(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hyeon-gu Jang = Hyun-jong Yang (33), a new family member, was introduced in detail in the 2021 media guide, which was first published online by the Texas Rangers of the American Professional Baseball (MLB) on the 27th (Korean time).
The media guide is a player information brochure. The Texas club also included the career records of the players who participated in Spring Camp as invited players after signing the minor leagues in the media guide.
The Texas club said that Yang Hyun-jong swept the Korean professional baseball regular league and the best Korean series player (MVP) in 2017 and won the KBO league average ERA title twice in 2015 and 2019.

In addition, he added that in 2014 and 2017, he received the Choi Dong-won Award, which is the best between MLB.
Texas also announced Yang Hyun-jong’s annual performance and national team history, and paid attention to the fact that he started in 30 games a year on average for 7 years from 2014 to last year, picking up 14 wins and throwing 184⅓ innings.
In the aftermath of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the major leagues played only 60 games per team last year, and Hyunjong Yang’s consistency and durability are attractive points that increase his chances of being promoted to the big leagues.
After Park Chan-ho (2002-2005), Choo Shin-soo (2014-2020), and Rob Lepsnyder (2020), the Texas club predicted that Yang Hyeon-jong could become the fourth big leaguer born in Korea in the history of the Texas club.
If Yang Hyun-jong is included in the opening game’s 26 rosters and steps on the big league stage, he will earn up to 1.85 million dollars in annual salary this year.
Outfielder Lepsnyder (30), also known as Kim Jeong-tae, was born in Seoul and adopted into an American family. He hit 0.200 in Texas last year and was released and signed a minor contract with the Minnesota Twins.
