William Cuevas is a "long-lived foreigner" who represents the KBO League. He has been with the Wizards for seven years since 2019. His presence in the club is as unique as he has been with them. Club officials regard him as a "franchise star." Rookie players even call him a "brother" after taking their first steps on the professional stage. The coach, who shared moments of joy, sorrow and pleasure, also has deep affection for Cuevas.토토사이트
 
KT manager Lee Kang-chul, who met Cuevas during the upcoming spring camp at Geelong Baseball Center in Australia on Monday, said, "It's fascinating to look back. We have had many experiences together. I used to cry and laugh, and sometimes get scolded severely," but added, "I have come this far. I think we are destined for each other." Cuevas is also in his seventh season in the KBO, where he played in 131 games, posting 52 wins and 35 losses with an earned run average of 3.74 (79 earned runs in 774 innings). "He is a particularly strong player in big games," Lee said.
 
Among them, his performance at the time of the combined championship in 2021 was by far the best. For example, he led his team to victory by pitching seven innings, 99 pitches, eight strikeouts, and no runs against Samsung at the tiebreaker game, which ranks first in the regular league on Oct. 31. It was hard to believe that he was a pitcher who threw 108 pitches two days ago. Fans saw him nicknamed him "Cuevas + Choi Dong-won," recalling the late Korean baseball legend Choi Dong-won.
 
Lee, who recalled the tiebreaker's memory, also said, "Cuevas has caught every important game." He also pointed out that the 2024 season played an important role in the watershed of the fight for the fifth place. In an away game against the Hanwha Eagles held in Daejeon on Aug. 31 last year, he pitched six innings with nine strikeouts and one run, driving his team's 6-2 victory. Lee, who emphasized his pitching again at the time, praised his team for playing a big role in allowing him to go to the fall baseball league.
 
Meanwhile, Cuevas plans to take charge of KT's powerful starting lineup this season along with Enmanuel de Heysus, Ko Young-pyo, Oh Won-seok, and So Hyung-joon. Through this camp, Cuevas is focusing on maintaining optimal physical condition without injury.
