(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyeon-gu = Yang Hyeon-jong (33, Texas Rangers), who has only been a relief pitcher so far, will finally rise to the mound as a starter.
On the 24th, the Texas team of the American Professional Baseball (MLB) announced that Yang Hyun-jong will be the starter in the demonstration game against the Cincinnati Reds held at Goodyear Ball Park in Goodyear, Arizona, at 10:05 (KST) on the 25th.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who joined Spring Camp as an invited player after signing a split contract with Texas (a contract with a different salary when in the major and minor leagues), started in three games only with salvation, and finally had a chance to start after the fourth time. Got it.
It is a chance that can not be missed for Yang Hyun-jong who survives the spring camp and challenges his promotion to the big leaguer.
Yang Hyun-jong is recording 1 save and an average ERA of 3.00 in the demonstration game.
He played against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 8th, the Milwaukee Brewers on the 14th, and the Dodgers on the 20th, and he threw a total of 6 innings by increasing his pitching innings by 1 inning each time he came out.
In particular, in the game on the 20th, he struck out 4 in 3 innings and made a striking streak with 3 hits and 1 run, leaving a strong impression on Texas coach Chris Woodward.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who has proven his ability as a pitcher capable of throwing multi-innings, will show his ability to solve the game as a starting pitcher this time.
