KT has Oh Won-seok, a left-handed starting prospect with a national team experience. KT will be able to achieve its thirst to some extent by recruiting Oh Won-seok as a left-hander. KT's general manager Na Do-hyun said, `Oh Won-seok has abundant starting and bullpen experience for his age, and he has good pitching as a left-hander. He is the type of pitcher the team needs, and has been recruited to strengthen the starting lineup" expressed anticipation.

SSG explained the background, `We were looking for an immediate power pitcher with experience in starting and bullpen to strengthen the competitiveness of the team's pitchers, but we had to trade with KT because our interests did not match.'
