Timeline
Kang Baek-ho (born July 29, 1999) is a South Korean professional baseball left fielder for the KT Wiz of the KBO League.
Kang began playing baseball in elementary school but had to move between schools several times as a youth due to "a family issue" which he told Ilgan Sports was "hard to talk about."
Kang played high school baseball as a pitcher, catcher and designated hitter at Seoul High School where, as a freshman, he was the first player to hit a home run at Gocheok Sky Dome.
In 2017, he led Seoul to a high school baseball championship and was named the most valuable player of the tournament.
Kang's accomplishments as a high schooler brought him significant media attention.
After high school, Kang decided to enter the KBO against the wishes of his father who wanted him to try for "a bigger stage."
Kang was selected with the first overall pick in the 2017 KBO draft by the KT Wiz.
He made his KBO debut at 18 years old and hit a home run against Héctor Noesí in the first plate appearance of his career.

In June 2019, Kang underwent surgery on his hand after cutting it on a piece of metal while making a catch in foul territory at Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium.
He sat out for the entire month of July due to the injury but was voted a starter on the all-star team nonetheless.
In 2019, he represented South Korea in the Premier12 and played well.
Kang missed three weeks of the 2020 season after hurting his wrist while sliding on defense.
Fans voted Kang to the all-star team again in 2020 although the game did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
