A highly anticipated baseball showdown between two of the league's top pitchers, Anwoo Jin and Kwak Bin, was unfortunately washed out by rain. The game, set to feature a thrilling duel between pitchers capable of throwing over 160 km/h, was scheduled for the 28th at Jamsil Stadium, pitting the Kiwoom Heroes against the Doosan Bears.

Fans were eager to witness this "dream matchup," which pitted two aces against each other. However, persistent rain began to fall in the afternoon, intensifying significantly by the late afternoon. Despite forecasts suggesting the rain might cease around 7 PM, the conditions on the field, particularly the outfield, became unplayable.

The cancellation is a disappointment for baseball enthusiasts who were looking forward to seeing these two dominant arms compete. Both pitchers are known for their high-velocity fastballs, with Anwoo Jin reportedly reaching 160 km/h and Kwak Bin close behind at 159 km/h, making their potential duel a highlight of the season.
