"The Toronto Blue Jays have officially introduced International Free Agent Seojun Moon as one of their own. The six-foot-four right-hander is the first Korean-born signing in team history. The 214-bound 18-year-old from South Kora became a star at Jangchung High School in Seoul over the past three years. His numbers jump off the page, with a 2.18 ERA and 93 strikeouts in over 66 innings without allowing a home run, in 24 games."
"He's got a fastball that sits in the low-90s but can ramp up to hit 95 mph. Scouts say his ability to spin the ball is advanced for someone his age and they think he projects into a big league pitcher. All that to say, this kid is a stud and can very easily be seen as a member of the Blue Jays starting rotation in the near future and while he doesn't come with the pedigree of someone like Shoei Ohtani or Roki Sasaki,"
