A big reason the Pittsburgh Pirates are 61-66 this season is that they have not had third baseman Jung Ho Kang all season. After being charged with a third DUI this offseason, Kang has been unable to get an American work visa.
Due to this, he has been in his native South Korea all season. He has spent the best few months take at-bats against pitching machines but this can not replicate live pitching. Especially live pitching that is of Major League quality.
Well, according to a report, Jung Ho Kang may get to face Major League quality live pitching this season.
