VIDEO: KBO's KT Wiz Committed the Most Comical Double Play Fail Imaginable
By Michael Luciano
The KBO's KT Wiz have gotten off to a slow start to the season at 1-4, and winning spots on SportsCenter's Not Top 10 isn't going to help matters much. Outfielder and first baseman Baek-Ho Kang gave us one of the worst double play fails of all time against the Doosan Bears, as his attempt to nail the lead runner sailed into the outfield.

You'd think by watching this that Kang would be headed for the minor leagues, but he actually might be the best young hitting prospect in all of Korea. Kang hit .290 with 29 home runs and 84 RBI as an 18-year-old rookie in 2018, and he followed that up by hitting .336 in 116 games last year at the age of 19.
Having said this, this clip proves that he needs to either stay in the outfield or work on his defense in a pretty major fashion.

Even some of the greatest baseball players in the world are prone to some monumental slip-ups, and Kang is no different.
