No-hit streak until 6th inning with 2 outs… 6 innings, 1 hit, no walks, no runs, no runs pitched.
KT Wiz foreign pitcher William Cuevas’ spirit of sacrifice was evident in the fall of the 2023 season.

William Cuevas
William Cuevas, who had only rested three days after the first PO game,
seemed to have his game sense at its peak and overwhelmed NC with a sharp breaking ball.
Cuevas contributed to KT’s first combined championship by participating without hesitation in the fall of the 2021 season.
At that time, William Cuevas became the winning pitcher in the NC game on October 28th,
when the competition for the lead in the regular season was fierce,
then took the mound in the first place game against the Samsung Lions after only two days of rest,
confirming the regular season championship.
As an individual, Cuevas succeeded in shaking off the pain of the first game,
which was a tough game in 3 innings, with 6 hits (1 home run) and 7 runs (4 earned).
Cuevas pitched overwhelmingly, not allowing a single hit while the NC batting line made two rounds until 2 outs in the 6th inning.
KT Wiz
Of the 73 pitches he threw, he threw a mix of cut fastballs (23), four-seam fastballs (19), two-seam fastballs (12), changeups (10), and sliders (9).
In particular, NC batters were helpless against Cuevas’ cut fastball, which hit the mitt sharply.
In the bottom of the first inning, KT third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun made a catching error and sent leadoff hitter Son A-seop to first base,
which was the only time Cuevas was allowed to get on base.
The first game of PO, it was a moment that felt like déjà vu when Hwang Jae-gyun gave up 2 runs in an inning due to a catching error in the 3rd inning.
But Cuevas remained calm.
After consoling the disappointed Hwang Jae-gyun, he put the top batting lineup of Park Min-woo,
Park Geon-woo, and Jason Martin to rest.
Afterwards, as the KT batting line scored 2 runs in each inning in the 1st to 4th innings,
Cuevas, who felt lighter, made 4 consecutive three-point innings in the 2nd to 5th innings.
His ‘no-hit streak’ was broken when he was hit by Son Ah-seop with two outs in the 6th inning, but he firmly blocked the bases from scoring.
