  • Bae Je-seong pitched six scoreless innings for KT Wiz against KIA Tigers, producing his best performance of the season.
  • He outdueled KIA’s foreign ace Oller, who worked 6⅔ innings, but KT lost on a walk-off in extra innings.
  • The performance raised hopes that Bae, once a 10-win pitcher, is returning to form after a 1,079-day wait.

Bae Je-seong delivered the strongest pitching performance of his season, only to see it disappear beneath KIA’s extra-inning walk-off victory.

The KT Wiz starter faced KIA Tigers and their foreign ace Oller at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 4th. Bae worked six scoreless innings and came away with the better of the pitching duel, while Oller lasted 6⅔ innings.

The result offered a glimpse of a revival for Bae, once a 10-win pitcher. But after his dominant outing, KT still suffered a walk-off defeat in extra innings, leaving the 1,079-day wait for his return to form as a subplot to the loss.
