(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = A Texas regional magazine evaluated the possibility of Yang Hyeon-jong (33, Texas Rangers) entering the MLB roster as’GOOD’.
Dallas Morning News updated the prospect of the Texas Rangers’ opening roster for the 2021 season on the 14th (Korean time).
On the 13th, Hyunjong Yang, who signed a split contract with Texas (a contract whose annual salary varies depending on the MLB and minor league status) was also subject to evaluation.
Dallas Morning News predicted the possibility of joining the roster of 16 pitchers who signed a minor league contract and joined Texas MLB Spring Camp as invited players.
Yang Hyun-jong was the only one among 16 people to be evaluated as’GOOD’. This means that there is a possibility to enter the active MLB roster.
The Dallas Morning News briefly explained the situation of Yang Hyeon-jong, saying, “I will play 14 years in Korean professional baseball and challenge MLB.”
Three players, including Spencer Patton, who returned to Texas after spending four seasons in the Japanese professional baseball Yokohama Bass Stars, and Alex Spears, a prospective player who throws a fast 102 mph (about 164 km), were evaluated as’Fair’.
There were 5 pitchers who predicted that it would be difficult to enter the big leagues (Unlikely) and 6 pitchers who were classified as No chance. Justin Anderson is on the list of injured after undergoing elbow surgery, making it difficult to make a career in MLB this season.

The Texas club officially announced on the 13th that “We signed a minor league contract with Hyunjong Yang and invited them to the MLB Spring Camp.”
Yang Hyun-jong’s agency said, “If you enter the MLB roaster, you will be guaranteed $1.3 million, and you can receive an additional $550,000 incentives according to your grades. A total of $1.85 million was signed.”
Yang Hyeon-jong is still in minor league status. You need to prove your competitiveness at Spring Camp to stand in the big league mound of your dreams.
There are many mountains to overcome, but the local media positively sees the possibility of Yang Hyun-jong’s entry into the big league.
Texas are in the first to third starters, including Kyle Gibson, Mike Poltinevic, and Arihara Gohei. It is expected that the 4th to 5th selections will be confirmed at Spring Camp.
It also opened up the possibility of a ‘1+1 strategy’ in which two pitchers are thrown in a row in a six-selection system or in a specific game.
Dallas Morning News predicted that Yang Hyeon-jong will compete with Jordan Lyles, Dane Dunning and Kyle Cody to enter the starting rotation.
