“Yang Hyun-jong’s experience helps TEX rebuild” However, the opening roster is’at risk of dropping out’

[OSEN=한용섭 기자] The Texas Rangers’ opening roster is increasingly being decided. It is unclear whether Yang Hyun-jong, who has signed a split contract and is challenging the major leagues, will enter the opening roster. Local media predicted that Yang’s experience could help without interfering with the rebuilding of Texas, but it is likely to be pushed back in the opening roster competition.

The Texas regional magazine’Force Worth Star-Telegram’ praised Yang Hyun-jong’s experience of winning the KBO league in an article entitled’How veteran players can help without harming the Texas rebuilding’ on the 28th (hereinafter Korean time).

Texas announced early rebuilding routes. Texas is building roasters with young prospects. The media predicted, “It is likely to include about 6 players (all players who signed a one-year contract) tentatively for players over 30 years old.”

“Texas needs to develop and evaluate as many talented young players as possible, with utility infielder Brock Holt (32), designated hitter Chris Davis (33) and right-hander Jordan Lyles (30) having to rebuild the team. It may appear to be disturbing. The same is true of invited players, Hyun-jong Yang (33), right-hander Ian Kennedy (36), and Matt Bush (35).”

“The first priority we want to achieve this season is learning how to win the majors,” said Director Chris Woodward. “We need veteran players to protect young players with little experience. When prospects struggle and fall, they should give them the opportunity to seek help from a veteran without breaking their confidence.”

The media said that the aforementioned players in their 30s, including Hyunjong Yang, have achieved some degree of success in common, and that they have postseason experience, and that it can instill a way to win while helping young players grow. Holt, Davis, Kennedy, and Bush all have postseason experience. Lyles also played for the Contender team.

The media explained, “If you are included in the Texas roster, you will become a major league rookie, but Hyunjong Yang has won the KBO league twice, and has a history of MVP in the Korean series and MVP in the regular season.” “These veterans will be helpful in the development of the players, so it seems that their presence will not interfere with that purpose.”

Woodward has confirmed and revealed 10 pitchers out of the 26 opening entries. Only three of the 13 positions for the selection (7 people) and the bullpen (6 people) were left. Kyle Gibson, Mike Poltinevic, Arihara Kohei were the first to third starters. The 4-5 starters for the tandem (1+1) will be filled with Jordan Lyles (right hand), Dane Dunning (right hand), Kyle Cody (right hand), Taylor Heun (left hand), and Wes Benjamin (left hand). Josh King (left-handed) and Brett Des Guess (right-handed) are bullpen agents.

The remaining seats are dominated by Ian Kennedy, Matt Bush, and Josh Svots, who should be in charge. ‘Force Worth Star-Telegram’ predicted, “Yang Hyun-jong may be included in the roster, and Kennedy and Bush will certainly be included in the roster.” Dallas Morning News also predicts that Kennedy, Bush, and Svots will take the three spots in the bullpen.

In the demonstration game, Kennedy scored 5⅔ no-pitch hits and 7 strikeouts in 6 games (ERA 0), Bush scored 6 games, 4⅔innings 3 hits, 7 strikeouts and 3 runs (ERA 5.79), and Svots 7 games, 7 innings, 7 hits, 10 strikeouts and 1 run. (ERA 1.29, 2 saves) is being recorded. In addition to these, there is Hunter Wood, who recorded 7 hits in 9 innings, 14 strikeouts and 4 runs (ERA 4.00, 3 saves) in 9 games.
