Go Young-pyo, ‘0 point BB/9, overwhelming QS’, 10 billion won is worth it

KT Wiz is pursuing a non-FA (free agent) contract with ace pitcher Ko Young-pyo (32). The contract period is 5 years, and the amount is still being negotiated, but it has been reported that an agreement has been reached in the overall framework. If the contract is concluded, Go Young-pyo will become the first 'non-FA multi-year contract' in the club's history. With his contract guaranteed until his late 30s, Go Young-pyo is ready to be reborn as KT's franchise star.

It is known that the contract size proposed by KT is higher than the size of non-FA contracts for pitchers from other teams. Previously, Park Se-woong (Lotte Giants) signed a 5-year contract worth a total of 9 billion won (annual salary 7 billion won, options 2 billion won), and Koo Chang-mo (NC Dinos) signed a 6+1 year contract worth a total of 13.2 billion won (annual salary 8.8 billion won, options 4.4 billion won). There is a bar. Ko Young-pyo is expected to sign a 5-year contract worth around 10 billion won.

Ko Young-pyo was scheduled to become a free agent after the 2024 season. He was already booking the 'pitcher's biggest catch'. Go Young-pyo was so popular that even last season, there were rumors of a trade with several key players from other teams. Accordingly, KT had to capture Ko Young-pyo, the club's prospective franchise star, and began discussions on a non-FA multi-year contract after the 2023 season and reached an agreement.

Ko Young-pyo has appeared in 82 games over the past three seasons and recorded 63 quality starts (QS, 3 earned runs or less over 6 innings). This ranks first among all pitchers. Quality Start+ (QS+, 3 earned runs or less over 7 innings) is also first with 40 starts. In particular, last year, his number of walks per 9 innings was 0.98, which was the lowest record in KBO League history. The strikeout-to-walk ratio was also overwhelming at 6.00 (114 strikeouts/19 walks).
