First baseman/outfielder Franchy Cordero has signed with the Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, his representatives at Republik Sports announced today on Instagram.
Cordero, 29, has long tantalized Major League teams with his rare blend of immense raw power and plus speed. Persistent plate discipline and strikeout issues have undercut his upside in both departments, however, as indicated by a career .217/.283/.395 batting line in 797 plate appearances between the Padres, Red Sox, Royals and Yankees.
