KT Wiz signed new foreign player Davis Daniel in late July after releasing Matt Sauer, who had posted a 7-5 record. Manager Lee Kang-chul said immediately after the signing that Daniel had been described as similar to Greg Maddux.
They said he was like Maddux.
The manager’s expectation was not that Daniel would be a fireballer, but that he could challenge hitters with steady control. The club is now working to build the confidence of the pitcher it brought in as a potential winner.
They said the answer would come after the third game.
