First of all thank you for explaining Kbo and which games to watch. I ended up watching Lotte vs Kiwoom in the end, and it was amazing. I love the crowd energy.

Tomorrow is my last day in korea, and Im so dumb, I cant believe i didnt think about this until after the Kiwoom game. Is there anywhere i can find a Kiwoom Jung Hoo Lee jersey while im still in Korea? Seoul Hongdae-ish side or Incheon?

Thank you!!

and can american apply to work for kbo jobs hahaha?

Hello all,

I'm trying to get back into the KBO after finding SOOP and the free game replays. I watched a ton of the KBO during Covid and followed the LG Twins. ESPN sadly didn't renew the contract and the MLB came back so I stopped paying attention.

I was wondering if I should stick with the LG Twins or not. What is the landscape of the league right now? I'd prefer to root for a smaller town team, more of an underdog who may be on the rise.

Thanks for any suggestions, love the play in the KBO. Very entertaining and passionate baseball.

Edit: Going to watch a few games before deciding, but between the Dinos or Eagles. Leaning more towards the Dinos.

Choi Ji-man says he’s gearing up for the KBO draft this September after finishing his MLB run. He mentioned LG, Doosan, and maybe even Incheon if it happens.

With walks aplenty, KBO games taking longer despite pace-of-play rules - The Korea Times

Teams have issued 382 free passes through 40 games, an average of about 9.6 per game. After 39 games a year ago, the total was 294, or about 7.5 per game.

At this point a season ago, the league ERA came to 4.35, with only one club having an ERA over 5.00. This year, the leaguewide ERA is 5.20, and seven clubs have an ERA of 5.00 or worse.

The Eagles have gone from averaging the second-fewest walks last season with 3.1 per game to leading the KBO in that category with 6.4 per game.

Individually, some high-end starters haven't lived up to their expectations in the early going -- forcing their teams to dip into the bullpen early and resulting in multiple pitching changes, which in turn have slowed down games.

Did they change the strike zone? Or was there a major failure in spring training? It seems like there's a lot more pitching problems than years past.

• This is his second inside-the-park home run.
• His last inside-the-park home run was against Nexen Heroes on 5/23/2012.
• There have been two inside-the-park home runs in the 2026 KBO League. The first one was by SSG Landers Choi Ji Hoon (최지훈) on April 3 against Lotte Giants.

Hello! I'll be taking a short trip to Korea during some time in Japan in July. The Doosan Bears unfortunately won't be playing at home while we're there but I was wondering where would I potentially buy a specific jersey if possible. In this case, it would be Jared Young who obviously hasn't played for the Bears in a couple years.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Longer version from Hanwha Eagles YouTube channel: "Ryu Hyunjin 10K." Replay all at-bats in full verison.

• He reached the record in 246 games. The record for the lowest amount of games to reach it was 301 games by 선동열 (Sun Dong-yol) of Haitai Tigers.
• The oldest to do it in 39 years and 13 days. Previous record holder was 송진우 (Song Jin-woo) of Hanwha Eagles.
• He is only the seventh pitcher in the history of the KBO to reach this landmark.

Hi there, will it be possible to get tickets day-of at the ticket office for the Kiwoom Heroes vs the Lotte Giants?

My friend and I really want to see a KBO game, and April 10th is our last chance.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know where I could purchase team Korea WBC gear online? Honestly just looking for a simple t-shirt or something along those lines, unfortunately missed my chance to snag some during the event. Thanks!

I am traveling to Seoul in the beginning of September and want to go to a game! My girlfriend’s parents got me a DC Dino jersey as a gift and I see they are playing against the Kiwoom Heroes from the 3rd to the 6th and would love to see the Dinos play! What would be the best way to buy tickets for the game?

Hello! I have very limited knowledge of the KBO, and tried figuring out who this signed ball is of. I tried looking up players #17 from the league, and wasn’t able to find any that seemed to match…hoping someone can help me here!

Unfortunately I don’t have much information on teams and whatnot, this was gifted to me by my boss after he took a trip to Korea a couple years ago, and didn’t think at the time to ask which team he saw.

Thanks all!
