Yang Hyeon-jong (33), a left-hander wearing a Texas Rangers uniform (MLB), takes the third SAT for the Big League.
The Texas club announced on the 19th that Yang Hyun-jong will appear in the match against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona at 5:05 am (KST) on the 20th. Yang Hyeon-jong is expected to hit the mound as the second pitcher following right-hander Kyle Cody and throw 3 innings. Yang Hyun-jong’s appearance has been six days since the Milwaukee Brewers war on the 14th. In the match against Milwaukee, Yang Hyeon-jong threw 20 balls in 2 innings, striking out 3 hits and 1 hit without a run. In the first appearance of a demonstration game against the Dodgers on the 8th, he threw 21 balls in one inning and scored two hits and one run, including one home run.
Texas coach Chris Woodward praised Yang Hyeon-jong’s composure as if he was throwing a ball in the backyard of his house, but revealed that he wanted to give the big league experience more opportunities than the first big league challengers. For Yang Hyeon-jong, who has increased the frequency of curves and is also reviving his control, he needs another good fight to enter the opening roster. The Texas club plans to use Yang Hyun-jong as a bullpen throwing multi-innings if he raises him to the big league.
