The San Diego Padres signed left-hander Hart to a one-year deal with a club option for 2026, guaranteeing him $1.5 million initially. After a rough stint with the Red Sox in 2020, Hart revitalized his career in the KBO with a 2.69 ERA across 26 starts. His success attributes to improved pitching strategies, including a new sweeper and effective use of his changeup. Hart's contract can increase significantly tied to performance metrics, marking him as a promising addition to the Padres' rotation.
"Hart, who turned 32 in November, was torched for 19 runs in 11 innings with the 2020 Red Sox, his lone MLB experience to date."
"Brandishing a new sweeper, a heavier reliance on his changeup and using his four-seamer more at the top of the zone in South Korea, Hart broke out with a 2.69 earned run average over 26 starts for the KBO's NC Dinos."
