KT Wiz is seeking to sign a multi-year contract with sidearm pitcher Go Young-pyo (33), who is one year away from becoming a free agent. If there are no special problems, an official announcement is expected to be made soon.

According to a KT team official on the 24th, KT proposed a 5-year contract worth close to 10 billion won to Go Young-pyo and is going through the final coordination process for detailed options.

It is reported that Go Young-pyo's contract size is expected to exceed 10 billion won. If KT succeeds in signing Go Young-pyo, it will be the first non-FA multi-year contract in the club's history.

Recently, in the KBO League, there has been an increase in the number of 'local aces' within the team signing contracts in advance before being released as free agents. Previously, in October 2022, Lotte Giants right-hander Park Se-woong signed a five-year contract worth a total of 9 billion won, and in December of the same year, NC Dinos left-hander Koo Chang-mo signed a multi-year contract worth up to 13.2 billion won for seven years.

Go Young-pyo also performed well enough to sign a large contract.

Ko Young-pyo, who was selected by KT as the 10th pick in the second round of the 2014 rookie draft, has been playing for the first team since 2015, his second year. Until 2018, he showed some shakiness, recording an earned run average in the 5-point range every year.

However, starting in 2021, when he returned from military service, he became a completely different pitcher. Under the guidance of coach Lee Kang-cheol, the 'submarine legend', he found stability and earned a spot as a starting pitcher.

He recorded 11 wins, 6 losses, and an average ERA of 2.92 in 2021, followed by 13 wins, 8 losses, and an ERA of 3.26 in 2022, and 12 wins, 7 losses, and an average ERA of 2.78 last year. During this period, he showed himself as an 'inning eater' by playing at least 160 innings every year and increased his efficiency with a low number of walks.

He is not just a '[domestic ace](https://indexca.link/2024/01/ssg-which-recruited-lee-ji-young-also-captured-internal-free-agent-kim-min-sik-2-year-500-million-won-contract/)', but a force that is not inferior to foreign pitchers.

Because of this performance, rumors about Go Young-pyo's multi-year contract have been rife since the middle of last year's season, and as expected, the KT club appears to be moving before he is released as a free agent.

Although he is only 33 years old this year, his contribution over the past three seasons has been significant, and this decision was made in light of his symbolism as a 'one-club man'.

KT is expected to make an official announcement after undergoing medical tests. It is highly likely that it will be confirmed before spring camp begins in February. [토토사이트](https://www.sportstotomen.com/category/%ec%82%ac%ec%84%a4%ed%86%a0%ed%86%a0/)
