KBO’s KT Wiz Re-Sign William Cuevas

By Anthony Franco | December 2, 2019 at 12:34am CDT

The KT Wiz of the Korea Baseball Organization announced they have re-signed right-hander William Cuevas (h/t to Dan Kurtz of MyKBO). The deal comes with a $900K guarantee, with an additional $100K available in incentives.

Cuevas, 29, pitched in parts of three MLB seasons with the Red Sox and Tigers, although he combined for only 22.1 innings at the highest level. He’d typically been on hand as high minors starting pitching depth between 2015-18. Cuevas is probably most well-known for his time with the Red Sox, who originally signed him out of Venezuela a decade ago. In addition to Detroit and Boston, Cuevas briefly pitched in the Marlins’ system, although he never made the big leagues with Miami.

Cuevas made the jump to Korea after the 2018 season. In his first season with the Wiz, he tossed 184 passable innings. His 3.62 ERA ranked 14th among 27 qualifiers, per MyKBO Stats, while his 17.8% strikeout rate (11th) and 8.3% walk rate (22nd) were more serviceable than remarkable. Nevertheless, the Wiz were evidently encouraged enough to commit one of their three roster spots available for foreign-born players to Cuevas in 2020.

      Is this what qualifies as MLB news now? A guy that pitched for a Korean baseball team last year re-signed with that same Korean baseball team for next year? I don’t mean to be rude but I thought the main point of this site was MLB?

        No one made you click it, SUGmaster Flash. Surely there’s enough content, even in December, to fill your bucket.

    Cuevas sat around 89-90mph and really was never much of any kind of prospect IMO. They have another identical to him wasting space on the 40 man in Denyi Reyes.

    Interesting on that KBO list is ex Sox no 1 pick from like ’09 Casey Kelly way up there on the leaderboard, even threw 180 innings.

    Would he have gotten a ring for pitching for Boston in 2018? If so, Baseball Reference doesn’t have the World Series Champion designator under his profile.
