ESPN today announced its coverage plans for the KBO League postseason, which begins on November 1 at 1 a.m. ET on ESPNEWS. The games will air live across ESPN2 and ESPNNEWS, culminating with the Korean Series on ESPN2.
The first-place NC Dinos, who have led the league in dominant fashion nearly all season with sluggers Sung-bum Na and Aaron Altherr, have clinched their first regular season title, which automatically earns them a spot in the Korean Series. The defending champion Doosan Bears and Jose Fernandez, the LG Twins and Casey Kelly, the KT Wiz and Mel Rojas Jr. and the Kiwoom Heroes and Addison Russell will participate in a four-team playoff to earn a spot in the Korean Series. The NC Dinos will face the winner of the four-team playoff in the Korean Series beginning on November 17 at 4:30 a.m.
ESPN’s roster of KBO League commentators will provide remote play-by-play and analysis during the postseason. Play-by-play voices Jason Benetti, Karl Ravech, Jon Sciambi and Tom Hart will provide commentary alongside analysts Jessica Mendoza, Chris Burke, Eduardo Perez, Kyle Peterson and Daniel Kim.
ESPN.com’s dedicated KBO League page featuring news updates, power rankings and highlights will continue throughout the postseason. Saturday, ESPN baseball writer Joon Lee will share his players to watch in the playoffs on ESPN.com. All KBO League content is also available on the ESPN App.
