Hyun-Seok Jang, scouted by the Los Angeles Dodgers at 19, received a $900,000 signing bonus in Aug. 2023, forgoing a potential top pick status in the Korean Baseball Organization Draft.
Jang, with a diverse pitching arsenal including a four-seam fastball up to 97 mph, is set to debut in Single-A after a successful season in the Arizona Complex League with impressive strikeout numbers and a low opponent batting average.
The Dodgers are optimistic about Jang's development, aiming for him to become the next notable Korean pitcher akin to Chan Ho Park and Hyun-Jin Ryu, with expectations of him evolving into a top-of-the-rotation starter.
