Correspondent Moon Dae-hyun = Right-handed pitcher Shim Jun-seok (19), who is seeking to advance to the Major League (MLB), is being talked about going to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The American media The Athletics announced on the 12th (Korean time), “The possibility of Shim Jun-seok going to Pittsburgh is growing.”
Shim Jun-seok, who throws a fastball of 150 km/h, drew attention early on as a super high school level pitcher. Instead of participating in the KBO League draft last year, he declared his advance to the United States. 카지노사이트
The Pittsburgh club, which has been interested in Korean players, including Park Chan-ho and Kang Jung-ho, has already paid attention to Shim Jun-seok since last year.
Last summer, scouts were dispatched to Korea to keep an eye on Shim Jun-seok.
The media introduced, “Sim Jun-seok is a player ranked 10th in the international prospect list by MLB.com. It is compared to Park Chan-ho’s childhood, who played for Pittsburgh in 2010.”
Pittsburgh gave Korean prospect Bae Ji-hwan a down payment of $1.25 million in 2018, and the possibility of investing more than $1 million in down payment to Shim Jun-seok is being raised.
If Pittsburgh recruits Shim Jun-seok, he will have Choi Ji-man but Bae Ji-hwan and one pot rice.
On the other hand, among Korean players, Kim Byeong-hyun received the largest down payment when entering the US as an amateur. Kim Byung-hyun signed a contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks for $2.25 million in 1999.
