KT Wiz foreign-born pitcher William Cuevas showed off his power in his first bullpen pitch upon joining spring training.

Cuevas threw his first bullpen pitch after joining spring training at Hyundai Motor Dream Ball Park in Gijang-gun, Busan, on Saturday. He threw 13 pitches, mixing fastballs and changeups, and touched the high 140s with his fastball.

“It was nice to be welcomed by the team,” 안전놀이터 Cuevas said. I’ve been building my body well in the United States. I’m looking forward to this season. Everyone says it’s cold in Gijang, but it’s much better than the last time I was here, so I think I’ll be able to prepare well for the season.”

“I didn’t think of it as bullpen pitching, but it was my first practice, so I focused on maintaining the body feel I’ve developed in the U.S.,” he said after throwing two innings of live BP.

“I think the first thing is jet lag. I’m happy with the way I pitched while I was still jetlagged,” he said, adding, “I focused on improving my lower body flexibility, which is something I’ve been working on in the States. When you get older, your lower body can get stiff, so I did a lot of exercises to loosen it up,” he added.

KT will open the regular season against Samsung on March 23 at KT Wiz Park in Suwon. When asked about his starting lineup for the opening game, Lee hinted at the possibility of using Cuevas.

“We have a lot of good starting pitchers,” he said. It could be Benjamin, it could be me, it could be another pitcher. I think it’s a game where everybody has to pitch their best.”
