The Texas Rangers’ worries are deepening due to Yang Hyun-jong’s (33, Texas Rangers) hot pitch.

Yang Hyun-jong appeared as the team’s fourth pitcher against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2021 Major League Demonstration Game held at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona on the 20th (Korean time) and recorded 3 innings, 3 hits, 1 run and 4 strikeouts. He had a total of 37 pitches and maintained an average ERA of 3.00.

In a video interview after the game, Texas coach Chris Woodward said, “I can’t tell you a lot about the possibility of entering the major league roster. “We have a lot of concerns, and whether or not Yang will join is one of them.” I think it will be.”

Earlier, Director Woodward revealed that Hyunjong Yang can be used as a ‘1+1’ or a long relief. If a good pitch continues in the demonstration game, it seems possible to enter the major league roster.

Director Woodward praised his performance on the day, saying, “I pitched aggressively. Fastball felt faster than redemption.”

He added, “I’m a pitcher who has played a lot of innings over the past 7 years. It looks like he will perform well in any position,” he added. “I think a steady appearance is the biggest advantage.”
