KIA Tigers, which have lost three consecutive games, have changed their position as head coaches.

KIA announced on the 29th that Son Seung-rak (second division) will be replaced as the first division head coach ahead of the match against Kiwoom in Gwangju. Coach Sohn will join the first team from this day to assist coach Lee Bum-ho.

Coach Sohn, who began his leadership career as a KIA power reinforcement coordinator in 2022, has been focusing on fostering as KIA Futures coach the following year. As a closing pitcher representing the league during his active career, he was evaluated to have made achievements in fostering pitchers.




Jin Gap-yong, the head coach of the first team, will take the helm of the Futures team. Starting with Softbank Hawks' second-tier battery coach, Jin, who served as Samsung's first-tier battery coach, moved to KIA's first-tier battery coach in 2021 and took over the head coach position from 2022.
