The opening game of the Korean baseball championship series will see right-handed pitching stars from rival teams face off. KT Wiz and Samsung Lions will battle for supremacy in the best-of-seven series, commencing at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Wiz's home ground, KT Wiz Park in Suwon, located approximately 30 kilometers south of Seoul.
Manager Lee Kang-chul of the Wiz announced Davis Daniel as the starting pitcher for Game 1. Meanwhile, Lions' manager Park Jin-man revealed Choi Won-tae as the Lions' Game 1 starter. Daniel, an American right-hander, joined the Wiz in July to replace the struggling Matt Sauer. He showcased his skills in 10 regular-season starts, compiling a 5-2 record and a commendable 2.13 ERA.
At KT Wiz Park, Daniel's performance was exceptional, going 4-0 with an impressive 1.16 ERA in five outings. The Wiz believe that Daniel's unfamiliarity with the Lions might give them an edge. Despite testing Daniel against the Lions towards the end of the regular season, the Wiz decided against it, opting to allow Daniel to establish himself without the Lions' presence.
