KT Substitute Pitcher Logan Allen Strikes Out 6 in 5 Innings in Return

Logan Allen, the substitute player signed by the professional baseball team KT Wiz to replace an injured pitcher, has successfully completed his return match.

Logan started in the home game against the KIA Tigers in the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League, held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon today (June 21). He pitched 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 6 batters.

He reached a maximum velocity of 151 km/h (94 mph) and finished the 5th inning with 78 pitches, mixing in sliders and changeups.

Logan, who played for the NC Dinos last season, recorded 7 wins and 12 losses with a 4.53 ERA in 32 games before failing to secure a contract renewal.

This year, he struggled in the minor leagues with the Oklahoma City Comets, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, posting a 2-4 record with a 6.08 ERA in 12 games.

However, KT signed Logan as a replacement foreign pitcher after their foreign pitcher Caleb Boushley was removed from the first-team roster due to a shoulder muscle injury.

Having passed his first test in his return to the KBO League, Logan is scheduled to bolster the KT pitching staff for the next six weeks.
