Twins win bidding for Korean pitcher Hyeon-jong Yang
Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Twins have won
the bidding for Korean left-hander Hyeon-jong Yang, who was posted by the Kia
Tigers three weeks ago.
Yang won the Korean equivalent of the Cy Young award this season and the
26-year-old tops out at 92-95 miles per hour, although opinions vary on his
ability to be more than a middle-of-the-rotation starter in the majors.
Yang’s raw numbers aren’t impressive, but it’s important to note that the
Korean Baseball Organization as a whole had a 5.63 ERA this year. It’s an
extreme hitter’s league and his 4.25 ERA was 25 percent better than the
league average. By comparison, a pitcher being 25 percent better than this
year’s MLB average would translate to a 2.80 ERA.
By submitting the winning bid the Twins now have 30 days in which to
negotiate a contract with Yang.
確定由雙城贏得韓國左腕梁玹種的談判權!!
效力於起亞虎的他今年26歲 球速有92-95MPH
今年有入選仁川亞運國手 之前的廣州亞運也有
本季4.25防禦率雖然看來很普通 但KBO全體ERA是5.63(超級打擊聯盟...)
恰巧雙城輪值蠻缺左投 慘澹的發球機表現也無須贅言 覺得可以姑且一試
(其實對韓職沒有很熟 希望可以拋磚引玉討論看看 歡迎補充噢~)
