“The Dodgers signed Korean pitching prospect Jang Hyun-seok for $900,000,” the media outlet reported on the 9th (below), “Jang said, ‘I am honored to join the Dodgers. I will work hard to become a player who develops as much as you chose me,'” the media reported.
“Jang Hyun-seok is a tremendous pitching prospect who can throw up to 97 mph and has a variety of pitches, including a fastball, curveball, changeup, slider, and sweeper.” “He was expected to be the No. 1 pick in the KBO draft, but he chose to play in the United States and the Dodgers gave him a chance,” the report added.
“The Dodgers have had success with international players such as Ryu Hyun-jin, Genta Maeda, and Hideo Nomo, and hope that Jang will have similar success,” said Dodger Nation, “Dodger fans will be very excited to see what Jang can do in the big leagues.”
In his three years of high school, Jang went 6-3 with a 1.84 ERA in 21 games (68 1/3 innings), and showed off his strong stuff, striking out a whopping 102 batters. He also struck out 42 batters with his four-pitch arsenal, but with such a dominant delivery, he has a lot of potential.
Jang Hyun-seok’s press conference to join the LA Dodgers will be held at the Seoul Dragon City Hotel on the 14th.
