Jang Hyun-seok as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers

"I want to be a starting pitcher after Park Chan-ho and Ryu Hyun-jin."

Masan Yongmago Jang Hyun-seok, who joined the Los Angeles Dodgers of the Major League Baseball, shared his ambitions.

He wears the number 18, a number that has been worn by Asian aces like Daisuke Matsuzaka and Genta Maeda.

Considered a top prospect with a top velocity of 158 kilometers per hour, Jang Hyun-seok chose the Dodgers over other clubs.

"For a Korean player, the Dodgers are a very familiar and familiar team, and I heard that they are the best team for pitchers among the 30 teams, so I chose them."

He's not yet comfortable introducing himself in English,

"Hi, my name is Hyun-seok Jang."

When he talks about his aspirations as a player, his voice is full of confidence.

"I want to be a starting pitcher in the Dodgers organization, like guys like Chan Ho Park and Hyun-jin Ryu. Within the Dodgers, I want to be like Clayton Kershaw..."

As for the hitters he'd like to face, he cites Shohei Ohtani, the best player in the majors right now.

"I want to play against Ohtani because he's the best hitter in the major leagues and he's Asian and he's the player I look up to next to Darvish..."

The Dodgers, who have been 바카라사이트 watching Jang since he was a middle schooler in 2020, are so excited about him that they paid $900,000 of his contract, $1.2 billion of our money, with a bonus pool created by trading two of the team's top prospects.

"He wants to do well, he wants to win, and he's very competitive. His curveball reminds me of (Major League Baseball legend) Josh Beckett."

In September, Jang will become the first high school player to compete in the Asian Games, a showcase before his big league debut.
