Korean outfielder Hyun-soo Kim has agreed to a two-year, $7 million contract with the Orioles, according to an industry source.
The deal is pending medical review.
Kim, a 27-year-old, left-handed hitter, is considered one of the best contact hitters in the Korean Baseball Organization. He hit .326 with a .438 on-base percentage, 28 home runs and 128 RBIs last year in 141 games last season.
Kim walked 101 times with just 63 strikeouts in 2015 and has had more walks (597) than strikeouts (501) over his career.
He has played left field and first base in Korea, but probably would be a left fielder in the majors, where he would be considered adequate.
