“San Diego asked about Lee Jung-hoo”… Surprising testimony of former NC pitcher Luchinski

“They asked about Lee Jung-hoo in detail.”

These are the words of former NC foreign pitcher Drew Luczynski (Oakland Athletics). On the morning of the 13th (Korean time), Luchinski made a surprise visit to Reed Park baseball field in Tucson, Arizona, NC’s spring camp site. Luczynski, who played for NC until last year, visited the ballpark to cheer up his old teammates and greeted his players. Until last year, Luchinski pitched in 121 games in four seasons in the KBO League, going 53-36 with an ERA of 3.06. At the end of last year, Luchinski signed a contract with Oakland for up to $8 million (approximately 10.1 billion won) for 1+1 years.

Luchinski told the reporters the story of Lee Jeong-hoo (Kiwoom) while explaining his transfer process. Luchinski said, “Before signing with Oakland, I talked to the San Diego club, and they asked me in detail about Lee Jung-hoo (as well as my contract).”

After finishing this season, Lee Jung-hoo announced that he would advance to the major leagues of American professional baseball. Last month, he signed a contract with Boras Corporation, led by Scott Boras, the “Devil’s Agent,” and started preparing to enter the big leagues in earnest. 먹튀검증

Currently, major league clubs are interested in Lee Jung-hoo. Kiwoom’s spring camp site, Salt River Field in Scottsdale, Arizona, is constantly visited by incumbent major league scouts. In particular, the San Francisco Giants of the National League and the Boston Red Sox, a strong team of the American League, which are 30 minutes away by car from Salt River Field, are paying special attention to the field by constantly dispatching scouts.

However, this is the first time that San Diego’s interest has been known. Regarding Lee Jung-hoo, Luchinski said, “I think it’s important to find a defensive position to succeed in the major leagues. When he becomes a center fielder, he can survive because he is good at hitting.”

San Diego is currently playing for a Korean batsman, Kim Ha-seong. In the big leagues, it is called a ‘big market club’ that spends a lot of money. The club is also active in recruiting Asian players such as pitchers Darvish Yu and Kim Ha-seong. As big market clubs such as Boston and San Diego are showing interest, Lee’s ransom is expected to skyrocket. For the first time in the history of a KBO league player advancing to the big leagues, it may be possible to break through 100 million dollars (126.9 billion won).
