The KBO managed to avoid any coronavirus-related cancellations last year, but that run of good fortune ended Tuesday. Thankfully, no player has tested positive yet, but a positive test for a Wiz coach saw the Wiz-Twins game canceled while the league completed contact tracing. The Bears-Eagles game was canceled as well, as the Eagles had just played the Wiz over the weekend. As of writing, the teams are all set to play Wednesday, with both canceled games getting made up as part of a doubleheader. Only the first half of those doubleheaders will be included on DraftKings slate.

Thursday s KBO slate had everything from a shutout to a shootout. 21-year-old righty Tae In Won continued his breakout season, striking out eight in seven scoreless innings to outduel Odrisamer Despaigne as the Lions extended their lead atop the standings to 2.5 games with a 4-0 win. Slightly further north in Seoul, the Heroes scored 12 runs in the first four innings and then withstood a charge by the Bears to finish as 14-13 victories. Premium fantasy options were available all over both lineups, with Ji Young Lee, Byeong Woo Jeon and Jose Fernandez all grabbing three hits and five RBI. Elsewhere, Young Kyu Kim and Nick Kingham combined to allow just two earned runs in 11.1 innings, with Kim s Dinos eventually emerging as 4-2 victors.

Last year, the arrival of the KBO was a breath of fresh air for our despondent, quarantined, and baseball-deprived selves. Between May and July, the entire baseball community became invested in a league that is in many ways different from MLB. There’s greater emphasis on contact hitting and baserunning, which recalled another, perhaps nostalgic, era of major league baseball for some. Sure, the defense and pitching could be clunky at times, but we embraced them as fun idiosyncrasies. And though baseball and a semblance of normalcy has returned stateside, there are still plenty of fans who want to monitor the KBO.
