Logan Allen is a left-handed foreign pitcher for KT Wiz. Ahead of the Korean Series, he was prepared as a key left-handed bullpen target for Samsung, which has many left-handed hitters, but was moved to the starting position.
KT Wiz's left-handed foreign pitcher Logan Allen was kicked out early after giving his worst pitch in Game 4 of the 2026 Korean Series (KS).
Logan retired after allowing 5 hits, 3 walks, 1 out, and 6 runs in 1 inning in the 4th KS game against the Samsung Lions held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 7th.
Logan, who gave up 6 runs in the first inning alone, was on defense in the top of the 2nd inning when he was down 1-6, and was hit by leadoff hitter Koo Ja-wook on a left-field hit and passed the ball to Bae Je-seong.
It was the worst result for KT.
Logan initially prepared KS as a key left-handed bullpen targeting Samsung, which has many left-handed hitters.
However, Logan made a relief appearance in the top of the 7th inning with Samsung and KS leading 8-2 in the first game on the 3rd, and allowed a right-handed hit to pinch hitter Kim Seong-yoon and an infield hit to Kim Young-woong, putting the bases loaded with one out. After allowing a run when Ryu Ji-hyuk grounded out to second base, he was replaced.
Logan's unstable pitching allowed KT to catch up, and after many twists and turns, they won by one point, 8-7.
Logan, who was unable to play his role in the bullpen, was moved to the starting position and prepared for the 4th game of KS.
The selection was even more dismal.
In the 4th game of KS, he showed extreme difficulty with ball control from the 1st inning and was hit.
KT's batting line seemed to have lightened Logan's shoulders by scoring the first run in the top of the first inning with Jang Jin-hyuk's solo home run.
However, Logan gave up a left-field hit to Ji-chan Kim and a sacrifice bunt to Seung-gyu Park to end up on second base with one out, and then allowed a walk to Ja-wook Koo.
He seemed to have taken a breather by blocking Choi Hyeong-woo with a fly ball, but he allowed a timely hit in the middle to Lewin Diaz and a timely hit to left to Kim Young-woong, giving him a 1-2 lead.
Logan became more shaken. A walk to Jae-Hyeon Lee put the bases loaded with two outs, and he threw the ball into Ji-Hyuk Ryu's body, allowing a walk on base.
I had bad luck too. Logan seemed to treat Kim Do-hwan with a fly ball to right field, but KT right fielder Ahn Hyun-min failed to properly catch the falling ball and missed the ball, and all three runners came home.
Although the official record was a hit, Ahn Hyun-min's defensive mistake was very painful.
Logan later walked Kim Ji-chan and barely finished the inning by catching Park Seung-gyu with a fly ball to the outfield.
According to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), Samsung's '6 runs' is the highest score in the bottom of the first inning of a postseason in professional baseball history.
Logan tied for first place (4) in allowing the most four outs allowed in an inning in the postseason.
