KBO primer

■ The Korea Baseball Organization, formed in 1982, is comprised of 10 teams with no divisions and the regular season is 144 games. Teams are allowed only three foreign players per team at a time.

■ The SK Wyverns, which Jamie Romak is a member, lost their ace pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim in the offseason when he signed a two-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.

■ The league uses the universal designated hitter.

■ Games will be played with no fans in the stands.

■ The KBO tried playing limitless games in 2008 but scrapped the idea a year later. Regular-season games are now declared a tie after the 12th inning during the regular season and after the 15th inning in the postseason. In the postseason, tie games are replayed.

■ Current Wyverns Manager Trey Hillman led the team to the Korean Series title in 2018, after also winning the Japan Series as manager of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in 2006. He also managed the Kansas City Royals from 2008-10, making him the only person to manage in Korea, Japan and MLB.
