Texas LA Dodgers play in the 8th inning
Home run passing the left fence to Peters after 2 deaths
Yang Hyeon-jong (33, Texas Rangers), who challenged the US major league stage, hit a home run in the first appearance of the demonstration game.
On the 8th (Korean time), Yang Hyun-jong scored 1 strikeout and 1 run in 1 inning, 2 hits (1 home run) and 1 strikeout against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona, USA. The number of pitches is 21.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who reached the mound as the team’s fifth pitcher in the 8th inning ahead 4-2, took a fresh start by catching first batter Sheldon Neusi with a missed swing. The follow-up Omar Esteves also turned to center fielder.
After grabbing two outcounts, it shook. After the second company, the ball thrown at DJ Peters led to a home run over the left fence.
Yang Hyun-jong, who conceded with a home run, was also hit by a right-handed hit by James Outman. Yang Hyeon-jong, who was placed on second base, was able to finish the inning by holding Elliott Soto as a shortstop floating ball with defensive help.
Yang Hyeon-jong came down the mound with a 4-3 lead. A save was given to Hyunjong Yang. Yang Hyun-jong, who played an active part in the KBO League KIA Tigers until last year, went to the United States after signing a split contract with Texas last month.
With the contract that the annual salary and other factors vary depending on the major and minor league affiliations, Yang Hyeon-jong must clear the competition by putting a snow stamp during this demonstration game. When he enters the major leagues, he earns $1.3 million per year. You can also get an additional $550,000 in incentives based on your grades.
