Orioles reportedly sign Korean outfielder Kim
Hyun-soo Kim was a career .318/.406/.488 hitter in the Korea Baseball Organization. (AP)Kim, who turns 28 in January, was a free agent after nine seasons with the Doosan Bears in the Korea Baseball Organization. He reportedly received offers from several Major League clubs, but was thought as recently as Tuesday to remain in Korea.
Instead, Kim will likely slot into left field for the Orioles. Kim is a career .318/.406/.488 hitter in the KBO coming off an impressive 2015 campaign in which he hit .326/.438/.541 with a career-high 28 home runs.
