Korean outfielder Kim Hyun-Soo headed to The Baltimore Orioles

One of the Korean Baseball stars who might be on his way to MLB is Hyun-Soo Kim who has played his entire career for the Doosan Bears, already receiving an offer from the Baltimore Orioles and picking up interest from other teams, especially the San Diego Padres.

Per Connolly, Kim’s contract with the Orioles is a two-year deal worth $7 million, and the money is evenly distributed with .5 million in salary for each season.

Upon departing for Washington D.C., Thursday morning, Kim said that he was scheduled to meet his agent. Kim is a career.

Kim, who bats left and throws right, became a free agent this year after completing his equivalent of nine full seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). 326 with 28 home runs, 128 RBI and a robust.

Kim’s deal is still pending medical review, but all signs are now pointing to the Korean superstar landing in Baltimore. 438 on base percentage. He’s known for his patience at the plate, as he’s the rare hitter that has collected more career walks (597) than strikeouts (501). Kim drove in three runs in two straight games. Davis turned down a seven-year, $150 million contract offer made by the Orioles last week.

He’s played mostly left field and some first base for Doosan, though he likely will exclusively play outfield for the Orioles.
