Cuevas 100% win rate + 2G, 26 points explosion’

KT won 9-2 in the home game against Hanwha in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 8th. KT, which had won 17-0 the previous day, achieved two consecutive wins, bringing its season record to 78 wins, 3 draws, and 62 losses. KT's 600th win. With one game left in the regular season, KT has a winning percentage of 0.557, and if 3rd place NC Dinos and 4th place Doosan Bears add one loss, they will secure 2nd place. On the other hand, Hanwha, which suffered four consecutive losses, has 56 wins, 6 draws, and 77 losses.

On this day, starting pitcher William Cuevas earned his 12th win of the season with a pitching pitch of 6 innings, 2 hits, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts, and no runs. Cuevas, who played in 18 games this season, recorded 12 wins without a single loss, achieving a ‘100% win rate’. The records for the highest winning percentage (100%) in the previous season were Oh Bong-ok (Samsung) in 1992 and Kim Hyun-wook (Samsung) in 2002, and Cuevas was the first to achieve a 100% winning percentage by starting all games.

Hanwha starting lineup: Myung-ki Lee (designated hitter), Hyun-bin Moon (second baseman), Williams (left fielder), In-hwan Kim (first baseman), Gwang-min Kwon (center fielder), Jin-young Lee (right fielder), Jeong-hyeon Park (third baseman), Do-yoon Lee (shortstop), Jae-hoon Choi (catcher). Starting pitcher Nam Ji-min.

In the top of the first inning, KT took the lead in the bottom of the first inning after Hanwha retired with Cuevas' Lee Myung-ki strikeout, Moon Hyun-bin's grounder to second baseman, and Nick Williams' straight hit to third baseman. Hanwha starting pitcher Nam Ji-min's opponent, Kim Sang-soo, got on base with a walk, and after Hwang Jae-gyun's heavy hit, Anthony Alford's fly ball put runners on 1st and 3rd with one out. Kim Sang-soo homered on Park Byeong-ho's sacrifice fly to take a 1-0 lead. At 1st and 3rd base, where Jang Seong-woo's hit to right field continued, Cho Yong-ho hit a fly ball and no additional points were scored.

Hanwha had a chance to score in the top of the second inning, but could not convert it into a score. Leader Kim In-hwan walked with a straight walk, and after one out, Jin-young Lee's double to left gave the runners a chance to put runners on second and third base, but the inning ended when Park Jeong-hyeon and Lee Do-yoon were caught with a fly ball to second base and a grounder to first base, respectively. In the bottom of the second inning, KT's lead Bae Jeong-dae hit a double to left and advanced to third base on a ground ball, but KT also failed to score an additional point.

In the top of the third inning, Hanwha had no bases other than Lee Myung-ki's hit to right, and KT increased the score by scoring one more run in the bottom of the third inning. Leader Hwang Jae-gyun advanced to second base due to an error by the second baseman after a hit to left, and Park Byeong-ho's timely hit made it 2-0. After the pitcher was changed from Nam Ji-min to Kim Kyu-yeon, the inning ended with Park Kyung-soo striking out in a bases-loaded chance created by pitcher's wild pitch and walks by Jang Seong-woo and Bae Jeong-dae.

While Hanwha was tied up by Cuevas, KT took a two-run lead in the bottom of the sixth inning thanks to back-to-back hits by Jung Woo-ram's Alford and Park Byeong-ho, Jang Seong-woo's timely hit, and Bae Jeong-dae's sacrifice fly. The score is 8-0. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Ryu Won-seok's opponent, Kang Hyun-woo, who was making his first appearance for the first team after transferring to Hanwha, got on base with a pitch hit by his body, advanced on base hitter Lee Ho-yeon's grounder and wild pitch, and ended up with Ahn Chi-young's hit to right, increasing the score to 9-0.

Hanwha did not score until the top of the 8th inning. With Cuevas coming down, Kim Young-hyun's opponent Chae Eun-seong, who was on the mound, got on base due to a pitcher's error, and Lee Myung-gi and Moon Hyun-bin's consecutive hits gave them a chance to load the bases with one out. Williams then succeeded in pushing the team out by getting a walk at the end of the 9-pitch game, breaking the scoreless streak of 21 consecutive innings that had continued since the SSG game on the 6th. Afterwards, Kim In-Hwan also walked and pushed out one more runner, making the score 2-9. However, no additional points were scored, and KT ended the game by scoring Kim Jeong-woon in the top of the 9th inning.
