record was 10 points, a total of five times from OB in 1985 to Samsung in 2019. On this day, Hanwha's batters beat Kiwoom 16-6 by making a tie for second place in the league's most at-bats (18 at-bats) and a tie for second place in the most runs (13 points) in an inning.

'First time in 37 years' NC Peddy, individual 20 wins-200 strikeouts, milestone

A player who achieved 20 wins and 200 strikeouts in 37 years was born. NC Peddy made a milestone of 20 wins-200 strikeouts in 37 years following Sun Dong-yeol in 1986 in Changwon Hanwha on October 10. Peddy, who entered the KBO League for the first time this year, pitched well in every game he took the mound and provided strong support for NC's top leap forward. Peddy ended the season record with 20 wins-209 strikeouts and a 2.00 ERA, booking a triple crown for pitchers at the 2023 KBO Awards.

Hanwha Jung Woo-ram, the epitome of steadiness, will play in 1,000 games for the first time as a pitcher

Hanwha Jung Woo-ram played against Daejeon NC on October 2 and was named the first pitcher to play in 1,000 KBO league games. Jung Woo-ram, who joined SK in 2004 and took the mound for the first time on April 21 of the same year, was the youngest to play in 500 games in 2012, and has achieved 600, 700, 800, and 900 games.

Oh Seung-hwan of Samsung 'finished' the season with 400 saves

On October 14, the last home game of the Samsung Lions' 2023 season against Daegu SSG, Oh Seung-hwan built a golden tower of 400 saves. Starting with 100 saves achieved in 2007, Oh Seung-hwan, who has accumulated records in the saving categories of 200 and 300 saves, set a milestone of achieving 400 saves in 668 games as a professional. Oh Seung-hwan, who "finished" this season easily even at an age over the age of uncertainty, left a big mark in KBO league history.

'New record' - KIA Choi Hyung-woo's double, RBI and SSG Choi Jung score

The KBO League's double, RBI, and scoring records were rewritten. Choi Hyung-woo of the KIA Tigers hit his 465th career double against Samsung in Gwangju on April 23. In the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on June 20, he set a new record in two categories with 1,500 RBIs along with a two-run home run that hit the first pitch in the fourth inning. SSG Choi Jung set a new record in this category by completing an individual 1356 points in Daejeon, where the match against Hanwha took place on September 6. Former Samsung Lions pitcher Lee Seung-yeop holds previous records for doubles, RBIs and runs scored.

Noh Soo-kwang of Hanwha, 8th RBI in history, 2 RBIs

Two runners entered the home with one sacrifice fly, creating the eighth real record in KBO league history. Hanwha Noh Soo-kwang's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning against Doosan in Daejeon on April 19 made two RBIs and became the winning hit. The record was held by only seven people, following former Haetae Jung Hoe-yeol and former Samsung Choi Hae-myung. Noh Soo-kwang is the eighth player in history and the third player from Hanwha to be listed on the joyous and sad two-run record.

Meanwhile, the fall baseball festival will be held starting with the first game of the wild card decision between the Doosan Bears (5th) and the NC Dinos (4th) at Changwon NC Park on the 19th. Doosan predicted Kwak Bin and NC predicted Tanner Turley as starting pitchers in Game 1. With SSG, NC, and Doosan fiercely competing for third place until the end of the season, SSG laughed as it secured direct tickets to the semi-playoff in third place. 토토사이트
