A former under-the-radar international signing is making a lot of noise down on the farm.
Hyun-Seok Jang is slated to make his Single-A debut for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Thursday after having a successful season in the Arizona Complex League.
Jang went 1-2 with an 8.19 earned run average but those numbers don’t tell the entire story. He recorded 49 strikeouts and only walked 19 across 24.1 innings. Opponents hit just .189 against him during his 13 appearances which included 10 starts.
The Los Angeles Dodgers discovered Jang when he was 19. He had just finished high school in Korea and was widely expected to be the No.
