Bears manager moving starter Logue to bullpen for KBO postseason

Oct 12, 2026

Doosan Bears manager Kim Won-hyong announced Monday his American starting pitcher Zach Logue will pitch out of the bullpen during the upcoming Korean baseball postseason. With one final regular-season game left Monday evening, the Bears have long clinched the fifth seed in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) and a spot in the wild card round. It will start Wednesday against the No. 4 seed — either the Kia Tigers or the LG Twins, who were to play each other Monday with the winner grabbing the third seed and the loser finishing in fourth place. The lower-seeded team will be at a disadvantage in the wild card phase, as it will have to win two straight games on the road. The higher-seeded team, though, only needs a tie or a win in two tries to advance to the next round. With that arrangement in mind, Kim said he saw no point in saving starting pitchers for later rounds, when the immediate goal is to get past the wild card stage. "We have to win two straight games and we cannot afford to get ahead of ourselves," Kim told reporters before hosting the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium
