NC's new foreign pitcher, Logan Allen (28), known for the excellent recruitment of foreign players, successfully completed his first real game appearance.
On the 25th (Korea Standard Time), a practice game was held at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Center in Tainan, Taiwan, between NC and the Taiwanese professional baseball team, the Fubon Guardians. NC started left-handed new foreign pitcher Logan Allen.
Logan threw a total of 33 pitches in this appearance, recording a maximum fastball speed of 144 km/h.
